No person, firm, or corporation shall move, or cause to be moved, any building or structure, or any section of any building or structure, over, upon, along or across any public street, place or alley, into the city, or from one location to another in the city, without first obtaining a relocation permit from the director of community development and a moving permit from the Los Angeles County road commissioner in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 15.40. (Ord. 770 § 1 (part), 1996; Ord. 388 § 1 (part), 1972)
28.70.100 Applications.
Applications for relocation permits shall be filed with the director of community development and shall contain the following:
(1) A statement signed by the owner of the premises upon which the relocated structure is proposed to be placed stating his full name and address, the type of building or structure, the present and proposed location, and the fair value and approximate age of the building or structure to be moved;
(2) A certificate from a licensed structural pest control contractor stating the condition of the property as to decay and pest infestation;
(3) A plan showing the proposed location of the building or structure upon the property to which the building or structure is to be moved, renderings of any proposed alterations to the exterior of the building or structure and colored photographs of all sides of such building or structure;
(4) A nonrefundable filing fee in the amount of one hundred dollars which the approving authority may waive or reduce for public agencies;
(5) A faithful performance bond, executed by a responsible surety company authorized to do business in the state of California in an amount as recommended by the city building department as being necessary to bring such structure up to existing building codes and to the standards of the residences in the immediate area of the proposed new location; and that all the work required to be done pursuant to the conditions of the house-moving permit be completed within the time limit specified by the building department. If the work is not completed within the time permitted, then the bond shall be forfeited and the proceeds used to pay the costs of demolishing the structure and clearing the property.

28.70.200 Compliance with city ordinances and the Cerritos building code.
The permit or permits herein authorized shall be in addition to all permits required under any other ordinance of the city, and all such relocated buildings or structures shall be subject to the inspection of the city building inspector and must conform to all ordinances of this city and the requirements of the building code and other codes or ordinances relating to building construction and necessary installation incident thereto. In addition, no building or structure shall be relocated to a location within this city unless the building or structure complies with all zoning and other ordinances which apply to the property. (Ord. 388 § 1 (part), 1972)
28.70.300 Review and approval by planning commission.
No relocation permit shall be issued until the same has been approved by the planning commission or, if the authority has been so delegated, the director of community development, after a public hearing noticed at least to property owners and residents adjacent to the proposed location of the building or structure to be relocated. No such approval shall be given if the structure or building to be relocated is found by the building inspector to be dilapidated, decayed, pest-infested, or in such a state of disrepair as to be unsanitary or otherwise unfit for human habitation, occupancy, or use, or if, by reason of its external appearance, the planning commission determines that it would not be compatible with the residential character of the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be located.
