The City of Oceanside ("City") has the unique opportunity to develop some of its City-owned downtown public parking lots. The downtown area of Oceanside has experienced a recent transformation from a sleepy military beach town of the l960's to a vibrant beachfront destination and community. In addition to its beautiful sandy beaches and iconic pier, the downtown area now has new hotels and mixed-use commercial/residential developments. Also under construction are two destination hotels, the Joie de Vivre Hotel and a Destination Hotels Resort scheduled to open in 2020.
