FOCUSED TRAFFIC STUDY
FOR OAKMONT OF CARLSBAD
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY
I. INTRODUCTION
At the request of Oakmont Senior Living, and in consultation with the City of Carlsbad, Crane
Transportation Group (CTG) has prepared this study to address weekday vehicle trip generation,
intersection level of service, vehicle queue demand, and parking supply and demand for
Oakmont's proposed l 5 l-unit, 175-bed assisted living facility in Carlsbad, California. The
facility is proposed to be located immediately north of the signalized Faraday A venue/El Fuerte
Street intersection. See Figure 1. Area Map. The site is undeveloped, and is referenced as Lot I
of the Carlsbad Oaks North development. The facility would serve individuals in need of living
assistance and/or memory care. See Figure 2. Site Plan, and Figure 3. Proposed Lane
Striping.
II. SUMMARY
Issues specifically addressed in this study are as follows:
Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street Intersection Lane Geometrics: The Faraday
Avenue/El Fuerte Street intersection is currently a "T' intersection; with the project, it
will become a four-leg intersection with the project driveway forming the new 4th leg of
the intersection.
Osakmont of Carlsbad Trip Generation: The proposed assisted care facility would
accommodate 175 beds (151 units), of which 52 units would accommodate memory care
residents. Most residents would not drive or require automobile storage (parking) on-site.
The primary trip generation and parking demand would be created by staff and visitors to
the site. The proposed 175-bed facility would be expected to generate 490 daily trips,
with 33 trips during the ambient commute AM peak hour, and 46 trips during the ambient
commute PM peak hour.
Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street Intersection Level of Service: The analysis of the
project access intersection, shows that existing without and with-project conditions, and
2035 without and with-project conditions operate acceptably at LOS C or better for all
analysis time periods and conditions.
Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street Intersection Queue Demand: Vehicle queues are
derived from the intersection level of service operations analysis, with results of Synchro
runs included in the appendix to this study. Required vehicle queuing capacity is shown
in feet, rounded to the nearest 25 feet. As shown, the greatest required queue length at the
Faraday A venue/El Fuerte Street intersection would occur with the year 2035 planning
horizon, when "with project" conditions would require a 200-foot long through/left turn
queue lane on the northbound El Fuerte Street left turn to Faraday Avenue, assuming a
northbound through/left turn lane and separate right turn lane. The existing 125-foot lane
will need to be extended 75 feet, to a total of200 feet.
Oakmont of Carlsbad Parking Supply and Demand: All parking would be provided
on-site. City code would require 61 spaces, however, Oakmont proposes to provide 163
parking spaces of which 6 would be handicapped accessible. Sixty (60) spaces would be
surface parking, and I 03 spaces would be in underground garages; an additional parking
space would be reserved for the Oakmont shuttle. Parking demand anticipated for the
proposed assisted care facility is detailed by the employee shift schedule and anticipated
visitor parking. Parking demand is also addressed in the context of surveys conducted for
Oakmont's existing Cardinal Point I Assisted Living Facility. Parking would
accommodate employee shift change and peak visitor parking. Event parking would be
handled by valet service for specific events (occurring about three times per year).
According to the City of Carlsbad's Development Permit P-2 guideline, item H, the City does
not require full traffic studies of projects producing fewer than 200 peak hour trips or fewer than
500 daily trips. Oakmont of Carlsbad will produce, at most, 490 daily trips, with 33 two-way
(inbound+ outbound) AM peak hour trips and 46 two-way (inbound+ outbound) PM peak hour
trips, below the City's thresholds for requiring a full traffic study.
For this reason, the following information addresses existing and future (2035) traffic volumes at
the Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street (project access) intersection, project trip generation,
Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street intersection level of service and queue demand with and
without the project, and on-site parking demand/supply. This study does not provide a full
traffic analysis, as defined in item Hof the City's Development Permit (P-2) guideline.
III. SETTING
The project site is accessed via the signalized Faraday Avenue/El Fuerte Street intersection. The
primary site access would be a driveway forming the north leg of the Faraday A venue/El Fuerte
Street intersection. Lane configurations for existing and future (2035) conditions arc shown on
Figure 4. Existing and 2035 with and without Project Intersection Lane Geometrics and
Control.
Neighboring land uses arc undeveloped lands, however, the site is designated as Lot 1 of the
planned Carlsbad Oaks North development. There is no public transit service along Faraday
Avenue or El Fuerte Street in the immediate site vicinity, however, North County Transit
provides the City of Carlsbad and the region with extensive transit options, including train, bus
and shuttle services. The nearest transit service to the site is located at Faraday Avenue/South
Melrose Drive, about a 10-minute walk east of the site, or at Faraday A venue/El Camino Real,
about a 25-minute walk west of the site.
Traffic count data. Weekday traffic counts were conducted by Crane Transportation Group
Thursday, September 21, 2017 from 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the Faraday
A venue/El Fuerte Street intersection. The peak traffic hours were found to occur from 7:30 to
CTG 2m16 Revised Focused Traffic and Parking Study for Oakmont of Carlsbad Assisted Living Facility, Carlsbad, CA
Page 2
CRANE TRANSPORTATION GROUP
8:30 AM and from 4:45 to 5:45 PM. Cumulative raffic volume projections were obtained from
the SANDAG regional traffic model for year 2035 conditions. Figure S. Existing and 2035
(without Project) AM and PM Peak Hour Traffic Volumes, shows existing and projected
volumes for weekday peak traffic hours at the Faraday Avenue/ El Fuerte Street study
intersection.
The 2035 planning horizon traffic volume data was supplied by e-mail from Joaquin Ortega,
Associate Transportation Modeler, SAND AG, on January 23, 2018, with the following notes:
• 2035 Forecast year
SAN DAG Series 13 land use forecast
• Revenue constrained road network as approved in the 2015 RTP/SCS
• ABM version l 3.3.2 current to Summer 2017
• Scenario 709
• Corrected income forecast --post Measure A investigation
• Volumes rounded to nearest ten
• AM peak period 6:00 AM-9:00 AM
• PM peak period 3:00-PM-6:30 PM
The volumes are for peak periods only and by leg of intersection.
SANDAG volumes indicate low-level growth on El Fuerte Street at Faraday Avenue.
IV. DESCRIPTION OF SITE PLAN AND OAKMONT'S
PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Automobile access to and from the Oakmont of Carlsbad Assisted Living Facility "project site"
would be via a two-way entrance driveway connection to Faraday Avenue, opposite El Fuerte
Street, near the site's southeast boundary. The site would provide separate buildings for Assisted
Living and Memory Care. Each building would have its own drop-off/pick-up at front-door Porte
Cochere one-way driveways. The one-way driveways would connect to two-way driveways
with access to all on-site parking.

V. TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Trip rates utilized in this evaluation arc from the Trip Generation -An ITE Informational
Report, 10th Edition, by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2017. Although occupancy is
typically closer to 95 percent than 100 percent, the higher percentage is used in this evaluation to
present a conservative analysis. Table 1 shows projected trip generation for the Assisted Living
+ Memory Care project.
As shown in Table 1, the proposed 175-bed facility would be expected to generate 490 daily
two-way trips, with 33 two-way trips during the ambient commute AM peak hour, and 46 two-
way trips during the ambient commute PM peak hour. Figure 6 shows the project increment of
traffic distributed to the roadway system.

VI. INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE OPERATION AND
RESULTING 95TH PERCENTILE VEHICLE QUEUES
The.City of Carlsbad considers Level of Service (LOS) D to be the minimum acceptable
intersection operation (LOS). As shown in Tables 2 and 3, both existing with and without
project conditions, and 2035 with and without project conditions, operate acceptably at LOS C or
better for all analysis time periods.

require provision of a southbound through/left and separate right lane from the Oakmont facility,
a 25-foot eastbound Faraday A venue left turn lane and a northbound Cl Fuerte Street through-left
turn lane. Existing-plus-project traffic volumes would require 175 feet of queuing space for the
northbound Cl Fuerte Street through-left turn lane, while 2035-plus-pro_ject traffic volumes
would require 200 feet of queuing space for the northbound El Fuerte Slreet through-left turn
lane.
VIII. PARKING SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The facility would provide assisted living services that are personalized to the individual needs
of those who require help with all activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating,
toileting, mobility, and medication management. In assisted living, residents receive three meals
a day, housekeeping services, and weekly laundry of linens and personal clothing. Specialized
recreational and social programs would be provided.
A typical assisted living resident needs help with at least three or more activities of daily living,
and residents who are living in memory care need help with all activities. Also, in a dedicated
assisted living and memory care building the social, recreational and dining programs are
structured to meet the resident's needs, as residents are less mobile and must make use of more
adaptive devices. Oakmont's staff is licensed in a wide range of care-giving, and requires few
specialty caregivers over and above the Oakmont staff. 1
Oakmont proposes to provide a total of 163 employee, visitor and resident parking spaces,
consisting of:
• 60 surface parking spaces (3 accessible),
• 67 underground garage spaces for the Assisted Living building (2 accessible),
• 32 underground garage spaces for the Memory Care building ( 1 accessible),
• 4 spaces in the Models building garage.
In addition, one space would be dedicated to parking for the Oakmont shuttle, for a grand total
l 04 parking spaces.
Oakmont staff would comprise the primary daily parking demand. Table 4 provides a sampling
of three weekday time periods when parking demand would likely be greatest.
Staff Shift Changes
The morning and afternoon non-admini.<urative staff shift changes will not coincide with the
weekday ambient AM and PM commute peak traffic hours. Shift changes at Oakmont facilities
have been observed to occur gradually, with employees arriving and departing over a ½ hour
period, rather than in a highly concentrated peak.

