** EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. ** The neighbors of the Highland Palms community in La Quinta, CA have recently discovered that the City of La Quinta has apparently been negligently processing “Special Events Permits” for the so-called, DuPont Estate located at 46485 Cameo Palms Drive in La Quinta, CA since, approximately, 2016.
Per the city's code, Special Minor Events are Conditionally Approved by the City provided, among other terms, that evidence of Notification to All Occupants of Dwellings within 500 feet is delivered to its Design and Development Department which processes said Special Events Permits.
A recent Mayoral fundraiser (October 12, 2022) and separate wedding event of more than 50 people (Nov 4-6, 20022) prompted the newer neighbors of the residential community to contact the CIty Manager (who oversees the Design and Development Department) on November 7, 2022 - the day after the 3-day wedding event- for an explanation as to why they had not received the required notification. As of November 14, 2022, the City Manager has yet to reply.
