EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (Langan) was retained to prepare a
transportation impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed three-level “Professional Services" facility
(Project) generally located at the southeast corner of Ocean Street and Beech Street. The site is
bordered on the north by Beech Street, on the south by the Beach Terrace Inn, on the west
Ocean Street, and on the east by Garfield Street. The project proposes the consolidation of 5
adjacent parcels identified by the following APNs: 203-144-04,-05, -06, -07, and -08. These
APNs correspond to 2710, 2720, 2730, and 2740 Ocean Street. The site is currently
undeveloped and fenced off – there are no structures on the site. The site is subject to the R-15
General Plan Land Use Designation and is Zoned R-3 with Beach Area Overlay. The proposed
land use is a conditionally permitted use within this zone.
Three curb cuts are currently provided along Garfield Street and Ocean Street, for a total of six
(6) curb cuts to the site. On-street parking (parallel) is provided along the site frontage on Ocean
Street, Beech Street, and Garfield Street – even in front of the existing curb cuts. The Project
proposes to consolidate vehicle access to Ocean Street, reducing the total site curb cuts from
six (6) to two (2). One driveway will accommodate an on-site passenger drop-off zone and the
other will function as the primary site driveway. Activation of the site driveways will inherently
remove approximately 50 feet of on-street parking. Additionally, mid-block pedestrian ramps on
Garfield Street and Ocean Street will remove approximately 45 feet of on-street parking. Along
Beech Avenue, five (5) back-in parking spaces are proposed in place of the three (3) existing
parallel parking spaces.
The Project will be operated under the same license as the adjacent Carlsbad by the Sea
Retirement Community and, functionally, will serve as an extension of the existing facilities.
The facility will consist of the following: Level 1 (Ocean Street Grade Level) includes 19
memory care licensed beds; Level 2 (Garfield Street Grade Level) includes 16 licensed
residential professional care beds within 10 units; Level 3 (Upper Level with Roof Terrace)
includes 7 licensed residential professional care beds within 5 units for a total of 42
professional care licensed beds. Table E1 summarizes the floor configurations and uses.

Level 1 19 Memory Care Beds in 19 Units 19
Level 2 16 Professional Care Beds in 10 Units 16
Level 3 7 Professional Care Beds in 5 Units 7
Total Beds 42
Langan estimated the number of daily and peak hour trips for the Project using the San Diego
Association of Governments (SANDAG) (Not So) Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation
Rates for the San Diego Region (2002). Langan estimated that the facility will generate
approximately 126 daily trips, 8 trips (5 enter, 3 exit) during the weekday morning peak hour
and 8 trips (3 enter, 5 exit) during the weekday evening peak hour.
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. Per the Scoping Agreement (Appendix B), it was determined that the project is not
subject to implementing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) or Transportation Supply
Management (TSM) strategies.
In accordance with the City’s TIA Guidelines (April 2018), the Scoping Agreement (Appendix B)
for a Level 1 TIA was developed. The analysis results are summarized below:
• Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) Analysis
o The existing pedestrian facilities along all study roadway segments achieved a
score of 90 or better, resulting in LOS A – it is expected to be maintained with
the addition of the Project. The existing pedestrian facilities along all study
roadway segments achieved a score of 70 or better, resulting in LOS C.
Improvements along Ocean Street will be required in order for the planned
Bicycle Boulevard to meet the design guidelines outlined in the CAMUTCD. With
the addition of CAMUTCD-compliant signs and pavement markings a score of
85, resulting in LOS B, will be achieved along Ocean Street. Therefore, the
performance standards are met.
iii
• Site Plan Review
o The Project will provide adequate site access and queueing area for the site
traffic. Existing sight obstructions at the proposed site driveways were identified
and mitigation measures were developed, to the extent feasible. The proposed
site plan does not result in new sight obstructions or an intensification of
existing sight obstructions.
Langan concludes that the Project will not substantially affect area traffic operations and can be
successfully integrated into the community.

