What to Know Before Switching to Solar Power

3/19/2021

 
Picture
By District Attorney Summer Stephan
 
Deciding to install solar panels is an important financial decision. If done improperly, the installation can damage your home leading to costly repairs. Many solar contractors are honest and reliable, but not always. Inevitably there are cheaters working the system and preying upon the unsuspecting. Sometimes they are rogue contractors, but mostly they are unlicensed fraudsters who cut corners or skip town with your money.

​Prop 20 is an Important First Step to Taking Back our Streets

9/17/2020

The Oceanside Chamber recommends a vote of YES on Proposition 20 as an important first step in addressing the criminal behavior associated with homelessness on our streets… behaviors including violence and repeated acts of theft.  These behaviors have been a tremendous burden on our small businesses, a distraction they can ill afford as they focus on recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2009, the City of Oceanside adopted the Coast Highway Vision and Strategic Plan. This plan serves as a blueprint for the revitalization and enhancement of the Coast Highway corridor between Harbor Drive in the north and Buena Vista Lagoon in the south. The Vision and Strategic Plan includes several recommendations to transform Coast Highway from an auto-oriented thoroughfare into a "complete street" that serves all modes of transportation from automobiles to pedestrians to bicyclists and transit vehicles.

The recycling industry is currently going through a serious downturn due to import policies being enforced by China to reduce trash in recyclables put into effect in early 2018. Their action stems from  something that has become all too common in recycling  programs across North America: recycling  contamination, or the percentage of trash mixed with recyclables. ​

Oceanside Chamber, Farmers and city Council Candidates Instrumental in defeat of measure y

11/7/2018

 
Picture
Oceanside's Measure Y, also known as the SOAR Initiative, has been defeated. With 100% of precincts reporting, 54% of Oceanside voters have rejected this initiative that would have "required voter approval of proposals to change land use designation or zoning in agricultural or open space land to any other use."

The Oceanside Chamber, along with local farmers, and City Council candidates, led the effort over several months to spread the word about the negative impact this measure would have on economic development and property rights. This past spring, the Chamber's Business and Community Political Action Committee commissioned an economic impact study on SOAR to highlight its threat to farming as well as a wide variety of opportunity costs this measure could pose. The report is still available at www.OceansideSOARStudy.com.

​Report: Measure Y Would Devastate Farmers and Stall Economic Growth

10/15/2018

 
Picture
On November 6th, Oceanside voters will have the opportunity to vote on a ballot measure that will impact our local economy for decades to come. Measure Y, more commonly referred to as the SOAR initiative, not only could have lasting economic impacts, but also would eliminate local farmland, encourage sprawling estate lot development in Oceanside’s backcountry, and make “ballot-box planning” land-use restrictions a reality in Oceanside.

Measure Y would require voter approval for any change in the zoning of land currently designated for agricultural or open space. This takes away property rights from farms by making it cost prohibitive for farmers to mount a political campaign, not to mention the cost to the city taxpayers to hold an election.

This past Spring, upon recognition of the potential detrimental effects of the measure, the Chamber commissioned Dr. Lynn Reaser of Point Loma Nazarene University to complete a study on the economic impact of Measure Y. The complete study is available for download at www.OceansideSoarStudy.com.

According to Reaser’s report, Measure Y will fail on its core promise of protecting public recreational lands and open space “because most open space used for parks and recreational activities is City-owned and already requires a vote of the people for any zoning change.”
Similarly, the claim that Measure Y will safeguard Oceanside farmland is false. In fact, Dr. Reaser’s study came to the opposite conclusion: “The Initiative will likely lead to the demise of active farms in Oceanside, with land either being left to go fallow or sold into large estates for the wealthy.”

According to Chamber CEO, Scott Ashton, “This measure is not about saving open space or farms. Measure Y is simply an affront to property rights. It benefits a small group of estate owners at the expense of our farmers and the rest of our community.”

Oceanside Farmers have deep concerns about the consequences of this measure. Neil Nagata, owner of Nagata Brothers Farms, Inc. in South Morro Hills, President of the San Diego Farm Bureau sees the initiative for what it truly is. “Measure Y doesn’t help agriculture, it hurts agriculture. Farmers must depend on land values as a significant part of how we borrow money to fund our farm. By stripping our property rights from us, [Measure] Y will actually hurt our ability to stay in business. Every burden that we add just makes it easier for foreign competition to move in and replace us. If farmers go bankrupt, we’d have to lay off employees, and the land won’t stay green. The decision would be to sell off 2 ½ acre lots or have the land be left as a blight to the area.”

