Planning Commission Meeting - Sep 2, 2026
A new massage business wants to take over the old Lemon Tree Spa space in the 183rd Street shopping center. The commission signed off on recommending it, with conditions to fix the old sign damage and keep front windows visible from the street. Cerritos currently has about five standalone massage establishments, spread across different shopping centers, with no cap on how many the city allows.