INTRODUCTION
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (Langan) was retained to prepare a local
mobility analysis (LMA) for the proposed three-level professional services facility (Project)
generally located at the southeast corner of Ocean Street and Beech Street (see Exhibit 1). The
site is bordered on the north by Beech Street, on the south by the Beach Terrace Inn, on the
west Ocean Street, and on the east by Garfield Street. The project proposes the consolidation
of 5 adjacent parcels identified by the following APNs: 203-144-04,-05, -06, -07, and -08. These
APNs correspond to 2710, 2720, 2730, and 2740 Ocean Street. The site is currently
undeveloped and fenced off – there are no structures on the site. The site is subject to the R-15
General Plan Land Use Designation and is Zoned R-3 with Beach Area Overlay. The proposed
use is a conditionally permitted use within this zone.
Project Description
The Project will be operated under the same license as the adjacent Carlsbad by the Sea
Retirement Community and, functionally, will serve as an extension of the existing facilities.
The facility will consist of the following: Level 1 (Ocean Street Grade Level) includes 19
memory care licensed beds; Level 2 (Garfield Street Grade Level) includes 16 licensed
residential professional care beds within 10 units; Level 3 (Upper Level with Roof Terrace)
includes 7 licensed residential professional care beds within 5 units for a total of 42
professional care licensed beds. The site plan is provided in Appendix A. Table 1 summarizes
the floor configurations and uses.

The Project proposes two driveways along Ocean Street. One driveway will accommodate an
on-site passenger drop-off zone and the other will function as the primary site driveway. The
passenger drop-off zone driveway is proposed approximately 110 feet south of Beech Street.
The primary site driveway is proposed approximately 200 feet south of Beech Street – it will
provide two-way passenger vehicle access to/from the basement parking facility. Activation of

the site driveways will inherently remove approximately 50 feet of on-street parking.
Additionally, mid-block pedestrian ramps on Garfield Street and Ocean Street will remove
approximately 45 feet of on-street parking. Along Beech Avenue, five (5) back-in parking spaces
are proposed in place of the three (3) existing parallel parking spaces..
Scope of Analysis
In accordance with the City’s TIA Guidelines (April 2018), a Level 1 TIA is required. Additionally,
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. Per the Scoping Agreement (Appendix B), it was determined that the project is not
subject to implementing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) or Transportation Supply
Management (TSM) strategies.
The scope and requirements of the TIA are summarized below:
• The TIA will include a Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) analysis of applicable
pedestrian and bicycle facilities for the following roadway segments. Appendix E shows
the street typology for study segments and the applicable MMLOS analysis.
o Ocean Street from Beech Street to Christiansen Way
o Beech Street from Ocean Street to Garfield Street
o Garfield Street (Site Frontage)
• The TIA will include a Site Plan Review addressing the following:
o Site access;
o Queueing at the site driveway; and
o Site distances issues at site driveway.
• The Project meets the VMT screening criteria for proximity to transit, therefore it may
be presumed that the project will have a less than significant impact and does not
require a detailed VMT analysis. The VMT Screening Analysis is provided in Appendix D.
An inventory of the physical road conditions is presented in the section “Description of Existing
Conditions.”

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
This section describes the existing conditions of roadways in the study area.
Roads
Ocean Street
Ocean Street is a two-lane roadway classified as Village Street in the City of Carlsbad General
Plan Mobility Element. The primary purpose of this roadway type is to move people through the
Village, supporting accessibility to the adjacent businesses, residences, transit, and recreation
spaces within the Village area; safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists are prioritized.
A speed limit is not posted in the vicinity of the site; the speed limit for Village Streets is
generally 25 miles per hour. Sidewalks are provided along segments of its east side; the west
primarily features rear access for the beachfront residences. On-street parking (parallel) is
provided along some segments. Land uses along the roadway are residential in nature,
consisting of single-family residences, retirement communities, apartments, and beach resorts.
Beech Street
Beech Street is a two-lane roadway classified as Village Street in the City of Carlsbad General
Plan Mobility Element. The primary purpose of this roadway type is to move people through the
Village, supporting accessibility to the adjacent businesses, residences, transit, and recreation
spaces within the Village area; safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists are prioritized.
The speed limit is 25 miles per hour. Sidewalks are provided along both sides for the majority of
its length. On-street parking (parallel and angled) is generally provided along its entirety. Land
uses along the roadway are primarily residential but also include some commercial and
recreational spaces.
Christiansen Way
Christiansen Way is a two-lane roadway classified as Village Street in the City of Carlsbad
General Plan Mobility Element. The primary purpose of this roadway type is to move people
through the Village, supporting accessibility to the adjacent businesses, residences, transit, and
recreation spaces within the Village area; safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists are
prioritized. The speed limit is 25 miles per hour. Sidewalks are provided along segments of its
west and east sides. On-street parking (parallel) is provided along some segments. Land uses
along the roadway are primarily residential in nature, consisting of single-family residences,
retirement communities, and apartments.

