OCEANSIDE
Oceanside is tightening its regulation of the Brother Benno’s Foundation, a nonprofit that helps low-income families and the homeless at its center in a business park near the city airport, after neighbors complained about loitering, littering and vandalism.
The city Planning Commission approved new conditions Monday that include the creation of an improved ID card system so that the organization can better track its clients. Brother Benno’s also agreed to stop providing its mailing address for homeless people who repeatedly decline to use the services available to get them off the street.
The commission also initially considered a one-year limit on the mailing address for all clients. That condition was scaled back in response to widespread opposition.
