The City of Downey’s 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report is prepared by the
Community Development Department with input from various City Departments
including Public Works, Fire, Police, and Parks and Recreation. The report is intended to
provide information on the measurable outcomes and actions associated with the
implementation of all of the General Plan Elements. It also reviews the activities of the
Community Development Department including the Planning, Building and Safety,
Economic Development & Housing, and Code Enforcement Divisions.
The City of Downey General Plan is a long range comprehensive plan that will control
and regulate land uses and development in the City. The individual Elements (land use,
circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, safety, design, and economic
development) of this General Plan contain policies and programs that will guide future
development in the City.
California Government Code Section 65400 et seq. requires the City to annually review
the General Plan. An annual report should be prepared for review and approval by the
Planning Commission/City Council and forwarded to the State Office of Planning and

Background Information
Downey is 12.8 square miles in area. Its topography is relatively level. The City is
located in the southeastern part of Los Angeles County, about 12 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles. It is bounded by: the Rio Hondo River channel to the west;
Telegraph Road to the north; the San Gabriel River channel to the east; and Gardendale
Street and Foster Road to the south. Cities bordering Downey include Pico Rivera, Santa
Fe Springs, Norwalk, Bellflower, Paramount, South Gate, and Commerce. The City of
Downey is provided regional access by four interstate highways: the I-605 Freeway, the I
-5 Freeway, the I-105 Freeway, and the I-710 Freeway. These freeways provide access to
major employment centers including downtown Los Angeles and employment centers in
Orange County.
The City of Downey has matured from its farming roots from its founding in 1873
to become the premier city in the southeast area of Los Angeles County. Downey is one
of the larger suburban cities in the region with a population of 112,584 residents (Source:
Finance Department, City of Downey Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for Fiscal
Year—ended June 30, 2022.)
The issues addressed by General Plan Vision 2025 will work towards achieving this
vision by adhering to the values providing excellent housing, education, employment,
and recreation opportunities plus the mission of providing a safe, convenient, and
attractive community for those that live, work, or visit Downey.
The 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report will be reviewed by the
Planning Commission on March 20, 2024.

The Economic Development and Housing Division is dedicated to 1) promiting
access to economic opportunities for all of Downey’s community and 2) improve
the quality of our neighborhoods and to provide affordable housing to those that
can’t afford it.
Funds managed by the Economic Development and Housing Division, received
through The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (“HUD”) annual
allocation of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home
Investment Partnership (HOME) grants, provide support for some of the City’s
public service programs, including: adult literacy program, senior meals program,
grade school health and eye screening program, counseling at-risk youth program,
rental assistance program, and job training programs. In addition to providing for
public service programs, these two federal grants are available to the City for a
variety of community development activities including affordable housing activities,
neighborhood improvement programs, economic development strategies, and
improvement of public facilities.
Additionally, the Division amended guidelines and regulations to the Housing
Rehabilitation Grant Program. This was done in an effort to remain compliant with
regulations stipulated by HUD. The grant program is offered to households who fall
within the 50 percent Annual Median Income as defined by HUD. In 2023, the City
issued 14 grants.
11
The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for enforcing the Downey Municipal codes
that relate to residential and business property maintenance standards, including
business licensing. Code Enforcement also enforces building, health and safety
standards related to environmental protection and neighborhood preservation. The
Division works in close cooperation with all City departments and the City Prosecutor to
educate the public and gain the willing compliance of violators.
Code Enforcement activity for the year of 2023 involved 1,359 cases for various property
violations (i.e. commercial, residential, public street, park and recreational) and closed
out 1,088 cases. March had the highest number of new cases generated with 164 cases.

Angel City Market has submitted an application to have reoccurring street closures in Downtown
Downey to host outdoor night markets which feature a variety of vendors.
14
The Land Use chapter establishes the policies for determining where certain land
uses, such as residential, commercial, industrial, are most desirable. The Land Use
chapter defines the physical areas in the City serving the needs of residents,
businesses, and visitors.
There were no new housing projects within these areas.
Larger housing development have been approved in the past years. Staff
continues to inform and assist all potential applicants interested in
constructing in these areas. Work was also conducted as part of the General
Plan Housing element identifying the Downey Landing, along with other
major retail parcels, as a site for high density development. The General Plan
Housing Element was approved in October 2022.
The Economic
development Division continues to explore new ways of creating a sense of
place for the City’s Downtown. This has been achieved through the
installation of art murals and sculptures. The City works in conjunction with
the Downtown Downey Improvement Association to establish wayfinding/
place making signs and community events. Major efforts are also made in
business retention which was made much more of a priority since the start of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
New single-family design guidelines and
development standards were adopted in 2021, and continue to successfully
be implemented in 2022. Staff worked with the community in receiving
feedback on design within the Single Family Residential neighborhoods. The
development standards and design guidelines help ensure that mass and
scale of new construction is in harmony with the surrounding neighborhoods.
In 2022, there were 19 new dwelling units built.
15
The safe and efficient movement of people and goods through cities is provided by
a circulation system ranging from sidewalks to roadways. As population and
economic growth continue, cities have the challenge of improving the circulation
system to deal with increased demands. Population and economic growth also
impact the infrastructure needed to provide utilities and other services for those
who live, work, and visit Downey.
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan
from FY22– FY27 outlines various traffic improvement programs to increase
capacity in order to maintain an acceptable level-of-service, increase mobility
and enhance safety. The following are two examples were in progress during
2023. is in the process of initiating improvements at the following intersections
Lakewood Boulevard Traffic Signal Upgrades – This project will upgrade
existing traffic signals and curb access ramps at the Lakewood Boulevard
at 5th Street-Cecilia Street and Lakewood Boulevard at Alameda Street
intersections. The project started in 2020 and is anticipated to be
completed by April 2024.
