A proposal for the Oceanside City Council to broaden the grounds for appeals of Planning Commission decisions has some commissioners annoyed. “It’s another knock on the Planning Commission,” said Commissioner Tom Rosales, a former chair of the group and member for 14 years. “There’s not a level of confidence that the Planning Commission got it right. I guess the entire thing just kind of annoys me.”Asked for a recommendation on the proposal, the commission voted 6-1 Monday to take no action.

A developer is proposing to build 36 single-family homes on a 4-acre vacant parcel at the northeast corner of Interstate 5 and state Route 78, just west of a Walmart-anchored shopping center. Six of the homes would be set aside as affordable housing, which under state law allows more homes on the site than otherwise permitted by local zoning. The state density bonus law also allows the houses to be built closer to the street and cover a larger percentage of each lot.
