LARMAC does not permit large-scale events

community parks, which is why I am unable to offer you a permit for your event. Given that this is a neighborhood park, we limit the number of large-scale events that are held at Founders out of respect for the neighbors,” reads a June 17 email from LARMAC General Manager Ken Gibson.

Requests for comment to Gibson and the offices of LARMAC went unreturned as of Tuesday morning.

In another email to organizers, a LARMAC employee wrote:

“If your event goes forward with more than that authorized number of guests, you as the ‘host’ will be responsible for holding an unauthorized event. This could include reimbursement to the HOA for any clean up required by LARMAC and any damage to the park, along with possible fines.”

Sabin, in a Monday interview with Voice of OC, said it’s unfair to limit the Pride event, while other large events over the last year went unrestricted.

It’s “a huge park. I’m not sure how they expect me to keep count of everyone moving into and out of the park,” Sabin said.

“No one stopped the big pro-Trump events” at Ladera’s parks over the last year, which spread all throughout those public spaces, said Shannon Lenke, a Ladera Ranch resident and mother of seven, in another interview.

Lenke’s gender nonbinary child was among a couple of kids who stood on the street earlier this month, on the afternoon of June 9, with LGBGTQ+ support signs, she said.

Lenke said a dog walker voiced disapproval of their message.

That’s when Lenke said Sabin and other parents decided to plan a local town Pride event, in support of their kids.
