Every Phase 1 project type for Cerritos, in one place.
Permit office: Cerritos Community Development — Building & Safety.
Plan-check timeline: 5–8 weeks typical residential; HOA review common in master-planned communities.
Distinctive overlays: Master-planned city with extensive HOA / CC&R private design review on top of city permits, Cerritos Auto Square commercial corridor, very-low-density single-family in residential pockets.
Fee load: ~4–6% of valuation.
HOA / CC&R review is the dominant friction (4–8 weeks before city permit can even start).
ADU rights still apply per state law — HOAs cannot block compliant ADUs.