Garfield Street
Garfield Street is a two-lane roadway classified as a Local / Neighborhood Street in the City of
Carlsbad General Plan Mobility Element. The primary purpose of this roadway type is to provide
local access; safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists are enhanced. The speed limit is
20 miles per hour. Sidewalks are provided along segments of its west and east sides. Land
uses are residential in nature, consisting of single-family residences, retirement communities,
and apartments.

MULTIMODAL LEVEL OF SERVICE (MMLOS) ANALYSIS
Analysis Criteria
The City of Carlsbad requires a multimodal level of service (MMLOS) analysis for vehicles,
pedestrians, bicycles and transit/rideshare for roadways based on their typology, as defined by
the City of Carlsbad Mobility Element. Depending on the typology, different streets may require
different MMLOS evaluations. The typology and associated analyses for study roadway
segments are summarized below. Appendix E shows the street typology for study segments
and the applicable MMLOS analysis.
• Ocean Street from Beech Street to Christiansen Way
o Village Street
• Beech Street from Ocean Street to Garfield Street
o Village Street
• Garfield Street along site frontage
o Local / Neighborhood Street
The accommodated modes subject to MMLOS analysis for these roadway typologies are
pedestrians and bicycles. It should be noted that the quality of conditions for bicyclists along
study roadway segments were assessed even if bicycle facilities do not currently exist and are
not proposed as part of the City of Carlsbad Sustainable Mobility Plan (2020) – Ocean Street is a
planned Bicycle Boulevard. The excerpts below from the City of Carlsbad TIA Guidelines (2018)
describe the attributes considered in the MMLOS analysis of pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Pedestrian MMLOS
Pedestrian MMLOS for pedestrian priority streets, the 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). In addition, the connectivity and contiguity of the pedestrian system along
street sections (particularly ADA-compliant connectivity/contiguity) is a critical component of
pedestrian priority streets.
LAN6AN
Local Mobility Analysis
Carlsbad by the Sea Summer House

Bicycle MMLOS
Bicycle MMLOS for bicycle priority streets, the 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). In addition, the connectivity and contiguity of the
bicycle system along street sections is a critical component of pedestrian priority streets.
Analysis Methodology
The City’s MMLOS methodology provides a qualitative “grade” assigned to travel modes,
ranging from a LOS A to LOS F. LOS A reflects a high service standard for a travel mode (e.g.
outstanding characteristics and experience for that mode) and LOS F would reflect a poor
service standard for a travel mode (e.g. congestion for vehicles, inadequate bicycle, pedestrian,
or transit facilities, etc.). The City’s General Plan established a standard of LOS D or better only
for the travel mode(s) subject to the MMLOS standard for the designated roadway typology.
Points were calculated using the City of Carlsbad MMLOS Tool (March 2020). The MMLOS
point scale is provided below.
LOS Point Score
A 90 – 100
B 80 – 89
C 70 – 79
D 60 – 69
E 50 – 59
F 0 – 49
Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit Performance Standards
A project would not meet the City’s performance standards if an existing pedestrian, bicycle or
transit facility is determined to not meet the LOS D standard regardless of the forecasted
number of project trips expected to use the facility. A facility is deemed deficient if:
1. An existing facility in the project study area does not meet the pedestrian, bicycle or
transit LOS standard, or
2. The project causes a standard facility to become substandard (e.g., removal of an
existing bike lane or bus stop, or blocking pedestrian access), or
LAN6AN
Local Mobility Analysis

3. A gap is identified in or directly adjacent to the study area related to pedestrian, bicycle
or transit service to the project site.
If the performance standards are exceeded, potential mitigation measures could include
constructing or a fair share contribution toward the financing of feasible capital improvement
projects related to pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities.
Analysis Results
The pedestrian and bicycle facilities along study roadway segments were evaluated for the
Existing + Project conditions using the City of Carlsbad’s interactive MMLOS Tool (March
2020). Appendix F contains the detailed MMLOS calculations. The pedestrian and bicycle
MMLOS analysis results are summarized in Table 4 and Table 5, respectively. Based on the
existing pedestrian facilities and associated amenities a score of 90 points or better, resulting in
LOS A, is achieved for along the study segments.

