Council approves five‑home development with accessory units to meet housing‑element goals
Summary
Council voted unanimously to approve a five‑lot single‑family development (with ADUs) proposed by Clarkdale Estate Homes; the site was previously identified in the city's housing element and the Planning Commission recommended approval (5–0).
The council adopted a resolution on June 12 approving a proposed residential development by Clarkdale Estate Homes that would create five single‑family residences on a vacant site zoned RS‑6500. Senior planner Jeremy Lowe said the site was identified in Cerritos' housing element as suitable for above‑moderate income housing and that the project includes accessory dwelling units intended to expand housing options.
The project was reviewed by the Planning Commission on May 8, which voted 5–0 to recommend approval after finding the proposal categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. Neighbors who commented supported the project as a way to meet housing goals and noted the ADUs and accessible design features could support multigenerational living.
Council members voted 5–0 to approve the project and directed staff to finalize the resolution and permit steps so construction can proceed.
