The school site comprises approximately 26 acres of land. The property is developed with
classroom buildings, administrative offices, sports fields, a swimming pool facility, tennis courts,

courts). The southernmost parking lot along Paramount Boulevard is the primary parking lot of
the school and it will be the site of the proposed carnival activities.
The Warren High School property has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use (MU)
and is zoned R-1 5,000 (Single-Family Residential). The surrounding properties are described

On September 4, 2018, the application was deemed complete; and on September 6, 2018, a
notice of the pending public hearing was sent to all Downey property owners within 500 feet of
the subject site and the notice was published in the Downey Patriot.
DISCUSSION/ ANALYSIS
The Special Event Permit is to allow a carnival as a fundraiser for school programs and athletics
at Warren High School. The applicant has indicated that they expect approximately 500 persons
on Friday and Saturday, with slightly less on Sunday. Activities at the carnival include food, game
booths, two (2) fun houses, large mechanical carnival rides, kiddie’s rides, and school booths
where student organizations will sponsor food booths and games.
The carnival will take place in the southerly parking lot of Warren High School, which borders
Paramount Boulevard. The hours proposed for the carnival will be as follows:
Friday, September 21, 2018, 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Saturday September 22, 2018, 1:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 23, 2018, 1:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Warren High School’s parking lots will be available to carnival guests and participants. The
Applicant estimates that 500 parking spaces are available on the subject site as follows:
100 spaces in the parking lot north of the tennis courts;
350 parking spaces (10 ADA accessible) in the rear school parking lot adjacent to Gurley
Avenue; and
50 spaces adjacent to Warren High School in the center of the site and 15 ADA
accessible parking spaces adjacent to the school’s administrative offices along De
Palma Street.
Twenty-foot wide fire truck access lanes at the center and along the perimeter of the carnival
area will be provided. The fire lanes will be accessible from two gates along the Paramount
Boulevard street frontage and from De Palma Street.

September 19, 2018 - Page 3
Since the parking area will not be completed cleared of the carnival rides and equipment by
Monday morning, the Applicant has indicated that the parking is available by the football field
and off of Gurley Avenue and Manatee Street.
The carnival will be set up in the southwesterly (Paramount Boulevard) parking lot,
approximately 100 feet from the residential properties to the west and about 225 feet from the
residential properties to the south. The Applicant proposes to locate a generator near the center
of the carnival area, and adjacent to the large rides. The only amplified noise proposed will
occur in association with the carnival rides. Set-up activities will begin Thursday, September 20,
2018 no earlier than 4:00 p.m. Clean-up activities will cease at 12:00 a.m. on Monday,
September 24, 2018, and resume the following morning no earlier than 6:00 a.m. so that all
carnival equipment is removed by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, September 24, 2018.
Similar to last year’s event, the Police Department is again requiring that Warren High School
provide four (4) licensed and bonded security guards for the carnival, with two (2) Warren High
School security guards patrolling the parking lots and school campus. In addition, two (2)
Downey Police Department Officers will be on-site during peak carnival hours on Friday and
Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The nearest residential properties are located across Paramount Boulevard, approximately 100-
feet from the carnival area. While noise is typically associated with carnivals, the hours of
operation are such that they don’t go beyond 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, or 10:00 p.m.
on Sunday, which staff has recommended as conditions of approval. In addition, staff has
included a condition of approval that requires that clean-up activities cease by midnight on
Sunday, and resume the following morning on Monday, so as to reduce the possible negative
noise impacts during the early morning hours.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE
On September 6, 2018, the Development Review Committee (DRC) discussed and evaluated
the aspects of the Special Event Permit that pertain to Planning, Police, Fire, Public Works, and
Building and Safety matters. The Police Department provided their conditions of approval that
include two (2) Downey Police Department Officers (during peak carnival hours) and six (6)
security guards on site during the duration of the event. The Fire Department and Building and
Safety Division stated that permits are required for the inflatable houses, mechanical rides, and
any outdoor generators. Said concerns have been addressed with specific conditions of
approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed use for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, staff determined that this request is categorically
exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15304 (Class 4, Minor Alterations to
Land). Categorical Exemptions are projects, which have been determined not to have a
significant effect on the environment and have been exempted from the requirements of CEQA.
Class 4 exemptions include temporary uses, such as a carnival, that will have no permanent
effect on the environment.

FINDINGS
Pursuant to the requirements of the Municipal Code, the following findings shall be made in
order for the Planning Commission to approve the request.
1.That the proposed activity or use will be consistent with the objectives, policies,
and general land uses and programs specified in the City’s General Plan.
The City of Downey General Plan Program No. 1.1.5.3 states, the City shall “promote
recreation and entertainment uses that serve needs of the public.” Inasmuch as the
proposed carnival is a fundraising event for Warren High School athletics and programs,
is open to the public, and includes games and rides for attendees to enjoy, the proposed
special event is consistent with the aforementioned General Plan program.
2.That the proposed activity or use is consistent with other provisions of Article IX
(Zoning Ordinance) of the Downey Municipal Code.
The location of the proposed carnival is the southernmost parking lot along Paramount
Boulevard at Warren High School. The subject property is located within the R-1 5,000
(Single-Family Residential) zone, where special events such as outdoor carnivals are
permitted, subject to the criteria found in Section 9420 of the Downey Municipal Code.
The three-day outdoor carnival will not impinge on the surrounding properties since the
special event is not a permanent alteration to the site. The parking needs for Warren
High School will not be impacted by the proposed event, because the carnival will take
place on a Friday evening and on the weekend, when school is not in session.
3.That the proposed activity or use will not result in conditions or circumstances
contrary to the public health, safety, and general welfare.
The special event proposed will not result in conditions contrary to the public health,
safety and general welfare given that it is a temporary three-day outdoor event.
Nevertheless, staff is recommending several conditions of approval to ensure the event
does not impact surrounding sites.
CORRESPONDENCE
As of the date that this report was printed, staff has not received any correspondence regarding
this matter.
CONCLUSION
As the carnival has been a successful fundraiser and an anticipated event by the community for
several years, Staff supports the proposed carnival (as conditioned) and recommends that the
Planning Commission approve Special Event Permit application (PLN-18-00136), subject to the
conditions of approval as stated in the Planning Commission Resolution.