* Direction not studied as it is on the opposite side of the road of the project.
Based on the existing roadway conditions and bicycle amenities a score of 70 points or better,
resulting in LOS C or better, is achieved for along the study segments. Improvements along
Ocean Street will be required for the planned Bicycle Boulevard to meet the design guidelines
outlined in the California Manual on Uniform traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD). We expect
the improvement to primarily consist of signs and pavement markings – additional traffic
calming measures may be implemented based on the perceived need. The Project will
implement and/or contribute to improvements along Ocean Street per CIP #6078 – Ocean
Street Reconfiguration Concepts Study. With the addition of CAMUTCD-compliant signs and
pavement markings a score of 85, resulting in LOS B, will be achieved for Ocean Street.

Substantial Traffic Effects
We assessed the relevant pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities using the criteria and
thresholds established in the City’s TIA Guidelines. Based on the analysis results, substantial
traffic effects are not expected. The standards are addressed below:
1. All study roadway segments achieved a score of 70 or better, resulting in LOS C or
better. Thus, facilities meet the minimum threshold (LOS D).
2. The Project does not propose changes to the existing/planned pedestrian and bicycle
facilities/amenities along study roadway segments. The existing LOS is expected to be
preserved with the addition of the Project. Therefore, the Project will not cause a
standard facility to become substandard.
3. Pedestrian access points are proposed along Garfield Street and Ocean Street. There
are no gaps in the sidewalk network which critically affect the accessibility of the site.
Existing sidewalk gaps are shown in Exhibit 2 – these gaps cannot be feasibly closed as
the land is developed private property. The existing sidewalks bordering the site meet
minimum width requirements (5 feet) and will be preserved with the addition of the
Project. Thus, pedestrian accessibility to/from the site will be adequate. Furthermore,
roadway conditions for bicyclists are consistent along study segments.

SITE PLAN REVIEW
The site plan review includes an analysis of the Project’s site access, queueing, and driveway
sight distances. The summary of our assessment is provided below.
Site Access
Three curb cuts are currently provided along Garfield Street and Ocean Street, for a total of six
(6) curb cuts to the site – these curb cuts were previously constructed in anticipation of
providing access points to the individual parcels. On-street parking (parallel) is provided along
the site frontage along Ocean Street, Beech Street, and Garfield Street – even in front of the
existing curb cuts.
The Project proposes to consolidate vehicle access along Ocean Street, reducing the total site
curb cuts from six (6) to two (2). One driveway will accommodate an on-site passenger drop-off
zone and the other will function as the primary site driveway. The passenger drop-off zone
driveway is proposed approximately 110 feet south of Beech Street – it will provide access for
a single passenger vehicle access. The primary site driveway is proposed approximately 200
feet south of Beech Street – it will provide two-way passenger vehicle access to/from the
basement parking facility. Activation of the site driveways will inherently remove approximately
50 feet of on-street parking – roughly equivalent to the length of two vehicles.
The existing and proposed site access points are shown in Exhibit 3.
Queueing
The queueing at the main driveway was assessed using the design criteria established in
Chapter 4 (Private Street and Driveway Standards) of the City of Carlsbad Engineering
Standards Volume 1 General Design Standards (2022 Edition). The Project is required to provide
a queuing area for inbound traffic (at the main driveway) located off the traveled way that
serves the driveway. A minimum queueing area of 20 feet measured from face of curb, no less
than 10 feet in width, is required for every 1,000 ADT and fraction thereof.
The Project is estimated to generate 126 ADT, requiring a queueing area measuring 20 feet in
length by 10 feet in width. The Project proposes approximately 70 feet from the face of curb to
the entry point of the basement parking area. Therefore, the Project will provide adequate
queueing area.