Biennial Citywide Traffic Striping of Roadways – This project includes
repainting of existing pavement traffic striping and markings at various
locations in the City. The project started in 2020 and has continued
through 2023, and will continue through 2026.
Over the past several years, the City
has been incrementally expanding the traffic signal control system. Initially,
the Traffic Management Center was implemented at City Hall in 2005 and the
first fiber-optic traffic signal communications systems were installed along
the Lakewood Blvd. and Firestone Blvd. corridors. Additional systems have
since been implemented along Florence Avenue, Paramount Boulevard,
Bellflower Boulevard, Imperial—-Highway, Woodruff Avenue and Telegraph
Road. The City is currently constructing fiber-optic communication networks
along the Paramount Blvd. corridors. In addition, the city is currently in the
process of upgrading the system software and other elements of the TMC to
maintain pace with current technology and replace obsolete hardware and
software.
16
Major capacity improvements are proposed at the four intersections
as described in Program 2.1.1.1. The city received funding through the Federal
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to upgrade and implement
operational improvements to the existing traffic signals at nine (9)
intersections along Paramount Boulevard, as well as seven (7) intersections
along Stewart & Gray Road. In addition, the city received HSIP funding to
upgrade and implement operational improvements to the existing traffic
signals at nine (9) intersections along Imperial Highway. Additional
proposed traffic signal upgrades at the intersections along Firestone
Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard, Paramount Boulevard, Florence Avenue
and Imperial Highway are currently under construction. These projects are
anticipated through 2023.
Developer fees are collected on
a case-by-case basis by the Public Works Department through the
development plan review/entitlement process. Approximately $250,000 is
collected from developers each year. In addition, the city is proposing to
complete a transportation impact developer fee nexus study in conjunction
with the next General Plan Circulation Element update.
Land development projects are
reviewed on a case-by-case basis for potential traffic impact. If trip
generation thresholds in accordance with CEQA guidelines are exceeded, a
traffic impact analysis study is required which will determine mitigation
measures necessary to offset the impacts created by the development at any
signalized intersections or the amount of development fee to be collected.
The intersection improvement projects included under Programs 2.1.1.1 and
2.1.1.6 are intended to increase capacity and operational efficiency at these
intersections in order to encourage through traffic on arterial streets and
minimize intrusion through residential neighborhoods. In addition, the traffic
signal communication system projects mentioned in Program 2.1.1.3 will
17
(cont.) improve mobility along major corridors which will also minimize
intrusion through residential neighborhoods. In addition, the city’s Traffic
Calming Program provides a framework for discouraging through traffic on
local streets through a series of traffic calming measures which are applied to
local residential streets as appropriate in response to complaints submitted by
residents.
Bike lanes exist throughout various major streets in
Downey. The City also initiated a Downey Bike Master Plan, Implementation
Phase 1 in 2018, which would install Class II and Class III bicycle facilities on
nine roadway segments, bicycle parking facilities, and way finding signs. The
project includes slurry seal of roadway pavement, new roadway striping,
pavement markings and signage, and traffic signal modification to detect
bicycles at several intersections. Project was completed in 2023.
In 2023, the city
renewed 372 business licenses for home-based business. This allows people
who live in residential zoned properties an opportunity to work from home.
The City of Downey
Public Works Department issues overload permits to ensure that the correct
haul routes are utilized through the city and that proper arrangements have
been made in advance. In addition, truck circulation improvements will be
incorporated in the various proposed intersection improvements as referenced
in Program 2.1.1.1.
18
Section 3173 of the
Downey Municipal Code states No person shall park or leave standing upon any
public street or private property, any commercial vehicle having a manufacturer’s
unladen weight in excess six thousand (6,000) pounds or having a width in
excess of eighty-four inches (84”) as measured at the widest portion of the body,
not including mirrors or other extensions, or having a height in excess of eighty -
four inches (84”), or any trailer, or commercial equipment, irrespective of weight,
upon any public street or on public or private property in the City, except:
1) When such vehicle is parked in an industrial zone, excluding parking
buffer zones;
2) When such vehicle, trailer and/or commercial equipment is parked while
being loaded or unloaded or in connection with, and in the aid of the
performance of, a service to or on a property in the block in which such
performance of, a service to or on a property in the block in which such
vehicle, trailer and/or commercial equipment is parked until such service
is completed; or
3) When the vehicle, trailer or commercial equipment is immobile due to
accident or mechanical breakdown, in which event said vehicle, trailer
and/or commercial equipment may be parked for a period of time not
to exceed eight (8) hours;
4) When such trailer is attached to a motor vehicle capable of providing
the motive power for moving the trailer upon the street, alley, public
way or place.
The following are excluded from the provisions of this section:
1) Pick-up trucks as defined by California Vehicle Code Section 471 which are not
used for commercial purposes or defined as a commercial vehicle pursuant to
California Vehicle Code Section 260, and commercial vehicles, trailers and/or
commercial equipment parked or stored on private, commercially zoned
property, and owned or operated by the same commercial use.
2) Commercial vehicles, trailers and/or commercial equipment operated and
parked by a registered transient guest of a motel or hotel if such commercial
vehicle, trailer and/or commercial equipment is parked within approved
designated vehicle parking areas upon the business premises of the motel or
hotel.
In addition, the City requires new land development uses to provide parking for
commercial vehicles (i.e., trucks and truck-trailer combinations) making deliveries
or pick-ups from said use on the property itself and highly discourages the
parking of commercial vehicles upon the adjacent public street while making
deliveries or pick-ups.
