New apt. complex on agenda

A public hearing on a proposal to build a five-unit apartment complex goes before the Garden Grove Planning Commission when it meets on Thursday.

The panel will consider a request from Toby Nguyen for a site plan and a lot line adjustment to allow for the construction of the project at the northwest corner of Yockey Street and Dakota Avenue. That’s northeast of Newland Street and Trask Avenue.

Also on the agenda is a continued public hearing for the expansion of an existing shopping center at the northwest corner of Westminster Avenue and Brookhurst Street.  Sunbelt Stores, Inc., is proposing to increase the 180,449-square foot center  –  currently anchored by a Target department store and the Garden Grove Superstore – by building four new buildings.

According to the proposal, the existing Firestone auto repair shop would be demolished and replaced by a 5,600-square foot drive-through multi-tenant building.

The commission will meet in the Community Meeting Center, 11300 Stanford Avenue at 7 p.m.
