Impact Fee Study: Review of Proposed Projects
Recommended Actions
Receive an update and provide input on the proposed project descriptions for the Sustainable
Mobility Plan Implementation Plan.
Executive Summary
The City of Carlsbad’s Sustainable Mobility Plan (SMP) is the main plan that guides
implementation of the city’s General Plan Mobility Element. The plan guides the city in
expanding and improving safe, healthy and convenient travel options for people of all ages and
abilities. It combines projects and programs from 12 previous planning documents into a single
strategic plan that includes projects like bicycle and pedestrian access improvements, transit
and trail connections, and Safe Routes to School programs.
City staff are working on an implementation plan that creates realistic funding strategies for the
design and construction of the recommended projects. One way of funding these projects is to
update the city’s current Traffic Impact Fee and develop a new approach to funding all the
different types of transportation infrastructure through something called the Multimodal
Transportation Impact Fee.
In the past, transportation around cities was almost exclusively focused on driving, except for
dense urban areas where public transit is well utilized. Now, the city is focused on finding ways
to make other modes of transportation a safe and inviting alternative where it makes sense.
Developers already pay a traffic impact fee, but this updated fee, called the Multimodal
Transportation Impact Fee, would be collected from developers so they would pay for the
impacts their projects will have on the city’s transportation network. Instead of charging
developers a fee based on just cars, the city would be able to collect development fees to help
fund improvements for all the ways people travel around the city, like bike infrastructure and
wider sidewalks.

Staff Report
To help provide a range for this fee to understand how much these projects would cost, high-
level concepts were developed for the 105 proposed projects in the Sustainable Mobility Plan.
The high-level concepts are used as a basis to get cost estimates for the projects.
This item will present high-level project descriptions intended to support cost estimation for
the Multimodal Transportation Impact Fee (MTIF). Staff are seeking feedback from the Traffic
Safety & Mobility Commission on whether these project descriptions reflect suitable project
concepts at this time.
The project descriptions are expected to undergo further changes and refinements as individual
projects are funded and ready to advance. This may include various modifications, such as
adjustments to the type of recommended bikeway facility, enhancements to intersection
treatments, and recommendations for lane reductions, as projects are evaluated in greater
detail. This process will incorporate public input and involve more detailed analysis during the
engineering design phases, during which projects will come back to the Traffic Safety & Mobility
Commission for early feedback and then recommendation of approval to the City Council.
These refinements will help ensure that each project aligns with community needs and
technical feasibility as they progress toward implementation and approval.
Discussion
Implementation Plan for the Sustainable Mobility Plan
Approved by the City Council in January 2021, the Sustainable Mobility Plan implements the
City of Carlsbad’s General Plan Mobility Element and guides the city in expanding and improving
safe, healthy and convenient travel options for people of all ages and abilities. It combines
projects and programs from 12 previous planning documents into a single strategic plan that
includes projects like bicycle and pedestrian access improvements, transit and trail connections,
Safe Routes to School programs, and improvements in underserved communities. The plan
incorporates previous plans including:
• The General Plan Mobility Element
• Bicycle and pedestrian master plans
• Village & Barrio Master Plan
• Carlsbad Active Transportation Strategy
• Climate Action Plan
• Establishing the Transportation Demand Ordinance to reduce single occupancy travel
The SMP included an original prioritized project list, which was further refined by the Traffic
Safety & Mobility Commission in June 2023.
The projects were prioritized for implementation based on the following criteria:
• Access to transit, schools and key destinations
• Areas that generate high Vehicle Miles Traveled and pollution factors
• High collision areas
• Demographic data including population and employment density
Dec. 2, 2024 Item #2 Page 2 of 27
The key factors considered as part of the reprioritization of the SMP projects include:
Connected project network:
The reprioritized project list is intended to place greater emphasis on projects that connect
disjointed routes, enhance safety measures in high-traffic areas, provide connections to school
sites, and extending the reach of the existing pedestrian and bicycle network to currently
underserved neighborhoods. By closing these gaps, the city is aiming to improve accessibility
and encourage more residents to embrace walking, biking and taking transit as a viable mode
of transportation.