19
Approximately $5 million annually is programmed in the
city’s Capital Improvement Program for the rehabilitation and/or reconstruction
of the city’s arterial, collector and local streets. In addition, developers are
assessed fees on a case-by-case, pro-rata share basis towards pavement
rehabilitation of arterial streets designated as truck routes. The City collects $1.5
million annually from its trash collection company which is applied towards the
rehabilitation of the City’s residential streets.
The City coordinates extensively with
various regional agencies to enhance multi-modal travel within the City. The City
previously secured a $1.3 million grant from Metro to implement a bus transit priority
system which will improve travel times for public transit buses (Metro and Downey
LINK) by giving the transit vehicles priority at signalized intersections. In addition,
the City received a Community-Based Transportation Planning grant from Caltrans in
2013 for the development of a Bicycle Master Plan which was adopted by the City
Council in 2015. Furthermore, the City received state-funded Active Transportation
Program (ATP) grants in 2015 in the amount of $300,000 for the development of a
Citywide Pedestrian Plan and in the amount of $240,000 for a Safe Routes to School
Project involving the installation of approximately 1,600 linear feet of sidewalk on
residential streets and the conducting of safety education events for four elementary
and one middle school in the southerly portion of the City. The City coordinated the
development of its Bicycle Master Plan with adjoining cities (i.e., South Gate,
Paramount, Bellflower and Norwalk) to ensure connectivity of proposed bike routes
within the City with those in the neighboring jurisdictions as well as the Gateway
Cities COG to make sure the plan fit into the Transportation Strategic Plan (STP), a
comprehensive multi-modal transportation framework developed for the Gateway
Cities subregion to address the subregion’s long-term mobility needs.
20
The City
continues to assist in the processing of telecommunication related permits
located on both public and private property.
Funding sources for projects mentioned in this
Circulation Element progress report include Los Angeles County Metro, Fed-
eral Transportation Improvement Programs, and the California Department
of Transportation.
21
The California State Legislature has identified the “Attainment of a decent home and
suitable living environment for every citizen”, as the State’s major housing goal.
Accordingly, the State of California mandates that each county and city maintain a
Housing Element in their General Plan. Section 65583 of the Government Code sets
forth the specific components to be contained in a community’s housing element,
including the City’s share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
In addition to providing assistance and guidance for the City’s Housing Element, the
Housing Division administers a variety of community development activities including
affordable housing activities, neighborhood improvement programs, economic
development strategies, improvement of public facilities, and support for needed
public services. The following is in regards to Chapter 2 (Housing Plan) of the 2021-
2029 Housing Element goals administered by the Housing Division:
Program 1.1 – Adequate Sites
Objective: The City of Downey has a remaining RHNA of 6,332 units for
the 2021-2029 RHNA planning period after credits for
permitted or approved units are taken into consideration.
After approved and proposed projects, projected ADU
development, and sites on vacant and underutilized land for
two residential designations and within the Downtown
Downey Specific Plan area are identified there is a RHNA
shortfall is 3,896 units. To address the shortfall, the City has
identified various sites that, while appropriate for
redevelopment and intensification, require General Plan
amendments, zone changes, 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
6-5 and the addition of residential overlays to facilitate
residential development. Once appropriate land use and
zoning actions are taken, the City can adequately
accommodate the remaining RHNA. The General Plan and
Zoning update and its associated environmental review will
include all necessary technical studies including a thorough
infrastructure assessment and mitigation program. .
Status: The City acquired the Services of MIG, a qualified urban
planning and design firm, to assist with the implementation of
the City new Housing Element. That task will include the
rezoning of sites identified in the Housing Element as
opportunity sites. These sites are sufficient to accommodate
the City’s RHNA, as well as a surplus of units.
22
Program 3 – Monitor and Preserve Affordable Housing
Promote the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) by adopting an
ADU ordinance that reflects current State law, including permit streamlining
processes and fee assessment. Facilitate and encourage ADU development in
Downey as follows:
• Create a process to bring unpermitted ADUs up to code.
• Consider reducing development fees for ADUs.
• Create a one-stop assistance center for homeowners interested in
developing an ADU. Establish a one-stop webpage on the City’s website
to serve as a repository for ADU information including developments
standards and requirements, fee estimated, information on ADU
development through the provisions of Senate Bill 9.
• Implement, and provide to interested homeowners, state architect
standard plans, when released, to support ADU development and
streamline the plan check process for ADUs.
• Continue the City’s public outreach program to encourage ADU
development, including advertising ADU development opportunities on the
City’s website, in local newspapers, in local utility bills, and at various
community centers, including the public library. Establish ADU office hours
every other month to allow for one- on-one help to interested homeowners
on an appointment basis. 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT 6-9
• Monitor ADU permit applications, approvals, and affordability through the
Housing Element Annual Progress Report process. Identify and implement
additional incentives or other strategies, as appropriate, to ensure
adequate sites during the planning period. If production falls below levels
anticipated in the Housing Element, the City will evaluate and ensure that
adequate sites are available through the adopted sites inventory, or it will I
dentify additional sites to ensured continued provision of adequate sites.
Status: The City continues to ministerially approve ADUs and JADUs
for single-family and multi-family properties. Additionally, the
City is currently working on updating the ADU Ordinance to
comply with new State Law. In 2023, the City received 201
amount of ADU/JADU applications, and issued permits for 142
ADU/JADUs.
23
Program 21 – Fair Housing
Objective: Continue to contract with and refer fair housing
complaints to the Fair Housing Foundation, whose services
include counseling and mediation between tenants and
landlords, fair housing trainings, workshops, and outreach.
Facilitate public education and outreach by creating
informational, multilingual informational material on fair
housing that will be made available at public counters,
libraries, post office, other community locations and on the
City’s website.
