GARDEN GROVE Planning Commission will meet next week (Shutterstock).

Garden Grove – like many suburban cities – appears to continue to grow taller and taller with more medium and high-density uses.

At its Oct. 17 meeting, the city planning commission will hold a public hearing on a proposal for approval of a site plan and tentative parcel map to build a 76-unit four-story residential apartment building.

The location is 12681 Haster St. between Lampson Avenue and Garden Grove Boulevard. That’s the site of Garden Park Care Center, built in 1962. It’s a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.

To the west of the site is the Haster Basin Recreation Area, formerly known as Twin Lakes Park.

The proposal is to split the lot into two parcels, keeping the care center on 2.2 acres, with 1.6 acres for the apartment complex.

Under the proposal, the development would include eight affordable housing units for “very low income” households.

The commission will meet in the Community Meeting Center, 11300 Stanford Ave.
