Some projects such as new buildings, signs, wireless telecom towers, sensitive uses (like bars or clubs), or projects located in Planned Development Areas must go through a review process to receive a planning "entitlement" or planning permit before receiving a permit to build or operate. Planning entitlements are not building permits, but they are often required before a project is eligible for building permits. These types of approvals are discretionary actions.

Examples of planning entitlements include: Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Administrative Use Permit (AUP), Site Plan Review (SPR), Local Coastal Development Permit (LCDP), Sign Program, SPR for Wireless Telecom, etc. These projects may also need additional forms. To understand which forms and permits you need for your project, chat with a planner by contacting the Planning & Zoning hotline at 562.570.6194. You can learn more about the planning review process on our Entitlement Process Page.

The state requires that cities review all projects for environmental impact under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects (such as major developments or those with potential significant environmental impacts) may require environmental studies, while some projects (such as minor alterations to existing buildings or small infill projects) may qualify for a listed exemption. Staff will review and determine the appropriate level of environmental review.

The Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) reviews all projects at Historic Landmarks sites and in Historic Districts. The CHC reviews all changes to a property's exterior. CHC also reviews interior changes at certain landmarks with designated interior features. You can read more about requirements on our Historic Preservation page.
