Here are the top five stories today in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton:
- The Oceanside Planning Commission approved a plan to re-zone 25.6 acres of land on North River Road from light industrial to medium-density residential. The land was converted to make way for up to 400 future homes in a yet-to-be-determined housing development. The Tierra Norte project is located on the south side of North River Road between Avenida Descanso and Calle Montecito in the North Valley Neighborhood Planning Area. Sergio Madera, the city planner overseeing the project, said a residential project value would be much higher at $181.28 million compared to a $98.05 million industrial project value.

- Oceanside couple Steve and Marie Hoveln recently founded a local chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which builds beds for children in need. Believing that a bed is essential for a child's well-being, the Hovelns, and other volunteers build bunk beds and single twin beds to be donated locally. The Hovelns say they have always been involved in their community, but while looking for something new to get involved in after pandemic restrictions were relaxed, they decided to found the first local chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