Promote public awareness of federal, State, and local
regulations regarding equal access to housing. Provide
information to the public on various state and federal
housing programs and fair housing law. Maintain referral
information on the City’s web site and at a variety of other
locations such as community and senior centers, local
social service offices, social media, via email, and at other
public locations including City Hall and the library.
Status: Activity remains ongoing. In 2023, total of 238 Downey
residents were assisted by the FHF. (Data source: Fair
Housing Foundation) The City continues to educate
residents on the resources available to them provided by
the FHF. In addition, informational handouts are found at
the Housing Division public counter. Information and
documents are provided in both english and spanish. Staff
is trained on the purpose of the foundation and their
services.
24
The State Housing Report is attached to this report as an appendix (Appendix A) to
provide additional details pertaining to the Housing Element’s plans and accommoda-
tions to housing needs within the City of Downey.
Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA)
Each local government in California is required to adopt a Housing Element as part of its
General Plan that shows how the community plans to meet the existing and projected
housing needs of people at all income levels. The Regional Housing Need Allocation
(RHNA) is the state-mandated process to identify the total number of housing units (by
affordability level) that each jurisdiction must accommodate in its Housing Element. In
2023, City of Downey issued 155 building permits for the construction of new dwelling
units, including ADUs.
The State Housing Report is attached to this report as an appendix to provide additional
details pertaining to the Housing Element’s plans and accommodations to housing
needs within the City of Downey.
25
The City of Downey, like the rest of southern California, enjoy a temperate climate,
access to both beaches and mountains and many other amenities not found in
many other parts of the world. The quality of life that the region offers its residents
is one of the main reasons the region continues to attract visitors and newcomers.
However, southern California is a semi-arid desert environment with limited natural
resources. These limited resources, need to be preserved for continued use by
existing residents and by future generations.
Water Supply
Continue providing information to the public promoting the benefits of
water conservation (Program 4.1.1.1.). Staff continued to provide samples of
synthetic turf at the Community Development Department Planning counter.
Residents were encouraged to work with Planning staff for additional
information regarding installation and materials. All new developments and
landscape remodels require the use of drought tolerant species, and are
designed by licensed landscape architects.
Promote the continued use of water conservation methods at city -owned
facilities, such as parks and golf courses (Program 4.1.1.3.). The City
continued to look for additional opportunities to expand its use of recycled
water at City-owned and other sites as recycled water becomes
available. Some of the larger City locations where recycled water is currently
used include: Downey Cemetery, Independence Park, Rio San Gabriel Park,
Wilderness Park, Rio Hondo Golf Course, Crawford Park, Columbia Memorial
Space Center, and Sports Park. The City currently maintains 35 recycled
water services/meters for use at City Park and golf course ponds, and for
irrigation of landscaping at parks, golf course, and medians/parkways.
Encourage the use of reclaimed water, or re-use of water on-site, for
new and redevelopment projects (Program 4.1.1.4). The Public Works
Department continued to require contractors and developers to install
recycled water services/piping and meters where recycled water is located in
proximity to the development projects.
Expand the availability of reclaimed water by extending the dual-pipe
water system (Program 4.1.1.5.). The recycled water facility at the Downey
Promenade Shopping Center allows the use of recycled water for landscape
irrigation at medians/parkways along Lakewood Boulevard, Bellflower
Boulevard and future construction projects along these corridor.
26
Stormwater Quality
Provide treatment of runoff generated by properties on-site before release into
the storm drain system (Program 4.3.1.1).
Section 5705 of the Downey Municipal Code specifies requirements for urban
runoff reduction and requires the owner, occupant or other person in charge of
the day-to-day operation or maintenance of each parcel within the City to adhere
to Best Management Practices (BMPs) requirements in order to prevent or
reduce the discharge of pollutants to achieve water quality standards.
Section 5706 of the Downey Municipal Code specifies source control
requirements for all new development or redevelopment applications within the
City. The applicant shall submit an appropriate project specific Urban Runoff
Mitigation Plan to the Director of Public Works. The Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan
shall include structural and design elements that typically increase infiltration,
reduce pollutant conveyance and decrease runoff, including:
Landscaping/vegetated areas, sand filters, swales, infiltration basins,
biofilters and planters to maximize infiltration;
Replacing impermeable surfaces with porous materials;
Directing impervious surface runoff to permeable areas;
Grading the site to encourage runoff to permeable areas;
Directing runoff to dry wells, perforated pipes, infiltration trenches or
other source reduction BMPs;
Designing curbs and landscaping to facilitate infiltration;
Using cisterns or retention basins to store precipitation; and
Installing treatment control BMPs to remove pollutants.
All Urban Runoff Mitigation Plans shall include a structural and treatment control
BMP maintenance schedule, the applicant’s signed statement of responsibility for
continued BMP maintenance and plan for continued maintenance responsibilities.
In addition, the plan must indicate that subsequent property transfers include, as
a written condition and are subject to, the transferee assuming full responsibility
for maintenance of any structural, treatment and/or source control BMPs.
The applicant shall retain responsibility for such maintenance until responsibility
is legally transferred in accordance with this chapter. The applicant, facility
operators and/or owners shall also provide, as requested by the Director of
Public Works, any other legally enforceable agreement which assigns
responsibility for the maintenance of post-construction structural or treatment
control BMPs.
27
As a condition for issuing a certificate of occupancy for a new development or
redevelopment project, the Director of Public Works shall require the applicant,
facility operators and/or owners, as appropriate, to construct all storm water
pollution control BMPs and structural or treatment control BMPs shown on the
approved project plans, to submit, for review and approval, a BMP maintenance
schedule and inspection plan and to file a signed statement that the project site
and all structural or treatment control BMPs shall be maintained in compliance
with the Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan.
