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.
