Split vote upholds appeal of project panned by residents and community as 'hideous,' too large for neighborhood
A proposal to build a six-story, 146-unit apartment building previously denied by the Oceanside Planning Commission got the go-ahead this week on an appeal to a divided Oceanside City Council.
Sanchez said the project was poorly designed, which can lead to crime and public health issues, and that it needed further environmental studies. Wednesday was the last time on the dais for Rodriguez and Jensen, who both left the meeting early after the Breeze vote. “Oceanside lacks smaller square-footage dwellings,” he said. “We desperately need more housing like this in the city of Oceanside.”
New evidence that Jensen may have falsified her application for the council appointment emerged at the tail end of Wednesday’s meeting. Her former boyfriend Andre Blaine stepped to the speaker’s podium and told the council he lived with her in her Carlsbad condominium when she was appointed and sworn in as an Oceanside council member. As a Carlsbad resident, she would have been ineligible for the job.
