Oceanside is considering a series of zoning amendments intended to streamline the creation of emergency shelters and low-income housing in the city.
Shelters on city-owned properties in commercial, industrial, and public or semi-public zones would not need to obtain a conditional use permit or other discretionary approvals under the amendments.
“The city is creating more flexibility and opportunities for these facilities . and streamlining review and contracting,” said Shannon Vitale, a city associate planner, at Monday’s Oceanside Planning Commission meeting.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. The proposed changes go to the City Council for a decision June 16.

In what’s being called the first of its kind for coastal North County, a proposed Oceanside apartment complex could provide permanent homes and services for dozens of homeless people with mental health issues, youths transitioning out of foster care and veterans facing homelessness.
National Community Renaissance and San Diego Community Housing Foundation are proposing to build the 60-unit Greenbrier Village Apartments on a .71-acre vacant lot on the west side of Greenbrier Drive between Apple Street and Oceanside Boulevard just east of Interstate 5.
The Oceanside Housing Commission supported the project June 1 and unanimously agreed to recommend it to the City Council, where it is headed June 16.
