1 INTRODUCTION
This Level 1 Local Mobility Analysis (LMA) evaluates the traffic conditions associated with the proposed
project (herein referred to as “the Project”) located at 2879-85 Hope Avenue in the City of Carlsbad. Figure
1-1 shows the location of the project within the San Diego region and Figure 1-2 shows the project area.
1.1 Project Description
The proposed Project consists of demolishing the existing 1,456 square-foot (sf) medical-dental office
building and constructing a two-story, 7,868 sf medical-dental office building. The Project is estimated to
be constructed by 2025. Figure 1-3 illustrates the Project site plan.
1.2 Study Area
The project study area is determined by the requirements contained in the City of Carlsbad Transportation
Impact Analysis Guidelines, April 2018. Based on Table 1 of the TIA Guidelines, a Level I analysis is required for a
project generating between 111 and 499 daily trips or between 12 and 49 peak-hour trips where the project
conforms to the General Plan or Zoning. The Project is forecasted to generate a net total of 321 daily trips
with 20 AM peak-hour trips and 35 PM peak-hour trips.
The existing zoning for the site is Village-Barrio (V-B) and the proposed project is a permitted use. There
would be no changes to the zoning. As a result, a Level I analysis would be appropriate for the project.
The following roadway segments are evaluated in this report:
Roadway Segment
Grand Avenue between Jefferson Street & Hope Avenue
Hope Avenue between Grand Avenue & Home Avenue

2 ANALYSIS APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
This section summarizes the analysis approach and methodology used to evaluate the study area associated
with the Project.
2.1 Methodology
2.1.1 Street Typology
As part of the City’s Mobility Element, streets were classified into typologies and the typology of the
roadway determines which modes of travel are subjected to the LOS D standard. The intent is to provide
a balanced mobility system that emphasizes primary users as opposed to always providing ideal level of
service for all modes on every facility. Table 2-1 summarizes the street typologies and the respective modes
that need to be evaluated.

Source: City of Carlsbad Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines, April 2018
The Grand Avenue segment between Jefferson Street and Hope Avenue has a Village street typology. The
Hope Avenue segment between Grand Avenue and Home Avenue has a Local/Neighborhood street
typology. With a Level 1 analysis, only the pedestrian and bicycle MMLOS will be evaluated for both
segments.
2.1.2 Pedestrian MMLOS
The Pedestrian MMLOS criteria evaluates the quality of the pedestrian system (e.g., number of vehicle
lanes that need to be crossed and the speed of adjacent traffic) and the friendliness of the infrastructure at
intersections (e.g., pedestrian countdown heads, dedicated pedestrian phases (e.g., a scramble phase), curb
extensions, refuge median).

I I I I
Carlsbad Grand Hope Medical
Level 1 LMA
2.1.3 Bicycle MMLOS
The Bicycle MMLOS criteria evaluates the quality of the bicycle system (e.g., bicycle route, bicycle lanes,
or bicycle pathway; presence of bicycle buffers from the vehicle travel way), the amenities of the system
(e.g., presence of bicycle parking), and the friendliness of the infrastructure (e.g., bicycle detection at
intersections, pavement conditions, presence of vehicle parking).
To evaluate multimodal level of service, the City of Carlsbad developed a spreadsheet based MMLOS tool.
Table 2-2 summarizes the MMLOS thresholds for each non-auto travel mode.

3 PROJECT TRAFFIC
This section describes the estimated trip generation for the project.
3.1 Project Trip Generation
Trip generation rates for the Project were developed utilizing rates contained in the SANDAG’s Brief Guide
of Vehicular Trip Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002. Table 3-1 summarizes the weekday trip
generation rates and calculations.

1. Based on the data provided in the SANDAG's Brief Guide of Vehicular Trip Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002.
As shown in the table, the Project is estimated to generate 394 daily trips with 24 trips in the AM peak-
hour and 44 trips in the PM peak-hour. After applying the existing use trip credits, the Project is forecasted
to generate a net total of 321 daily trips with 20 AM peak-hour trips and 35 PM peak-hour trips.

3.2 Project Trip Distribution and Assignment
A Project would be subject to implementing TDM and TSM strategies per Policy 3-P.11 if it adds more than
110 ADT or 11 peak-hour trips in a single direction of travel to an exempt segment. Since the nearest
segment of El Camino Real is over 2 miles away from the project site, it can be assumed that some project
traffic would be distributed and assigned to other local roadways and the amount of traffic in a single
direction would be less than 11 peak-hour trips added to any exempt segment. As a result, the Project is
not subject to implementing TDM and TSM strategies.

Carlsbad Grand Hope Medical
Level 1 LMA
4 NON-AUTO ANALYSIS
The City of Carlsbad requires multimodal level of service (MMLOS) evaluation for pedestrian, bicycle, and
transit users of the public roadway system. The Grand Avenue segment is a Village street typology and
the Hope Avenue segment is a Local/Neighborhood street typology that are subject to pedestrian and
bicycle MMLOS analysis.
4.1 MMLOS Results
Table 4-1 displays the pedestrian and bicycle MMLOS results for both roadway segments.

As shown in the table, the MMLOS resulted in LOS B or better conditions for pedestrians and LOS C or
better conditions for bicyclists. Appendix C contains the detailed MMLOS worksheets and supporting
data for the analysis.

5 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following list provides a summary of the key findings for the Project:
The Project consists of demolishing the existing 1,456 square-foot (sf) medical-dental office
building and constructing a two-story, 7,868 sf medical-dental office building.
The Project is forecasted to generate a net total of 321 daily trips with 20 AM peak-hour trips and
35 PM peak-hour trips.
The Project does not add more than 11 peak-hour directional trips to any exempt segment and is
not subject to implementing TSM and TDM measures per Policy 3-P.11.
The Project requires a Level 1 LMA that analyzes pedestrian and bicycle MMLOS due to Grand
Avenue having a Village street typology and Hope Avenue having a Local/Neighborhood street
typology.
The pedestrian MMLOS meets the LOS D standard per the Mobility Element and is operating at
LOS A.
The bicycle MMLOS meets the LOS D standard per the Mobility Element and is operating at LOS
C.

The Project would be subject to implementing TDM and TSM strategies per Policy 3-P.11 if it adds more
than 110 ADT or 11 peak-hour trips in a single direction of travel to an exempt segment. Since the nearest
segment of El Camino Real is over 2 miles away from the project site, it can be assumed that project traffic
would be distributed and assigned to other local roadways and the amount of traffic in a single direction
would be less than 11 peak-hour trips added to any exempt segment. As a result, the Project is not subject
to implementing TDM and TSM strategies.