Focus on east-west corridors:
To establish an efficient and interconnected active transportation network throughout the city,
the reprioritized project list emphasizes the development of well-defined east-west corridors,
including Jefferson Street/Marron Road, Carlsbad Village Drive, Tamarack Avenue, Cannon
Road, Palomar Airport Road, Poinsettia Lane, and La Costa Avenue. These corridors were
strategically selected based on factors such as commuter flow, connections to schools,
residential areas, popular destinations like the coastline, and integration with public
transportation hubs. Creating robust east-west routes aims to facilitate a more seamless and
convenient path of travel for all roadway users.
Latest traffic safety data:
In an effort to enhance the safety of active transportation users and promote a more
sustainable urban environment, the city's Local Roadway Safety Plan was also utilized to
reprioritize the SMP projects. The Local Roadway Safety Plan was completed after the
adoption of the SMP so the new information provided in the LRSP was utilized to identify areas
with high traffic safety risks and allocate resources to address these concerns effectively. By
analyzing the traffic safety data, the city was able to develop a prioritized project list that
focused on improving the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorized road users.
Project Descriptions and Conceptual Plan for Select Projects
The implementation plan identifies a total of 322 individual projects, which have been grouped
into approximately 104 project areas as detailed in Exhibit 1. To establish a potential cost
framework for these projects, the project team further developed and refined the project
descriptions. This process involved conducting additional project development analysis,
including the preparation of conceptual designs for several high-priority projects. For the
remaining projects, the descriptions were refined to provide some specificity on the anticipated
scope of work. The update project descriptions for all 105 project areas are provided in Exhibit
1 and draft conceptual design sheets are provided in Exhibit 2.
The goal of this analysis is to produce conceptual-level cost estimates for all projects identified
in the SMP. These estimates will serve as the foundation for the Multimodal Transportation
Impact Fee, which will be formally established through a Fee Nexus Study. This approach
ensures that the impact fees are appropriately scaled to fund the necessary multimodal
improvements as envisioned in the SMP.
Dec. 2, 2024 Item #2 Page 3 of 27
Given the large number of projects identified in the SMP, the Multimodal Traffic Impact Fee will
not cover all the costs associated with all of the projects, but is still anticipated to generate new
revenue to fund improvements for all the ways people travel around the city, including bike
infrastructure and wider sidewalks.
Next Steps
• Staff will review and revise the draft project descriptions as needed and update the
Sustainable Mobility Plan Implementation Plan accordingly.
• The project team will use the cost estimate data to establish a minimum and maximum
allowable fee, finalizing the nexus study for the Multimodal Transportation Impact Fee
(MTIF).
• The results of this analysis will then be presented to the Planning Commission, City
Council and other stakeholders for review, leading to final fee adoption by the City
Council.
• When a particular project is ready for next steps in implementation, the project will go to
the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission for further input and refinement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
East of Paseo Del Norte, sidewalks will be widened on the northside, with
a barrier separating pedestrians from traffic. Vehicle lanes and medians
will be narrowed to accommodate one buffered bike lane and the wider
sidewalk. The project also includes Caltrans-led multi-modal intersection
enhancements around the 1-5 interchange, a new North County Transit
District pedestrian and bicyclist bridge over the train tracks, and a
roundabout on Avenida Encinas. East of Armada Drive, sidewalks will be
widened on the north side and street trees added. Travel lanes will be
narrowed to accommodate buffered bike lanes. The existing tree lined
median will be narrowed and the trees preserved, if possible, or replaced.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
West of Fairway Lane, the sidewalk on La Costa Avenue will be widened and new painted buffers will be added for cyclist protection. A tree-lined median will replace the current painted median. Between Nueva Castilla Way and Romeria Street, vehicle lanes and the center turn lane will narrow to accommodate a new sidewalk. From Quinta Street to Cadencia Street, one vehicle lane and the center turn lane will be reduced to accommodate a new sidewalk and increase the width of one bike lane. New high visibility crosswalks, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs), and bulb-outs will be introduced on Marbella Driveway, Nueva Castilla, Calle Madero, and Levante Street. Three roundabout feasibility studies are proposed on Vieja Castilla Way, Romeria Road, and Cadencia Street.
