Demolition of the two-story former Sears

The City of Cerritos is overseeing the development of a new two-story Dick's House of Sport and associated outdoor athletic fields on a 4.65-acre site located at 100 Los Cerritos Mall in Cerritos, California. This project follows the demolition of a former two-story Sears building, which was previously addressed in a notice of exemption filed on February 10, 2026. The construction project is categorized as an in-fill development with minimal environmental impact and is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. Comprehensive site improvements for the project include deep soil mixing, earthwork, certified pad preparation, and underground utility upgrades. Additionally, the scope involves landscaping, the creation of enhanced pedestrian connections, and adjustments to the interior ring road to support the new facility and its related athletic activities. The project is managed by the City of Cerritos Department of Community Development, with primary coordination involving Planning Manager Amanda Acuna and Vice President Andy Greenwood.