Sight Distance
We developed sight triangles for the Project’s driveways based on the design criteria listed in
Table A of the City of Carlsbad Engineering Standards Volume 1 – General Design Standards,
2022 Edition and Caltrans Highway Design Manual Topic 405. The sight triangles seek to
establish a clear line of sight between the driver of a vehicle stopped at the site driveways and
the driver of an approaching vehicle along Ocean Street. Therefore, sight obstructions within
the sight triangles should be avoided and/or removed if possible. Sight obstructions are
considered to be objects with a height larger than 3.5 feet that are located in the sight triangles.
A minimum corner sight distance of 330 feet is required for the driveways along Ocean Street
(classified as a Village Street). The location of the driver’s eye in the stopped vehicle is referred
to as the decision point. The Caltrans Highway Design Manual Topic 405 requires a minimum
setback of 15 feet from the edge of travelled way. For the purpose of this analysis, the decision
point was established to be in the center of the driveway’s outbound lane and 2 feet from the
back of existing sidewalk – a total of 16 feet from the edge of the northbound travel lane.
Figure 1 shows the dimensions of the sight triangles; the sight triangles at site driveways are
shown in Exhibit 4 through Exhibit 6. The existing sight obstructions and mitigation measures
are summarized in Table 6. Exhibit 7 shows the existing sight obstructions.

The partial sight obstruction produced by utility poles/boxes and on-street parking are expected
to remain – these objects would remain within the clear sight triangles despite a relocation
(within the public right-of-way). We believe the sight obstructions are partially mitigated by the
speed limit of Ocean Street and proximity of site driveways to stop-controlled intersections.
The speed limit along Ocean Street is 25 miles per hour and both site driveways are within 250
feet of a stop-controlled intersection. The proposed site plan does not result in new sight
obstructions or an intensification of existing sight obstructions.

CONCLUSIONS
We conclude that the Project will not affect area traffic operations considerably and can be
successfully integrated into the community. We estimated that the facility will generate
approximately 126 daily trips, 8 trips (5 enter, 3 exit) during the weekday morning peak hour
and 8 trips (3 enter, 5 exit) during the weekday evening peak hour. The proposed site plan
proposes adequate site access as well as clear sight lines for outbound traffic; mitigation
measures were developed to remove and/or reduce the effect of existing sight obstructions.
The key findings of our analysis are summarized below:
• Transportation Demand and Supply Management (TDM / TSM) Requirements
o Per the Scoping Agreement, the Project will not add more than 110 ADT or 11
peak-hour trips in a single direction of travel to an exempt segment. The project
is not subject to implementing TDM and TSM strategies.
• Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) Analysis
o The existing pedestrian facilities along all study roadway segments achieved a
score of 90 or better, resulting in LOS A – exceeding the minimum threshold
(LOS D). There are no gaps in the sidewalk network which critically affect the
accessibility of the site. The existing sidewalks bordering the site meet the
minimum width requirement (5 feet) and will be preserved. The Project does not
propose changes to the existing pedestrian amenities; the MMLOS is expected
to be preserved with the addition of the Project. Therefore, the performance
standards are met.
o The existing condition of bicycle facilities along all study roadway segments
achieved a score of 70 or better, resulting in LOS C or better – exceeding the
minimum threshold (LOS D). Signs and pavement markings along Ocean Street
will be required in order for the planned Bicycle Boulevard to meet the design
guidelines outlined in the CAMUTCD. With the addition of CAMUTCD-compliant
signs and pavement markings a score of 85, resulting in LOS B, will be achieved
for Ocean Street. The Project will contribute financially to the improvements via
site development fees.

• Site Plan Review
o The Project proposes two (2) driveways along Ocean Street – one driveway will
accommodate a passenger drop-off zone and the other will function as the
primary site driveway. Activation of the site driveways will inherently remove
approximately 50 feet of on-street parking.
o Mid-block pedestrian ramps on Garfield Street and Ocean Street will inherently
remove approximately 45 feet of on-street parking.
o Along Beech Avenue, five (5) back-in parking spaces are proposed in place of the
three (3) existing parallel parking spaces.
o Based on the total ADT, a queueing area measuring 20 feet in length by 10 feet
in width is required. The Project proposes approximately 70 feet from the face of
curb to the entry point of the basement parking area. Therefore, the Project will
provide adequate queueing area.
o Existing sight obstructions were identified and mitigation measures were
developed, where feasible. Partial sight obstructions produced by utility
poles/boxes and on-street parking are expected to remain. The effects of the
sight obstructions are partially mitigated by the speed limit of Ocean Street (25
miles per hour) and proximity of site driveways to stop-controlled intersections
(less than 250 feet). The proposed site plan does not result in new sight
obstructions or an intensification of existing sight obstructions.