CRANE TRANSPORTATION GROUP
Basis of Parking Supply and Demand
The facility will be in operation on a 24-hour basis, seven days per week. Many residents would
require high levels of care, with some requiring memory care assistance. Few residents would
drive, and few would require a parking space for car storage. The non-administrative staff shifl
schedule would be 6:00 AM -2:00 PM (morning shift), 2:00 PM -10:00 PM (afternoon shift)
and 10:00 PM -6:00 AM (nighttime shift). Non-administrative staff would total 28 for the
morning shift, 28 for the afternoon shift, and 12 for the nighttime shift. A shuttle with driver
would be on-call for residents at all times. Twenty (20) administrative staff would follow an 8:00
AM -5:00 PM schedule. Not all staff would be expected to drive to work-some may carpool or
be dropped off at work by a family member. As stated, there is no convenient public transit along
Faraday A venue or El Fuerte Street in the project vicinity.
It is expected that some employees would be dropped off at work (this was observed at
Oakmont's Cardinal Point I), and others may ridcshare to and from work. Surveys conducted of
the Cardinal Point I facility revealed that 33 percent of morning shift staff used alternative modes
of travel to and from work. However, due to the absence of easily available public transit in the
project vicinity, this study conservatively assumes that each staff member would drive their own
car to and.from the facility.
The facility would provide car service for its residents, and at any given time, a vehicle would be
parked with a driver on call, as needed.

Deliveries and Visitors
Daily deliveries -produce, bread, milk
Weekly or monthly deliveries -staples, paper goods, nursing supplies, office supplies,
deaning supplies
There would be no restrictions on visiting hours. The majority of weekday visits would
occur during evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Although most medical and therapeutic
services would be available through the Oakmont staff, a few residents would have in-
house visits from aids or therapists, and these would generally occur between 10:00 AM
and 2:00 PM. Weekend visits would occur from about 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

*Based upon surveys conducted by Crane Transportation Group for the Cardinal Pomt I and II Senior and Assisted
Living facilities in Alameda, California, 33 percent of employees used modes of travel to work other than a single-
occupant vehicle. The modes observed included walking, bicycle, public transit, rideshare and drop-off. To present
a conservative analysis, the morning and afternoon shifts are not reduced in this table.
Compiled by: Crane Transportation Group, July 6, 2017
IX. PARKING REQUIREMENT
The project would be expected to have sufficient parking with its proposed 163 on-site parking
spaces. plus one shuttle space, and would not depend upon any off-site, on-street parking spaces.
The City of Carlsbad requires 2 spaces, plus one space per three beds for a Senior Assisted Care
facility, thus, for this 175-bed facility, the City requires 61 parking spaces. The proposed 163
parking spaces would result in exceeding the City's code requirement by a factor of about 2.66.
For informational purposes, a sampling of parking requirements for residential care facilities and
similar land uses for several other California cities are provided in Table 5.

As can be seen from the above data, the 163 proposed parking spaces would be substantially
greater than the number of spaces required by the cities listed above for various types of assisted
care (including convalescent and rest home) facilities.

According to the study Assisted Living Residences: A Study 1/Trqffic and Parking Implications,
prepared by the American Seniors Housing Association, parking demand is low to moderate
compared to other housing types. The study cites a parking demand for assisted living facilities
as low as 0.22 per unit (the equivalent of 33 spaces for a 15 l-unit facility). The reason cited for
this comparatively low parking requirement is: residents do not drive, and visitors typically
arrive and depart during all hours of the day rather than concentrating during a specific period of
the day.

The "2035 with-project" 95th percentile queue demand for the northbound El Fuerte
Street through-left turn lane will require a 200-feet of storage, an extension of 75 feet to
the existing 125-foot lane. As volumes increase due to growth in the area, the
northbound El Fuerte Street lane accommodating left turns will have capacity well
beyond the current and future "with project" demand.
The project will have more than sufficient parking supply with its proposed 163 on-site
parking spaces, and would more than double what is required by City code. Project
parking would not depend upon any off-site, on-street parking spaces.
