LongHorn Steakhouse project

The UGM Development representative explained the need for a separate parcel to secure construction financing and described the coordinated Macy's facade and landscaping work his team is funding.

Speaking for LongHorn, she explained the in-lieu art fee choice, said hiring tends to be local, and confirmed the applicant agrees to all conditions of approval.

A Cerritos resident argued the project should be treated as three separate projects, questioned parcel ownership and presentation labeling, and worried the 10 p.m. closing won't serve post-CCPA crowds.
