due to the widespread COVID-19 global pandemic. With cases subsiding and the State of
PC AGENDA PAGE 1
Emergency being lifted, the Applicant is requesting to hold the temporary event in the same
manner as it operated in 2019.
The school campus occupies 42 acres and is located on the northeast corner of Brookshire
Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. The proposed temporary event will specifically encompass
the school's 2.57-acre parking lot located in the southwest corner of the site, enclosed by an
eight -foot tall wrought iron fence. The surrounding uses include single-family residential and
apartment buildings to the north, single-family residential and office buildings to the east, the
Downey Civic Center is to the west across Brookshire Avenue, and retail uses to the south
across Firestone Boulevard.
On January 11, 2023, Mary Laurer and Ismael Chavez submitted a Special Event Permit
application on behalf of Downey High School Football Booster Club, requesting the Planning
Commission's approval to conduct a four -day fundraising carnival in the parking lot of the
school.
On March 2, 2023, staff mailed notice of the requested Special Event Permit to all property owners
within 500 feet of the subject site and the notice was also published in the Downey Patriot.
DISCUSSION
As previously stated, the fundraising carnival was held in the past years, whereby concerns
regarding parking and trash has been raised by residents living on Marbel Avenue, east of the
subject site. In order to provide mitigation measures for this concern, the City has placed a
condition requiring a Downey Police Officer monitor and prevent non-residents from entering
and parking along Marbel Avenue. Staff has applied the same condition since 2017. The
proposed carnival hours will be as follows:
• Friday, May 26, 2023, 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
• Saturday, May 27, 2023, 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

• Monday, May 29, 2023, 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The parking lot where the event will be held is approximately 540 feet from residential properties
on the east (Marbel Avenue) and 1,216 feet from residential properties to the north (5th Street).
The set up for the event will occur no sooner than Wednesday, May 24, 2023, and restoration
and clean-up of the site including removal of carnival apparatus (rides and large equipment) will
occur on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, by no later than 12:00 p.m. A condition has been included
under the Conditions of Approval to ensure that sidewalks and adjacent public areas are also
cleaned up.
According to the submitted site layout for the temporary carnival event, the Ferris wheel will be
located at the southwest corner of the subject parking lot. A `Super Slide' along with other large
rides will be located closer to the south side of the parking lot, along Firestone Boulevard. The
children's area with smaller rides will be located just north of the large rides in the center of the
parking lot. Food booths will be located on the northern area of the parking lot adjacent to the
20' wide fire lane near school buildings. A fun house will be located east of the large and small
rides. Two (2) on -site ticket booths will be located at the southeast corner of the lot, along
Firestone Boulevard, and another ticket booth west of the large rides. A temporary tent will be
installed west of the ticket booth closer to Brookshire Avenue. The tent will contain an area for

attendees to sit/rest and hydrate. Portable restrooms and handwash stations will be located at

uses, as done in prior years.