TDM / TSM Strategies Requirement
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. The nearest exempt segments in the vicinity of the project is El Camino Real (north of Marron Road). Based on the projected trip assignment, the amount of traffic in both directions would be
less than the 110 ADT and 11 peak-hour trips. As a result, it can be determined that the
amount of traffic in a single direction would be less than the established thresholds. As a result, the Project is not subject to implementing TDM and TSM strategies.

Langan Project No.: 70012520
Overview
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (Langan) has been retained to provide
traffic engineering services for the proposed Carlsbad by the Sea Summer House development
(Project) in Carlsbad, California. This memo summarizes the development of the Project’s
employee average daily trips (Employee ADT) in order to determine the Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) requirements for the Project.
The Project proposes the consolidation of 5 adjacent parcels for the development of a three-level
“Professional Services” building. The new building will serve as an extension of the existing
Carlsbad by the Sea facilities in the area and will be operated under the same license as the
adjacent Carlsbad by the Sea Retirement community. Table 1 summarizes the use and bed
configuration for each level of the facility.

Thresholds of Compliance
Per the City of Carlsbad TDM Handbook, “Proposed non-residential development projects with
trip generation estimates of 110 daily employee trips or more are subject to the transportation
demand management (TDM) ordinance and are required to complete and implement a Developer
TDM Plan.” The TDM requirements are based on the expected Employee ADT estimated using
the values presented in Table 3. However, it was determined that the Project’s Employee ADT
could not be accurately estimated using the values in Table 3 due to its unique nature. As a result,
a special consideration was approved for the Project by City staff; the approval and supporting
rationale is provided in Attachment A. The direction for the development of Employee ADT is
provided below:
Please approach the analysis by describing the employee operations within a 24
hour period and tallying the number of employees expected in a 24 hour period.
Determine number of employees providing care per unit or bed, number of shifts
in a 24 hour period, number of administrative employees, managers, etc.
Consultation with business representatives will likely be needed and referencing
other similar facilities either outside or inside the city will help support your data.

Trip Generation
We developed trip estimates for the Project using the San Diego Association of Government’s
(SANDAG) (Not So) Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region
(2002). The daily and peak hour rates for a “Convalescent / Nursing” facility are summarized in
Table 4. Trip generation estimates are provided in Table 5.

Site Operations
The Project will be operated as an expansion of the existing Carlsbad by the Sea retirement
community (see Figure 1). Although physically separated from each other the facilities generally
operate as a whole, allocating resources internally to service all residents/patients. Detailed site
operation and staffing information for the Carlsbad by the Sea Retirement Community was
provided by Front Porch Communities & Services (the manager/operator of the facilities). The
existing services and operations are detailed below.
Employee schedules are provided in Attachment B. It should be noted that the total number of
employees shown on the schedules reflect the staffing during a typical weekday. The total
amount of staff employed by the facilities may exceed those values described below to account
for the following: 1) weekend staffing and 2) full-time positions consisting of two or more part-
time employees that alternate days – while there are two employees, only one will be present
during a typical weekday.

Verification of Employee ADT
Employee ADT estimates were normalized using the ratio of Employee ADT per bed. The results
are summarized in Table 8. Overall, the Project’s Employee ADT per bed ratio is calculated to be
0.86 and is higher than the existing professional care services (0.53) and existing total (0.69).
Note: The ratio for skilled nursing is much higher than the other services due to the
aforementioned regulatory-mandated staffing ratios.

Conclusion
The Project’s operations during a typical weekday will require a total of 18 employees, resulting
in a total of 36 Employee ADT – this includes 12 Employee ADT to be generated by six (6)
hospitality staff currently employed with the existing Carlsbad by the Sea Main Building. The
threshold of 110 or more daily employee trips is not exceeded.
Based on the information provided herein, the Project is not subject to the City of Carlsbad TDM
ordinance. Acceptance by the City of Carlsbad of this determination would be made on the
premise that this memo provides an accurate representation of the Employee ADT for typical
weekday operations.