Leaders in the agritourism arena also see the unintended consequences. Agritourism has proved a successful approach to tying tourism, dining and craft-driven business to local agriculture as a way to stimulate economic activity while sustaining farming.

According to Eric Larson, Executive Director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, “Agritourism can only succeed with large numbers of visitors.  To accommodate the crowds there will need to be infrastructure improvements.  If the SOAR initiative prevents infrastructure improvements, there should be no expectation that agritourism will succeed.”

He added, “If you look at the two most successful examples of agritourism in San Diego County, Bates Nut Farm and the Flower Fields, neither would be allowed in Oceanside under the SOAR initiative.”

Reaser’s report goes into depth on a wide array of economic consequences that could result from this initiative. Some of the key takeaways from the report include…

Family Farms Potentially Becoming Exclusive Estates for the Wealthy
  • The initiative would shut off avenues for farmers in Oceanside to remain viable at a time when they are being squeezed between rising labor, water, and financing costs and increasing competition from imports. 
  • The Initiative would likely lead to the eventual demise of active farms in Oceanside, with land either being left to go fallow or sold into large estates for the wealthy.
Lost Opportunity for a Vibrant Agritourism Sector
  • The Initiative would prevent the creation of a vibrant agritourism cluster in Oceanside, including a mix of wineries, lodging, restaurants, and small retailers. In contrast, it would be restricted to a few roadside farm stands.   
  • Allowing development of a true agritourism cluster with additional housing on 1/6 (limited development) to 1/3 (moderate development) of the land currently zoned exclusively for agriculture would produce significantly greater economic gains than if current uses are frozen in place. These gains would include:   
    • About twice the number of jobs
    • $400 million in gross regional product (GRP) versus $150 million  
  • By 2034, the area currently being farmed is likely to contribute nearly $0.5 million to the City’s potential deficit. In contrast, the City could see a surplus of $1.2 million annually from the area if it allowed very limited development and a $2.5 million surplus annually from the region if moderate development were allowed.

The report touches on several other consequences including widening wealth and income inequality, limitations on addressing housing shortages, and increased housing density in the remainder of Oceanside where it is already higher than the City of San Diego.
​
According to Ashton, a no vote on Measure Y will preserve a wide variety of economic opportunities for Oceanside over the coming decades. “If Measure Y is defeated, it gives Oceanside flexibility in addressing issues such as workforce housing and the implementation of a thriving agritourism sector, while ensuring agriculture remains a vital part of Oceanside – as it has been for generations.”

City Council Approves Fairfield Inn Project Supported by Chamber

5/10/2018

​At its May 9th meeting, the Oceanside City Council voted in favor of the Fairfield Inn Hotel project, slated for Oceanside Blvd, just west of I-5. The project had originally been denied by the planning commission, but was supported in a 3-2 vote of the council, with Mayor Peter Weiss and councilmembers Jerry Kern and Jack Feller voting in favor of the project.

The 99-room hotel project, which is supported by the Chamber,  would provide an estimated $500,000 annually of additional TOT revenue to the City, along with the potential of increased sales tax revenue.

On February 20th, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors unanimously voted to oppose the Save Open Space and Agricultural Resources initiative, known as S.O.A.R.
 
The proposed initiative would require a vote of the people of Oceanside for any request requiring a zone change to open space or agricultural property. This initiative destabilizes farmers’ rights, creates devastating community impacts, and denigrates the City Council.

To accommodate the changes and still make the project pencil, Shopoff is asking for an additional 38 units. The emerging issues committee made a recommendation to the board of directors for the Oceanside Chamber to support the project and the addition of the 38 units.

Two years ago, the five cities located along the Highway 78 corridor - Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido, San Marcos, and Vista - launched Innovate78.  Innovate 78 is an economic initiative designed to increase prosperity through collaboration. Under Innovate 78, the five cities pledged to work together to attract and retain business and to not undermine each other’s economic interests.
 
Innovate 78 grew from the realization that the five cities along the 78 Corridor have much in common and can benefit by collaborating to promote common business interests, whereas competing against each other could drive businesses, jobs and investment dollars away.

​Oceanside’s Emerging Issues Update: March 3, 2016

A quick overview of what was covered in the Oceanside Chamber’s March 2016 Emerging Issues Committee Meeting.