Section 5707 requires the following design elements for all new development or
redevelopment projects:
(1) Preparation and Director of Public Works approval of the Urban
Runoff Mitigation Plan, as a condition of Community Development
Department approval.
(2) Runoff shall be restricted from running through certain areas.
(3) Developments which include outdoor material storage areas that
may discharge MS4 pollutants must include design elements to
place materials within enclosures to prevent the pollutants from
flowing into storm drains and impervious surfaces in all liquid
handling areas.
(4) Waste material bins with a capacity greater than fifty gallons
shall be stored in a covered area to prevent rainfall or roof drainage
through the waste.
Any project including down spouts, roof gutters or subsurface drainage
shall utilize perforated pipe or similar systems in approved infiltration areas,
unless approved by the Director of Public Works.
Each Urban Runoff Management Plan shall be individually evaluated to
determine whether the proposed project and site characteristics meet
governmental standards and must demonstrate to the Director of Public
Works’ satisfaction that proposed BMPs numeric design criteria or design
elements meet the requirements of the Downey Municipal Code.
The Director of Public Works shall approve or disapprove of any project
plans. No city grading or building permit shall be issued until the director
has approved the Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan.
28
Development projects subject to permitting and approval for the design and im-
plementation of post-construction controls to mitigate storm water pollution
prior to completion of the project include:
All development projects equal to (1) acre or greater of disturbed area
that adds more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface area,
Industrial parks 10,000 square feet or more of surface area,
Commercial malls 10,000 square feet or more of surface area,
Retail gasoline outlets with 5,000 square feet or more of surface area,
Restaurants with 5,000 square feet or more of surface area,
Parking lots with 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area or
with 25 or more parking spaces.
Streets and roads construction of 10,000 square feet or more of impervi-
ous surface area.
Automotive service facilities with 5,000 square feet or more of surface
area.
Projects located in or directly adjacent to or discharging directly to an en-
vironmentally sensitive area, where the development will either discharge
storm water runoff that is likely to impact a sensitive biological species or
habitat and create 2,500 square feet or more of impervious surface area.
Single family hillside homes.
Redevelopment projects with land disturbing activity resulting in the cre-
ation or addition or replacement of 5,000 square feet or more of impervi-
ous surface area on an already developed site.
The site for every planning priority project shall be designed to control pollu-
tants, pollutant loads, and runoff volume to the maximum extent feasible by
minimizing impervious surface area and controlling runoff from impervious sur-
faces through infiltration, evapotranspiration, bioretention and/or rainfall harvest
and use. Projects not classified with general applicability listed in this section
but resulting in the creation or addition or replacement of 800 square feet or
more of impervious surface area shall be designed to control pollutants, pollu-
tant loads and runoff volume as approved by the City.
Promote effective street cleaning (Program 4.3.1.3.). The City continued to
vacuum-sweep streets weekly. These streets are posted with “No Parking” signs
during the appointed period and Parking Enforcement Officers accompany the
sweeper vehicles. Residents utilizing to their properties as a condition of being
exempted from the posted parking restrictions.
29
Encourage proper storage and handling of construction materials to avoid the
contact of pollutants with storm water runoff during construction (Program
4.3.1.4.). Public Works, Code Enforcement, and Building and Safety staff contin-
ued to share responsibility for implementing Program 4.3.1.4 of the City Vision
2025 General Plan. Public Works focused on construction projects in the public
right-of-way, preparation and review of erosion control plans by developers,
compliance by large state permitted construction sites and responding to com-
plaints of materials in the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), which
includes streets, alleys and drains. Building and Safety is primarily responsible
for on-site or private property conditions, while Code Enforcement responds to
resident complaints and provides more aggressive enforcement capabilities to
supplement other staff efforts. Projects are required to comply with Best Man-
agement Projects which aim to prevent pollutants from construction from con-
taminating storm water runoff.
Tree Preservation
Promote the installation of new trees when damaged or dying trees are re-
moved (Program 4.4.1.3.). The Public Works Department continued to work
with property owners to ensure that the removal of damaged trees and the
placement of new trees comply with City’s Tree Ordinance. Public Works De-
partment is responsible for reviewing and approving all proposed landscaping
plans within the public right-of-ways and street medians. Section 7605 of the
Downey Municipal Code specifies that, “Any public street tree removed shall be
replaced if a replacement is deemed appropriate and if it is mutually agreed to
by both the City and the property owner.”
Air Quality
Promote the use of alternative fuel vehicles, including clean diesel, com-
pressed natural gas, hydrogen, that result in reduced emissions, including in
instances involving City operations (Program 4.5.1.5.). With the growing num-
ber of electric and hybrid vehicles, additional charging stations have been in-
stalled in private facilities (Stonewood Mall, and The Apollo Center) to promote
the use of natural gas and pure electric vehicles. The City also complies with
state regulations for permit streamlining of these types of projects.
Energy Resources
Ensure the installation of energy efficient street lights and traffic signals
(Program 4.6.2.1.).
The City utilizes light-emitting diode (LED) vehicle and pedestrian indications at
all signalized intersections owned and maintained by the City. In addition, the
City utilizes LED technology at all City-owned and maintained street and pedes-
trian lights.
30
Natural and non-natural hazards present a variety of risks to persons who live,
work, and visit the City. The aim of the City is to reduce the potential risk of death,
injuries, property damage, and the economic and social dislocation resulting from
hazards.
Disaster Response
Coordinate emergency preparedness with the federal, state, school district
and other local agencies (Program 5.1.2.3.). The Office of Emergency Man-
agement throughout the year, has continued to coordinate with the federal,
state, and neighboring local agencies’ in preparing for response and recovery
efforts in the event of disasters. This was done through planning, training
and exercising; the goal is to minimize the loss of lives and property.
