CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Omni La Cost a Hot el Master Plan Parking Count Consistency
1/22/25
Intent. The owner and developer of the Omni La Costa Hotel and Spa ("Omni'') is processing a
grading plan for expansion, asphalt surfacing and restriping of the Planning Area 2 Parking Lot
(Lot 7) on the La Costa Hotel and Spa Master Plan ("Mas·ter Plan") grounds. Concurrently, Omni
engineers are processing plans to expand and install asphalt surfacing and striping on the
Planning Area l "Gravel Lot" (Lot 8). (Please see attached Exhibit A.) Also, in May, 2023, the
City approved an expansion to the Golf Couse Driving Range which eliminated some 283
previously-existing parking spaces to allow for the expansion of the Driving Range into the Main
Gate Parking Lot (Lot 4). This interchange of eliminating and replacing parking spaces has
resulted in the City's request for an updated assessment of the overall number of parking spaces
available for use on the Master Plan campus, and a determination as to whether that number is
sufficient to satisfy the anticipated demand. This report provides an updated assessment of
compliance with the required Master Plan parking space counts.
Background. The La Costa Resort and Spa Master Plan was updated in 2019, with an
amendment and entitlement actions associated with approval of the Luna Ballroom in Planning
Area 5 (Exhibit 2). These actions were approved per City of Carlsbad Planning Commission
Resolution No. 7315 on January 16, 2019. This approved Master Plan document describes the
parking requirements for the Resort to be a "shared use approval" for the campus as a whole. The
findings of shared use are per a Parking Needs Assessment, prepared by Walker Consultants,
August I, 2018, and which is appended to the approved Master Plan. The Walker Consultants
Needs Assessment was based on real-word investigation of the facility during active and eventful
periods. Notwithstanding that the Resort has been an evolving and adapting visitor-serving
complex, it is the City's and the Developer's continued desire that the total quantity of vehicular
parking spaces provide not be reduced below the total identified on the Parking Needs
Assessment in the Walker Consultants study.
Required Parking Count. The required parking for the La Costa Resort and Spa was determined
as indicated in the approval documents referenced above. This approved projected overall design
parking demand totals 1,263 spaces. It does not include two buildings of timeshare unit sub-
grade parking which the approval documents indicate provides exactly sufficient parking (per
Zoning requirements) for their respective unit counts. Since those two buildings contain exactly
sufficient parking for their respective unit counts -for purposes of this analysis, they are·
considered a "wash". Information listing the parking areas and updated parking space counts is
shown below in Table 1.

Conclusion. Based on the Walker Report Demand Analysis, the above parking counts confirm a
small reduction in the number of excess spaces that existed at the time of the 2018 Master Plan
Amendment, but, with Lots 7 and 8 fully constructed -the La Costa Hotel and Spa campus will
continue to have a surplus of available parking, in this case of 223 spaces. This report concludes
that, with the two additional lots constructed, the parking count will continue to be in substantial
conformance with the Master Plan.
