<br />that provides a net community benefit and contributes to
<br />neighborhood character as the church offers a variety of
<br />programs to the community. These programs include tutoring,
<br />mentorship for new mothers, after-school programs, spiritual
<br />support to Orange County Men’s Central Jail, and would host
<br />seasonal events available to residents which not only benefit
<br />the immediate community but also Santa Ana as a whole. In
<br />offering such programs, the church is also creating spaces of
<br />gathering, which supports Policy LU – 2.3.