Monitor the location, type of facility, and amount of hazardous materials
kept at properties (Program 5.2.1.2.). The Fire Department continues to
monitor and inspect all facilities that handle hazardous materials at or above
the reportable quantities as set forth in the California Health & Safety Code
(§25503.5). Inspections are conducted every other year to ensure compli-
ance with both the Fire and Health & Safety Codes. The frequency of these
inspections exceed the State’s minimum requirement that hazardous materi-
als inspections occur once every three years.
Promote public information regarding the types of hazardous materials,
which may include common household items, and the proper method of
disposal (Program 5.2.1.3.). The Downey Fire Department continued to up-
date its website to provide up-to-date information on the safe handling and
disposal of hazardous materials. The website’s Emergency Preparedness sec-
tion contains information on hazardous material awareness and safety, in ad-
dition to educational information on fire safety.
Hazardous Materials
Ensure proper disclosure of amounts of hazardous materials by existing us-
es and proposed uses, during the business review process (Program
5.2.1.4.). The Downey Fire Prevention Bureau continued to conduct inspec-
tions during the business license application process. Once identified as a
handler of hazardous materials, these businesses receive an inspection from
Downey Fire Department’s Hazardous Material Section to ensure accurate
disclosure of the hazardous substances, and the safe handling and storage of
the materials. The facilities are then entered into the Fire Department’s data-
base, issued an operational permit, and placed on a routine inspection fre-
quency.
31
Ensure that properties involving hazardous materials dispose of waste
properly (Program 5.2.2.1). The Public Works Integrated Waste Coordinator
continued to monitor and manage hazardous waste disposal from residential
properties. Businesses handling hazardous waste are permitted and inspected
by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department Health -Hazardous Materials
Division.
Promote the convenient “drop-off” collection for the disposal of hazardous
waste generated by residential households and other land uses (Program
5.2.2.2). The City continued to offer programs that encourages residents to
dispose hazardous waste materials (i.e. electronic devices) to both the
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Program and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Safe Drug Drop -off
Program, which accepts expired prescription medications and sharps (i.e.,
needles). The Downey Police Department and Downey C.E.R.T members
participated in the annual National Prescription Drug-Take Back Initiative. In
2023, Downey residents again had an opportunity to drop off expired, unused
and unwanted prescription drugs. All of the collected items were turned over
to the D.E.A for disposal.
Fire Protection
Promote adequate widths on travel lanes along street and alleys to
accommodate emergency vehicles (Program 5.3.1.2.). The Fire Prevention
Bureau personnel continued to review plans diligently to ensure emergency
vehicle access through private driveways, public streets, and alleys will be
accommodated. This review is completed early in the Planning application
process to ensure proper site layout is achieved.
Ensure that development projects install fire hydrants, water mains, or
otherwise contribute its fair share towards mitigating impacts on the fire
flow system (Program 5.3.2.3.). The Fire and Public Works Departments
continued to enforce the requirements for additional fire hydrants for
development projects through the plan check process. The Community
Development Department continued to distribute projects to the
departments that participate in Development Review Committee (DRC)
meetings and received comments and conditions virtually from various City
Departments since meetings were not being conducted for most of 2021.
Promote the use of fire sprinklers for new, expanded, and remodeled
developments (Program 5.3.2.4.). The Fire Prevention Bureau continued to
require automatic sprinkler systems for new commercial developments in
accordance with California Fire Code and NFPA standards and tenant
improvements of commercial properties, whose permit valuations exceed 50
percent of the value of the building.
32
Ensure access for emergency vehicles through security pedestrian and
vehicular gates (Program 5.3.2.6.). The Fire Prevention Bureau continued to
require emergency lighting, exit signs, Knox box, and 2A -10BC fire
extinguishers for all commercial and industrial projects.
Police Protection
Keep crime rates and property loss rates at the lowest levels feasible
(Program 5.4.1.1.). In an effort to keep crime and property loss rates low, the
Police Department continued to work closely with the community by
providing crime prevention tips and education through the 227 Neighborhood
Watch Groups, along with various social media platforms. To continue the
high level of service to the community, the Department staffs 121 Sworn Police
Officers, 5 Parking Enforcement Officers, 3 Community Service Officers, 32
Patrol Vehicles, 1 Armored Rescue Vehicle, 1 Citizens’ Academy, 1 Citizens on
Patrol/ Volunteer Program, 1 Police Explorer Program, 1 Business Watch
Program, 1 Mental Health/ Homeless Outreach Team (2 dedicated Officers and
2 LA County Mental Health Professionals in partnership), 1 Tactical Medical
Team, 1 Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Team, and 1 Park Ranger
Program (4 Part Time Park Rangers) .
Maintain an acceptable response time for police emergency service calls
(Program 5.4.1.2.). The Police Department continued to maintain a swift
response time to high priority emergency calls that require immediate
assistance to ensure the public’s safety.
Promote the use of technology as tools to improve staff productivity
(Program 5.4.1.5.). The Police Department continued to expand its use of
technology through the growth of its social media presence and the creation
of the Online Citizen Reporting System to report incidents such as bicycle
theft, custody order violations, lost property and supplemental reports for
property crimes. The Department went through upgrades in their Computer
Automated Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS).
Coordinate with Federal, State, and County agencies to address illegal
activities (Program 5.4.1.7.). The Department continued to receive both state
and federal funding (grants) to provide directed enforcement and education
to residents pertaining to traffic safety, neighborhood preservation, and
alcohol and tobacco related criminal behavior. The Special Enforcement Team
33
(cont.) the Department to conduct several checkpoints and specialized
patrols, targeting those found operating motor vehicles under the influence
of alcohol and/or drugs. The Neighborhood Preservation Team was able to
target specific crime trends in neighborhoods through the Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).
