How do I get preliminary/ initial input for a development proposal?

Prior to submitting a formal entitlement application to the Planning Division, developers are encouraged to meet with City staff from various departments to obtain preliminary direction and input. Informal input on a development proposal can be obtained from Development Services Department staff on planning, engineering and building related matters during normal business hours, without an appointment. In addition, the City provides, preliminary input on projects in a semi-formal meeting setting, by appointment only, during Developer’s Conferences. A Developer’s Conference review fee shall be paid prior to the meeting. The Planning Division schedules and conducts these meetings on alternate Tuesday mornings. You may call 760-435-3520 or email at Planningstaff@ci.oceanside.ca.us to set up a Developer’s Conference appointment. https://oceanside.zoningcheck.com/.
