CARLSBAD: An oceanfront hotel with a rooftop restaurant will be built at the west end of Oak Avenue, after the Carlsbad City Council approved plans for it Tuesday.
The Lumiere Carlsbad Village Hotel, at Oak and Ocean Street, will be four stories tall. It will have 39 hotel rooms and 10 condominiums, retail shops on the ground floor, and two levels of underground parking.
It also will provide two low-income housing units to meet a city requirement.
The building will be 45 feet tall, which falls just within Carlsbad's height restriction, a city staff report said.
The site is now occupied by 21 short-term vacation units. Construction is expected to begin next year. –M.B.