Support community organizations and neighborhood awareness programs
that promote crime prevention, including preventing gang activity
(Program 5.4.2.2.). The Department continued to participate in awareness
programs such as Gangs Out of Downey (GOOD) and promoted crime
prevention through its Neighborhood Watch Program. The Department
continued to work closely with Clinicians from the Los Angeles County
Mental Health through the Mental Evaluation Team, which includes two
dedicated Police Officers. The team members receive specialized training to
better assist those with challenges caused by various types of mental illness.
Earthquake Safety
Monitor groundwater table levels as they relate to liquefaction hazards
(Program 5.5.1.3.). Public Works continued to regularly observe ground
water levels at well sites around the City. The ground water table is typically
greater than 50’ below the soil surface, which limits the risk of liquefaction to
residential and typical commercial structures. Larger structures and those
with significant subterranean components may be requested to provide
additional seismic evaluations during the development process or as a
condition of approval.
Ensure the placement of utility lines underground (Program 5.5.1.6.). The
Public Works Department continued to implement Underground Utility
Districts for all development projects. In addition, Southern California Edison
Company continued to prohibit the use of vaults installed above ground to
protect the equipment and electrical lines from the intrusion of moisture.
Chapter 5 Safety Element continued
34
conducted several operations funded by the State’s Alcohol Beverage
Control and Tobacco grants.
Floods
Educate the public that the City is located in an “X” flood zone where flood
insurance is no longer mandatory (Program 5.6.1.2.). The Public Works
Department continued to provide handouts at the public counter regarding
the current FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) and flood zoning . FIRM
information can be found at www.fema.gov website.
Minimize increases in the amount of stormwater generated by existing and
proposed land uses (Program 5.6.2.1.). The Public Works Department
continued to enforce National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements, during plan check review for new and redevelopment
projects with 5,000 square feet or more of new or replacement impervious
surfaces, which are generally required to provide infiltration volume
commensurate with an 85th percentile within 24-hour runoff event
(whichever is greater) on the new or replacement impervious surface. Larger
developments are required to prepare a Standard Urban Stormwater
Mitigation Plan and demonstrate that no increase in peak runoff rate will be
observed as a result of the development and that at least 85th percentile or
0.75 inch in a 24-hour event (whichever is greater) of projected runoff can be
infiltrated.
Vehicular Traffic
Require street lights for new developments (Program 5.7.1.2.). New
development projects are subject to section 9520.06 of the zoning code to
comply with outdoor lighting requirements. As a condition of approval
through the Site Plan Review process, properties are annexed into the City of
Downey Lighting Maintenance District in accordance with Division 15 of the
Streets and Highways Code.
Encourage the installation of sidewalks in new developments and major
remodeling consistent with the Sidewalk Master Plan (Program 5.7.2.2).
The City requires land developers and property owners to construct new
sidewalk where it doesn’t exist through the entitlement process in
conjunction with new on-site construction involving the adjacent property.
The City is currently undertaking the development of a Citywide Pedestrian
Plan which will serve as a blueprint for the gradual development of the City’s
circulation system over time. The city currently has 170 miles of sidewalk.
35
Promote street intersection design and signalization that are safe and
convenient to pedestrians and bicyclists (Program 5.7.2.3). The safety and
convenience of pedestrians and bicyclists are taken into consideration in the
designs of intersections as well as signalization. Intersections are designed to be
accessible to pedestrians in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). In addition, the Citywide Pedestrian Plan will recommend a series of
projects featuring innovative pedestrian treatments and amenities to be
deployed at intersections such as curb extensions. Furthermore, the City
completed a citywide safety lighting retrofit in 2018 which involved the
conversion of all city-owned safety lights at intersections to LED luminaires.
Traffic signal installations and upgrades also take pedestrian and bicycle safety
and convenience into consideration through the use of pedestrian countdown
indications and pedestrian accessible pushbuttons (a few of which are audible
for the blind). The City’s traffic signals are also timed to provide sufficient time
for pedestrians to cross the street in accordance with state guidelines.
Detection systems at signalized intersections are also required to detect the
presence of bicycles. Lastly, the City initiated a project involving the installation
of Class II bike lanes on eight of the City’s minor arterial streets as recommended
by the City’s Bicycle Master Plan. This project is was completed in June 2021.
36
Noise can be defined as unwanted sound and is known to have several adverse effects
on people. The most critical impact of noise exposure is hearing loss. Other effects are
speech interference, sleep interference and annoyance.
Ensure that existing land uses that are generating noise beyond the acceptable
levels reduce noise levels to acceptable levels (Program 6.3.1.2.). The City
continued to enforce it’s noise ordinance (Section 4600 of the Downey
Municipal Code). This involves the permitted hours for construction. For
projects that involved amplified music, the City continued to strictly enforce
businesses to mitigate noise impacts by imposing conditions of approval
through a conditional use permit application process. Also, the Downey Police
Department Special Enforcement Team conducted IMPACT inspections to
ensure businesses are operating at an acceptable noise level.
In addition, the City continued to require projects that involve live entertainment
activities and projects that have the potential to generate noise from machinery
equipment or amplified music to comply with City’s noise ordinance. This can
be regulated by imposing conditions of approval through the entitlement
process.
Discourage the placement of air conditioning equipment, electric generators,
or other noise-generating equipment in close proximity to adjacent properties
(Program 6.3.1.6.). The City’s Planning Division continued to enforce code
section 9504 of the Downey Municipal Code requiring all mechanical equipment
to be screened and appropriately setback from neighboring properties. This
applied to all new developments and applicable remodels undertaken in 2022.
