Oceanside Measure L was on the ballot as a referendum in Oceanside on November 3, 2020. It was defeated.
A "yes" vote supported adopting a city council ordinance to rezone 176.6 acres in northeastern Oceanside from Agricultural to Planned Development to allow for the North River Farms development project. |
A "no" vote opposed adopting a city council ordinance to rezone 176.6 acres in northeastern Oceanside to Planned Development to allow for the North River Farms development project, thereby blocking the North River Farms development project and leaving the land zoned for Agricultural, which allows crop-producing activities and limited residential development with minimum lot sizes of 2.5 acres so long as the residential use doesn't interfere with agricultural purposes. |
A simple majority was required for the approval of Measure L.
