Plans to build 26 single-family homes, including two with “accessory dwelling units” often called “granny flats” on seven acres near Lincoln Middle School have been approved despite objections from many of the nearby residents.
Safety near the project’s entrance on Grandview Street, a narrow road with curves and no sidewalks, was the biggest concern of most people, though some said the high-density development would not fit in with the larger lots nearby in the older Fire Mountain neighborhood.
“This is the wrong project at the wrong location,” said resident Janet Bledsoe Lacy, an attorney and former Oceanside Unified School District board member. “We are imploring the city to reject this project, which is so incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood and will have a devastating impact on the city of Oceanside as a whole.”
