Planning Commission Meeting: August 5, 2026

The City of Cerritos Planning Commission held a regular meeting on August 5, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on several development and infrastructure projects. The commission reviewed and recommended approval of a tentative parcel map and precise plan for a new standalone Longhorn Steakhouse restaurant at the Los Cerritos Center, including associated site improvements and facade enhancements to the Macy's building. The applicant, UGM Development LLC, explained the need for parcel subdivision to facilitate construction financing and property management. The commission also recommended approval of a wireless telecommunication permit for a new monopine facility to replace an existing tower, enhancing wireless coverage in the area. Additionally, the commission considered a development map amendment and conditional use permit for a new industrial-commercial zoning and automotive service facility to support Lexus of Cerritos, aiming to increase operational capacity and sales tax revenue. Motions for all these items were passed unanimously, forwarding recommendations to the City Council. The meeting also included discussions on landscaping, traffic impact, environmental compliance, and community benefits related to these projects. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were made during the meeting, but the approvals set the stage for future procurement and construction activities.
