A proposal to convert a former supermarket building into a new religious facility was approved Thursday night by the Garden Grove Planning Commission.

On a 5-0 vote, the commission said “yes” to FreedomHouse OC to take the 46,287-square foot building at Katella Avenue and Euclid Street formerly used as a Food Giant and a Walmart Neighborhood Mart for a church sanctuary, an accredited bible college and a child day care center.

Also approved was a proposed 15-unit multiple-family project on a 0.88-acre site on the east side of Newhope Street north of Garden Grove Boulevard.

The development would consist of three-story detached homes sold as condominiums.

  1. That building could have been divided into units/rooms for three person’s each…or a better plan for people….to house and help the humans without home …to survive and then to thrive. The large majority if homeless are Not druggees. 900people died last year in LA County alone. We saw death here in the Garden Grove area. They were elderly who couldn’t survive any longer.
