Good morning, Oceanside.

San Diego Humane Society will offer free microchipping until July 3—helping pet owners keep their pets safe from fireworks— and will not charge fees to return lost pets until July 8 at their local campuses.

Carlsbad City Council did not endorse a proposed state constitutional amendment to return local control over zoning—citing transparency concerns and a need to review final ballot language—while other North County cities like Oceanside already supported the measure.

Oceanside will finalize a new cannabis storefront licensing program in August that may let up to four dispensaries open over the next three years—updating zoning rules, application procedures, and giving priority to current delivery-only operators MedLeaf and Left Coast.

The ordinance also sets strict requirements for applicants and a timeline that aims to have storefronts operational by 2026.
