If you are connected with Church at the Red Door, you are likely aware that we are in the entitlement process to purchase the piece of property on the southeast corner of Avenue 49 and Jefferson Street in Indio, California. Our project has not been without opposition; some of the neighbors are concerned about traffic, some of the neighbors are concerned about outdoor noise.

We have prepared the traffic studies requested by the City. All studies have concluded that at maximum buildout our offsite and onsite improvements are adequate to mitigate traffic concerns. As for noise, we will not be a church that holds outdoor carnivals or outdoor concerts; it's just not part of our DNA.

Another fact is that many of the neighbors may not be aware that the general plan update that the City of Indio recently undertook has changed the zone designation of this property from "country estates" to "connected neighborhood." While the zoning has not been completed for the "connected neighborhood," it will allow for a much greater density than "country estates." It may allow up to 240 units to be built on the property.

CRD is committed to being a good neighbor, and we believe this property is where God wants our church home to be located.

Our specific plan will be going before the City Council on June 16, 2021. We ask that if you are an Indio resident, please sign this petition (placing your address in the comments section) showing your support of Church at the Red Door making their home at this location. We also ask that you share this link on your social media if you feel comfortable doing so and/or forward to your neighbors. If have questions regarding the specific plan or would like to speak at the council meeting, please contact our property development team leader at chrish@churchatthereddoor.com.

Thank you for your consideration!