By Amber Ter-Vrugt

Jennings – US Chamber – priorities for 2016!
The Transpacific Partnership, a free trade agreement with 11 other nations along the Pacific Rim, is the #1 priority for the US chamber! This will open up trade markets for the US that never existed before.
Other priorities include regulatory reform, tax reform, and combatting harmful legislation.
Regulatory Onslaught…63 federal agencies have 3,305 regulations at various stages of implementation
Two major regulatory rules that are coming down the pike…
  1. The Overtime Rule increases the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees from $23,660 to $50,440… so basically a 113% increase, or you have to make those employees hourly employees. California is a little different; our baseline is a little higher than the Federal average, but this rule would still have a huge impact on businesses with full-time employees that make less than $50K!!
  2. The Fiduciary Rule which will come on line in spring 2016 was intended to help keep the “bad-actors” out of the financial planning business, but it basically makes it tougher for investment advisors to do their job and opens up more opportunities for litigation which helps no one.

Colleen Foster Provides Chamber Members Info on Oceanside's Zero Waste Programs
by Amber Ter-Vrugt
 
Texas Roadhouse coming to Oceanside!
Like steak? Like ribs? Like ice cold beer? Like Peanuts? If so, come June, you’re going to be a happy camper…. ! Pay attention to the old Spoons location … Texas Road house is scraping it and building a new restaurant.
 
Zero Waste in Oceanside… we’re on our way! What’s next? Single Use Bag Ban coming this year…
Want more information … January 25th the City will be hosting a business, sustainability and policy workshop at Privateer at 6pm… or, if you can’t make it, contact Colleen Foster at 760-435-5021 [email protected]
Interesting tidbits from Colleen…
  • Today Oceanside is at a 77% recycling rate! That’s a direct result of businesses and schools getting involved!
  • California generates about 19 million single use plastic bags!
  • Single use plastic bags do not bio degrade.
  • Single use bags are the 5th most commonly found littered item because of their lightweight makeup.
  • Plastic bag materials are now being found in our food supply because marine life consumes plastic bags that make it into waterways. 
  • What about ziplock bags? Those are not biodegradable, or recyclable… but they would not be part of an ordinance in Oceanside at this time
  • Patio decking is the only area where single use bags can be reused / recycled, but that’s such a narrow market that only %5 of single use plastic bags are actually recycled and reused .
  • 145 cities / counties have passed a single use plastic bag ban.

Zero Waste and the Future of Single Use Bags in Oceanside

12/29/2015

 
Picture
The City of Oceanside is committed to waste diversion and recycling. Through this commitment, the City of Oceanside passed a Zero Waste Strategic Resource Management Plan in June of 2012. The Zero Waste Plan has allowed the City to implement programs and provide resources to the community that has increased the City’s diversion rate from 58%-71% in less than 3 years.  The Zero Waste Plan also outlines the implementation of policies that will minimize the use of single-use shopping bags. In line with this zero waste goal, the City of Oceanside is currently considering a Single-Use Carryout Bag Ordinance in Oceanside, and will be hosting a series of educational presentations for the public and business community during the month of January.

Oceanside Chamber Wants To Create Better Employees For Local Businesses

by Marva Bledsoe, Business and Community Political Action Committee

In partnership with a Senior Experience Team from California State University San Marcos, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce has recently explored the relationship
between educational institutions and the needs of the local business community.
 
The Chamber commissioned the three month project in order to gain new perspectives and insights on how to bridge the communication gap between educational institutions and businesses in Oceanside.  The goal of this project was to find out what local businesses have experienced with past and current employees and to analyze the traits these employees are lacking and that the business is looking for, and then to compare these needs to the type of education and training that educational institutions have provided to students or future employees.   
 
As a part of their research, the Senior Experience Team conducted a series of interviews and surveys with local businesses and educational institutions.  Based on their conclusions and recommendations, the Chamber will expand its programs to help solve the problems businesses are currently facing regarding new employees.

Interesting findings from the CSUSM Senior Experience Project for the Oceanside Chamber…
CSUSM students surveyed Oceanside businesses and found out interesting information; including but not limited to, employers in Oceanside feel that in many cases new employees are lacking soft skills and trainability, Oceanside employers typically search from within and take recommendations from current employees when looking to fill positions, and employers look for employees at job fairs and on job websites.  So, what does that mean? Why is there such a deficit in soft skills? The research findings give us a great basis to create programs to support our business community.
 
Concerned with vagrant and homeless issues in downtown?
The homeless shelter has opened downtown and there’s a great deal of work being done to create long-term solutions for the city.
