there's the sports arena, but the swap meet is there every weekend.
they do have car control clinics there occasionally,
not sure what the policy is for racing...

Sleep Train/Cricket/Coors Amphitheater has a pretty large parking lot with no light posts.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sleep+Train+Amphitheatre/@32.5882842,-117.0073051,433m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x28f90b2f6e67e678!8m2!3d32.587713!4d-117.0063965

The satellite view seems to show evidence of driving events.

Might be worth an exploratory call, although I imagine Aquatica would use the lots during the summer months.

I ran there once with SCCA many years ago. There are no light posts, but the raised planter beds with curbs present a hazard and split the lots into fairly small segments that don't allow for a very large course. And as you mentioned, it is not available in the summer months when the water park is open.

Simple solution
Maybe there will be a Giant Kangaroo Rat at the Q and if so, its an endangered species and they won't be able to re-develop it

To piggyback on Gary's post, the Sports Arena might be a possibility if we were willing to do an early weekday. Mondays? No argument here for a 3-day weekend that includes autocross.