37
Typical of most communities located within mature urbanized settings, Downey has a
limited amount of open space areas. Open space areas are important not only to
provide recreational activities for residents but also as a visual break from the built
environment.
Updates:
Part Time & Full Time employees were appropriately assigned to adequately meet
recreational staffing needs. Services include park maintenance, after school
programs, youth sports, food distribution events, senior meal distribution, and
wellness checks.
Secure alternative means of funding, such as grants, donations, user fees and
public/private partnerships, for park upgrades (Program 7.2.2.5.). Projects that
were funded by The California Department of Parks & Recreation and Measure S in
2019 continued be monitored by The Parks & Recreation Department in 2023
Upgrades to citywide playground structures were started in 2020 and carried out
throughout 20223 Funding for those upgrades, in part, was received from the LA
County Maintenance & Servicing Express Funds Program. Lastly, the City acquired
funds in 2020 through the State of California General Fund Grant in an effort to
design and construct a new Space Shuttle Exhibit Building. The project is
anticipated to run through 2024.
Promote the creation of new parks, especially in areas of the city in the greatest
need of additional parks (Program 7.3.1.1.). The Parks & Recreation Department is
working with the County of Los Angeles in the construction stage on the south
side of the Rancho Los Amigos sports complex project. The project began with
demolition of existing buildings at the site and construction continued through
2022. We are continuing to monitor California Prop 68 funds. Furthermore,
Measure A funds were used to supplement Measure S projects.
Actively work with private, non-profit and public community services
organizations to provide educational and community services including child
care, English translation, after school programs and recreational activities
(Program 7.4.1.5.). The Parks & Recreation Department offers recreational classes
and programs offered by contract instructors. In 2023 Parks & Recreation staff
continued operating a food meal service for seniors 65+ which includes a Grab n’
Go program and a home delivered meals component. In addition, the Parks &
Recreation Department continues to collaborate with TLC (True Lasting
Connections) organization, a branch of DUSD that supports children and their
families including access to child care, and essential services to families in need.
38
Most residents, visitors, and businesses in Downey recognize the City as the premiere
city in the southeast area of Los Angeles County. However, others less familiar with the
City’s history may not share this perception and judge Downey solely on the physical
appearance of the area. For this reason, it is important that the visual appearance of
the community portray a positive image and that the community image display the
distinct and numerous resources it has to offer.
Promote quality design for new, expanded, and remodeled construction (Goal
8.1). The City continued to contract Architectural Peer Review Services to
provide technical review and a comprehensive range of integrated design
services for a variety of buildings. In addition, the City continued to implement
the Site Plan Review process that requires Planning Commission review and
approval of site plans, landscaping, lighting (except single family homes) for new
construction and major alterations.
Lack of property maintenance may exhibit a negative image of the City (Issue
8.2). The Code Enforcement Division continued monitoring and working with a
significant number of property owners, including residential properties,
commercial and industrial businesses, in an effort to keep these properties
maintained. In addition, the Housing Division regularly awards grant money to
conduct remodels which includes landscaping, roofing, painting, and new
windows.
Support the Keep Downey Beautiful programs (Program 8.2.2.3.). City staff,
business owners, and volunteers participated in the “Keep Downey Beautiful”
clean-ups that help improve community environments. The program focus is not
only to keep Downey beautiful but also to have a safe and clean environment. A
new social media campaign launched in 2020 remains active to reinforce pride in
the community and encourage everyone to “do their part”.
39
A strong community owes much to the spirit and involvement of its residents.
However, community pride and civic-mindedness are not enough for a city to provide
all necessary and desired services to maintain the local quality of life. A city needs a
variety of employment and shopping opportunities to create balance, make it a
desirable place to live, and enhance its image.
Develop economic strategies for business attraction and retention (Program
9.1.1.1.). Efforts were made in establishing place identification within the
downtown and other areas within the City by the installation of multiple art
installments throughout the city. The installments serve to contribute to the
city’s already attractive downtown area. The goal is that the investment in
improving and beatifying public spaces will indirectly attract patrons to nearby
commercial.
Continue the revitalization of commercial and industrial corridors (Program
9.1.1.5.). The City continued to revitalize commercial areas with the addition of
art in the form of murals and sculptures throughout the Downtown Areas as well
as at the Downey Theater. In 2023, a few commercial projects were also
approved by the Planning Commission for new construction which will revitalize
the areas in which they are being constructed with improved design, material,
and architectural styles.
¨ Promote through public information the benefits of businesses locating in
Downey (Program 9.1.1.7.). Staff continues to maintain and update the Economic
Development web pages to assist in the attraction and retention of quality
businesses. The pages contain information and materials for businesses coming
to the City and include information on the various business start-up steps and
even links to a site locator and opportunity sites. Additionally, the city has
included a business tool-kit, to further help businesses locate regional, state and
federal resources.
¨ Maintain the high level of standards for quality of staff and work produced
(Program 9.4.1.3.). Feedback is gathered from the public via the City designed
and implemented customer service check-in kiosk system. The system helps
better expedite service at the public counters. The system also allows the public
to provide comments and review of their experience inside City Hall. This allows
staff to provide, add, and build upon an effective and efficient service to
customers.
40
Expand the use of the city Internet web site for public information (Program
9.4.2.5.). City Departments continue to work toward improved customer service
by maintaining the on-line business license application process, which enables
customers to submit business license renewals or applications for a new license
and to allow Downey residents to pay their water bills on-line. In addition, the
City continues to update its website regularly and provide more information to
the public via the Internet. The Planning Department uses social media platforms
and the city website to inform the community of Planning Commission meetings,
community meetings, and to provide a space to obtain community input through
surveys and postings.
