Appeal of Director Determination

The City of Downey is addressing an administrative appeal concerning a director’s determination that a proposed roof line at 9254 Clancey Avenue, Downey, California, fails to comply with the Downey Municipal Code and the Single Family Residential Design Guidelines. This matter is processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with the project deemed exempt from full environmental review because no significant physical environmental impacts are anticipated, as supported by the filing of a certified exemption finding and confirmation of a Notice of Exemption. The appeal is initiated by the applicant and reviewed by the City’s Planning and Research office, with Marissa Montero, Assistant Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for all communications and administrative inquiries. No federal contract clauses, procurement elements, or financial terms are applicable; the document is purely a local regulatory appeal mechanism governed by California state environmental statutes including Public Resources Code sections 21083, 21110, 21108, and 21152. The process does not involve bidding, award evaluation, contract types, pricing, invoicing, or federal acquisition regulations, and no government contracting officer, contracting representative, or socioeconomic certifications are involved. Submission is made through physical or mailed documentation to the City’s planning office, with no specified deadline or electronic portal, and the outcome will be a final decision affirming or reversing the director’s original ruling on architectural compliance.
