There goes the Oceanside beach
Lynn who? I still have no idea who you are. Anonymous trolls simply don't have the credibility that others who "put their name on it. "The Coast News is famous for rewriting press releases and general reports what they are told to report. God bless them. That is their niche. The Coast News article would have never appeared had we not broken this. And you can be sure the UT will be following up as well. We first reported on this in December 2019 as you can see here in the comments. For this article I reached out to the city attorney and the city planner mostly responsible for this and they chose not to respond. I am glad the Coast News presented a view that you are more happy with. As I noted, the state Coastal Commission referred to my article at their Wednesday meeting. If you think everything is OK with this, and that you can pop out your beach front property, I would say good luck to you going forward.

The 2019 caption mistake was corrected. You're going to have to try create something else that is "shameful."

There goes the Oceanside beach
Regarding the 2019 date in photo caption....The middle photo in this new article was taken from a December 2019 article. Please see for yourself......
https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2019/dec/10/s…
. That article mistakenly dated it as 2019. Obviously both older photos used in that article are from 2013. We will fix error immediately.

There goes the Oceanside beach
Sorry you think this was an Irresponsible hit piece whoever you are. Did you know that they talked about my article at this morning's California Coastal Commission meeting. Executive director Jack Ainsworth said he was "very disappointed" that Oceanside ignored the stop-work order. If you ever get around to not being anonymous and put your name on it, I'd like to talk to you.

There goes the Oceanside beach
Please know that there are two parts to this. One is the jetties/groins. The other is the private homeowners expanding their beach without a permit. I think the groins/jetties issue is open for discussion. I think the riprap issue is a whole different kettle of fish.

There goes the Oceanside beach
Dear rplm. Who are you? Why are you afraid to identify yourself? Next question: what was was wrong or misleading about the article? This is in fact a juicy topic because people are expanding their private beach without a permit. Please be a stand-up man (or woman) and tell us who you are.

There goes the Oceanside beach
This article was brought by Laura Walsh of the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County at this morning's Coastal Commission meeting. Executive Director Jack Ainsworth said he, that he was "very disappointed" that the city of Oceanside did not follow the stop notice, that a CDP was "clearly required" and that the intent of the dispute resolution is to bring some sort of decision back to the Commission. The video of her comments and response should be available later today at.

There goes the Oceanside beach
After I submitted this article I heard from Diana Lilly, the San Diego-based Coastal Program Manager for the Coastal Commission. This is what she sent to Russ Cunningham, who seems to be calling the shots for the City of Oceanside. Hello Russ, As you know from numerous past discussions and correspondence, Commission staff disagree with the City’s position that the City’s LCP allows the importation of new rock or sand to be exempted from Coastal Development Permit requirements. We understand that the City has exempted work on the revetment located at 1200-1213 S Pacific Street which includes importation of new rock and sand replenishment, and that the work is currently underway. This is notify you that the Executive Director is invoking the Dispute Resolution for Local Permit Processing Procedures per the Section 13569 of the California Code of Regulations (see attached) to review the City’s determination that the project is exempt. Please send us a copy of the application or request for work, and a copy of the City’s exemption determination. I would also appreciate it if you would provide us with an email or contact number for the project applicant, so we can inform them that Commission staff is reviewing the City’s action. No further work should occur until the dispute is resolved. We would like to work with you to resolve this issue in a timely manner, and we will review all project material as quickly as feasible. Please let me know if you have any questions. Diana Lilly Coastal Program Manager

Sanchez recall committee in Oceanside misses deadlines
Victor Roy paid his $798 outstanding debt to the city on March 4. When he did, he submitted a letter that claimed that the county and the Registrar of Voters (ROV) "...is operating an accounting and cost recovery program illegally," and that he was a victim of victim of discrimination. I have asked the interim Registrar Cynthia Paes if she had any thoughts about this. I also asked Oceanside's mayor, city manager and city attorney if they had any thoughts about the city treasurer claiming the county was operating illegally. From what I can tell, no one has ever accused the ROV of operating an illegal operation. Also, please note every other Oceanside candidate paid the extra amount they owed. Also, Roy was told he would get his $1200 pre-payment refunded and not be charged the extra amount to be determined ($798 in his case) since he was the only one running for his position. I have also asked through public record request if he paid the fee from his reelection campaign fund which he claimed in January still had $3442. If he did not use that account, I think we would have new questions. Does that account even exist?

Oceanside councilwoman doesn't live at 815 North Pacific Street
SashaBooboo...don't know what you mean about "impressions." The city itself says 815 North Pacific Street is a "no host short term vacation rental." Do you know what that means SashaBooboo? Also, Jensen herself said her Carlsbad condo is "owner-occupied" and that 815 North Pacific is not. The neighbor I spoke with told me she doesn't live there and then today I read that another neighbor, Pamela Meyers, says that house is exclusively a vacation rental. Oh, and SashaBooboo, did you see the airbnb ad Ms. Jensen placed to rent out her place? Thanks for reading SashaBooboo. You sound like a real stand-up person.

