The Southern California Resource Services for Independent Living is a nonprofit Independent
Living Center providing resources and services enabling people with disabilities to live

opened in Downey in 1979, with a goal of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
Through the years, this organization has expanded independent living services to include most
Agenda Page 1
of East Los Angeles County and added employment services throughout Southern California.
The office is located at 7850 Quill Drive, directly adjacent to the Barbara J. Riley Center and
Apollo Park. To the west of the site lies Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center. The
remainder of the surrounding land uses are single - family residential.
On July 1, 2016, the Applicant submitted a Land Use Permit Application (PLN -16- 00177) to
request approval to hold the First Annual Disability Pride Parade on Sunday, October 9, 2016.
The application was deemed complete on Monday, August 15, 2016. The notice of the pending
public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500
feet of the subject site on August 25, 2016.
DISCUSSION
According to the Applicant, the goal of hosting the First Annual Disability Pride Parade and
Festival is to promote awareness of both visible and invisible disabilities and to establish a
sense of community among those with disabilities and those who are not disabled.
The parking lot to the south of the Barbara J. Riley Center will be used to host a festival,
inclusive of an In -N -Out food truck; one (1) show mobile; an amplified sound system for
speeches, music and entertainment; a confetti machine; a cooling station; and 100 folding
chairs for seating during opening speeches. During the above - described festival, a
parade /march is set to begin in the south parking lot of the Barbara J. Riley Center. The
parade /march route will continue north on Rives Avenue, head west on Quill Drive, make a U-
turn to head east on Quill Drive once participants have reached Old River School Road, and
end in the same location where the parade began. According to the Applicant, bull- horns, a PA
system, loud drumming and chanting are to be expected during the march. Parade organizers
estimate a minimum of 300 guests are anticipated to be in attendance and will consist of
celebrities/VIPs, as well as City, State, and Federal dignitaries.
The schedule of events is proposed as follows
11:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. — Opening speeches
11:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. — March
12:30 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. — Food and Vendor Fair (Vendor Fair to be held within the main
auditorium of the Senior Center)
Parkins
According to the Applicant, parking for the event will be made available in the parking lots to the
south of Imperial Highway, adjacent to the Bank of America and Credit Union. Participants will
be able to safely cross Imperial Highway at the crosswalk located at Smallwood Avenue.
Street Closures
Street closures, requested for this event, include Rives Avenue, north of Imperial Highway to
Quill Drive, and Quill Drive, between Old River School Road and Rives Avenue between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. This request will be heard and decided upon by the City
Council on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. The Applicant has notified the residents along Quill
Drive of the requested street closures and has gathered signatures from the residents who
support the event. This is included as `Exhibit C' in this report. The Applicant is also providing
off - street parking at the parking structure at Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center for residents
Agen.da..P.age 2
along Quill Drive; they will be providing transportation to and from the parking structure for those
who need access to their vehicles during the event.
Development Review Committee
This proposal was reviewed by the Development Review Committee on July 14, 2016. The
Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments raised issues regarding public safety from vehicular
traffic, emergency access, vehicle relocation for the residents on Quill Drive, and street
closures, respectively. The Conditions of Approval associated with this project sufficiently
address all concerns.

Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, staff determined that this request is categorically
exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15304(e), Class 4 (Minor Alterations to
Land). Categorical Exemptions are projects, which have been determined not to have a
significant effect on the environment and are exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
FINDINGS
Pursuant with Section 9814.08 of the Municipal Code, approval of the application, as described
in the report above, shall require the following findings. Based on the evidence submitted in the
application, PLN -16 -00177 meets the following findings:

general land uses and programs specified in the City's General Plan; in that the special
