By Jerry Keene, Editor, The Oceansider This Wednesday , August 2 , the County Commissioners plan to approve and sign a long-awaited Order Establishing Limits on STRs in Unincorporated Areas and initiating waiting lists in each community once their cap is reached. Oceanside currently has 129 STRs (19% of all residences), and the new cap will be 139 (20% of residences – a 1% increase). Anticipating a surge in applications once the current 'pause' expires, the county will set up a lottery to determine the order of processing for applications submitted during the month of September.
