There are two key hearings the week of June 9 that will influence the nature of South O for years to come. Both take place at the council chambers, the 2nd floor of City Hall (300 North Coast Hwy Oceanside, CA 92054).
Coast Highway: June 10 (6pm)
Rescheduled from May 20, the Planning Commission will consider both the road diet (cutting 4 lanes to 2) and development incentives (density and height increases). South O has repeatedly asked to stop these at Oceanside Blvd., but city staffers are recommending imposing these citywide. We need a big turnout from South O to explain to the PC how this plan would adversely impact South O.
This is scheduled to be voted on by the Council on August 14 at 2pm, but (like everything else) is subject to change.
Short Term Rentals: June 12 (2pm)
The City Council will consider its first-ever regulations controlling (and officially allowing) short-term rentals in Oceanside. While the original proposal had some weaknesses, the Planning Commission proposed a stronger ordinance that would limit STRs outside downtown and the R-T (residential tourist) zone. It is not clear what the council will approve.