For TDM, we have accepted justification for uses within the “uses not listed may be subject to special consideration”
category. However, the analysis you provided basing the employee ADT from the 126 ADT on primary trip assumptions
does not provide satisfactory justification.
Please approach the analysis by describing the employee operations within a 24 hour period and tallying the number of
employees expected in a 24 hour period. Determine number of employees providing care per unit or bed, number of
shifts in a 24 hour period, number of administrative employees, managers, etc. Consultation with business

Subject: RE: [External] RE: Traffic Analysis Requirements
David – My responses below:
· VMT
o Thanks, just wanted to see if there were initial thoughts.
· TDM
o Applying the office rate of 13 ADT/1,000 SF is not appropriate. This is primarily due to the fact that this is
not a general office land use so the employee density is not the same – see snip below from TDM
Handbook describing the calibration. The grouping of this land use under “Hospital” as opposed to
“Office” in the SANDAG trip generation table also supports this difference. The unit by which trips are
estimated (beds vs. SF) is also different for this reason.
o Using the SANDAG rate, total daily site trips are estimated at 126. Using the rate for office uses, we
would get a minimum employee ADT of 491 which is larger than the total site trips. See snip below for
the calculation.
2 For all office categories. Calibrated based on typical number of employees/square 1
2
o Given the non-conformity with standard land uses in Table 2-2, the TDM Handbook’s guidance is that
“Uses not listed may be subject to special consideration.” I believe I provide a fair assessment and
provide additional reasoning below.
Based on 126 total (unreduced) daily trips, employee trips would need to account for 87% to
result in the 110-220 daily employee trips needed to meet the TDM threshold. The SANDAG trip
generation table notes the split of site trips as 73% primary, 25% diverted, and 2% pass-by.
Making a conservative assumption: If all primary trips (73%) were to be employee trips we
would expect that the threshold will not be met.
Let me know your thoughts.

Langan Project No.: 70012520
Overview
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (Langan) has been retained to provide
traffic engineering services for the proposed Carlsbad by the Sea Summer House development
(Project) in Carlsbad, California. This memorandum summarizes the applicability of vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) screening criteria.
Project Summary
The Project is to be located at the corner of Beech Street and Ocean Avenue and proposes the
consolidation of 5 adjacent parcels for the development of a three-level “Professional Services”
building. The new building will serve as an extension of the existing Carlsbad by the Sea facilities
in the area and will be operated under the same license as the adjacent Carlsbad by the Sea
Retirement community. The Project location is shown in Figure 1.
Table 1: Project Summary
Floor Configuration / Use Beds
Level 1 19 Memory Care Beds in 19 Units 19
Level 2 16 Professional Care Beds in 10 Units 16
Level 3 7 Professional Care Beds in 5 Units 7
Total Beds 42
Trip Generation Estimates
We developed trip estimates for the Project using the San Diego Association of Government’s
(SANDAG) (Not So) Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region

VMT Screening Assessment
The VMT screening criteria as provided in the City of Carlsbad VMT Analysis Guidelines (May 31,
2023) are detailed in Table 4 below. Projects that meet at least one of the criteria would be
presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact due to project type or location and
would not require a detailed VMT analysis. The Project is expected to meet the screening criteria
for proximity to transit.
Table 4: VMT Screening Criteria
Criteria Description Satisfied?
Small Projects Generate less than 110 ADT. No
Projects Located Near Transit
Within one half mile of the Carlsbad Village station,
Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster station, or the Plaza
Camino Real transit center (see Figure 2).
Yes
Local-Serving Facility Serves local community – little/no car use required. No
Affordable Housing Project 100% affordable housing in infill area. No
Net VMT Reduction
Proposed use results in a net reduction in the
relevant performance measure (VMT) compared to
the existing use.
No

Conclusion
Based on the information provided herein, the Project satisfies at least one of the VMT screening
criteria. The Project is 1,245 feet (0.24 miles) from the Carlsbad Village station, less than the
threshold of one-half mile to a major transit stop or corridor.
It is therefore determined that the project will have a less than significant impact and does not
require a detailed VMT analysis.