There goes the Oceanside beach
Lynn who? I still have no idea who you are. Anonymous trolls simply don't have the credibility that others who "put their name on it. "The Coast News is famous for rewriting press releases and general reports what they are told to report. God bless them. That is their niche. The Coast News article would have never appeared had we not broken this. And you can be sure the UT will be following up as well. We first reported on this in December 2019 as you can see here in the comments. For this article I reached out to the city attorney and the city planner mostly responsible for this and they chose not to respond. I am glad the Coast News presented a view that you are more happy with. As I noted, the state Coastal Commission referred to my article at their Wednesday meeting. If you think everything is OK with this, and that you can pop out your beach front property, I would say good luck to you going forward.— March 11, 2021 6:20 p.m.

The 2019 caption mistake was corrected. You're going to have to try create something else that is "shameful."— March 11, 2021 12:46 p.m.

Regarding the 2019 date in photo caption....The middle photo in this new article was taken from a December 2019 article. Please see for yourself...... https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2019/dec/10/s…. That article mistakenly dated it as 2019. Obviously both older photos used in that article are from 2013. We will fix error immediately.— March 11, 2021 7:08 a.m.

Sorry you think this was an Irresponsible hit piece whoever you are. Did you know that they talked about my article at this morning's California Coastal Commission meeting. Executive director Jack Ainsworth said he was "very disappointed" that Oceanside ignored the stop-work order. If you ever get around to not being anonymous and put your name on it, I'd like to talk to you.— March 10, 2021 8:30 p.m.

Please know that there are two parts to this. One is the jetties/groins. The other is the private homeowners expanding their beach without a permit. I think the groins/jetties issue is open for discussion. I think the riprap issue is a whole different kettle of fish.— March 10, 2021 7:20 p.m.

Dear rplm. Who are you? Why are you afraid to identify yourself? Next question: what was was wrong or misleading about the article? This is in fact a juicy topic because people are expanding their private beach without a permit. Please be a stand-up man (or woman) and tell us who you are.— March 10, 2021 7:13 p.m.

This article was brought by Laura Walsh of the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County at this morning's Coastal Commission meeting. Executive Director Jack Ainsworth said he, that he was "very disappointed" that the city of Oceanside did not follow the stop notice, that a CDP was "clearly required" and that the intent of the dispute resolution is to bring some sort of decision back to the Commission. The video of her comments and response should be available later today at. https://cal-span.org/static/meetings-CCC.php— March 10, 2021 11:16 a.m.

After I submitted this article I heard from Diana Lilly, the San Diego-based Coastal Program Manager for the Coastal Commission. This is what she sent to Russ Cunningham, who seems to be calling the shots for the City of Oceanside. Hello Russ, As you know from numerous past discussions and correspondence, Commission staff disagree with the City’s position that the City’s LCP allows the importation of new rock or sand to be exempted from Coastal Development Permit requirements. We understand that the City has exempted work on the revetment located at 1200-1213 S Pacific Street which includes importation of new rock and sand replenishment, and that the work is currently underway. This is notify you that the Executive Director is invoking the Dispute Resolution for Local Permit Processing Procedures per the Section 13569 of the California Code of Regulations (see attached) to review the City’s determination that the project is exempt. Please send us a copy of the application or request for work, and a copy of the City’s exemption determination. I would also appreciate it if you would provide us with an email or contact number for the project applicant, so we can inform them that Commission staff is reviewing the City’s action. No further work should occur until the dispute is resolved. We would like to work with you to resolve this issue in a timely manner, and we will review all project material as quickly as feasible. Please let me know if you have any questions. Diana Lilly Coastal Program Manager— March 9, 2021 3:42 p.m.
Sanchez recall committee in Oceanside misses deadlines
Victor Roy paid his $798 outstanding debt to the city on March 4. When he did, he submitted a letter that claimed that the county and the Registrar of Voters (ROV) "...is operating an accounting and cost recovery program illegally," and that he was a victim of victim of discrimination. I have asked the interim Registrar Cynthia Paes if she had any thoughts about this. I also asked Oceanside's mayor, city manager and city attorney if they had any thoughts about the city treasurer claiming the county was operating illegally. From what I can tell, no one has ever accused the ROV of operating an illegal operation. Also, please note every other Oceanside candidate paid the extra amount they owed. Also, Roy was told he would get his $1200 pre-payment refunded and not be charged the extra amount to be determined ($798 in his case) since he was the only one running for his position. I have also asked through public record request if he paid the fee from his reelection campaign fund which he claimed in January still had $3442. If he did not use that account, I think we would have new questions. Does that account even exist?— March 4, 2021 5:23 p.m.
Oceanside councilwoman doesn't live at 815 North Pacific Street
SashaBooboo...don't know what you mean about "impressions." The city itself says 815 North Pacific Street is a "no host short term vacation rental." Do you know what that means SashaBooboo? Also, Jensen herself said her Carlsbad condo is "owner-occupied" and that 815 North Pacific is not. The neighbor I spoke with told me she doesn't live there and then today I read that another neighbor, Pamela Meyers, says that house is exclusively a vacation rental. Oh, and SashaBooboo, did you see the airbnb ad Ms. Jensen placed to rent out her place? Thanks for reading SashaBooboo. You sound like a real stand-up person.— February 2, 2021 8:57 p.m.
