Summary
At the meeting the commission approved the May 8 minutes and took three substantive actions: adopted a resolution approving the AT&T wireless permit (PC2025‑8), found the FY2025–26 CIP in conformity with the General Plan, and voted to receive and file (no referral) on a proposed RS‑4000 zoning option; all motions passed 5‑0.
This Votes at a Glance summarizes formal actions taken by the Cerritos Planning Commission at the meeting.
Approved items
1) Approval of minutes — Motion by Commissioner Au, second by Commissioner Chauhan. Vote: 5‑0. The commission approved the May 8, 2025 special meeting minutes after staff corrected an error in the minutes noted by a commissioner and republished the unofficial minutes on the city website.
2) Wireless Telecommunication Permit 2025‑1 — Adopted Resolution PC2025‑8 approving the installation of a new AT&T wireless facility on an existing SCE transmission tower. Motion by Commissioner Jabari; second by Commissioner Au. Vote: 5‑0. Staff determined the project categorically exempt from CEQA and imposed a project‑specific condition on the equipment‑enclosure exterior materials.
3) Capital Improvement Program (FY2025–26) — Motion by Vice Chair Reyes; second by Commissioner Gaveri to find the proposed CIP in conformity with the Cerritos General Plan. Vote: 5‑0. Staff presented a CIP budget figure of approximately $23,000,000 and reviewed projects across facilities, parks, streets, sewer and water.
4) RS‑4000 zoning referral request — Motion by Commissioner Al, second by Vice Chair Reyes to receive and file the staff report and take no further action (do not refer to City Council). Vote: 5‑0. Staff advised that creating a new zone in a built‑out city would require extensive CEQA and code work and could risk spot‑zoning concerns; staff cited an example CEQA cost on the order of $100,000 for a comparable rezoning analysis.
Other procedural notes
- Several items were informational (for example, Chick‑fil‑A minor precise plan) and were referred to staff for administrative processing; signage will require separate permits where noted. - Electronic voting encountered technical issues in two items; the commission completed both votes with verbal roll‑call voting.
