AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $142,900
WHEREAS, the city began actively monitoring its downtown parking supply in 2017 with annual
parking counts of both on-street parking and off-street parking facilities conducted within the Village,
Barrio and Beach area during the summer (high-peak tourism season); and
WHEREAS, to provide a more holistic assessment of parking in the downtown area beyond
summer months, a comprehensive parking study must be prepared; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is necessary, desirable and in the public
interest, to acquire services of a parking management and planning firm to supplement the annual
parking data collection sets; and
WHEREAS, on Sept. 26, 2025, the city published a request for proposals inviting proposals for
the preparation of the Village, Barrio and Beach Area comprehensive parking study (RFP 26-02); and
WHEREAS, based on comprehensive evaluation criteria, a staff selection committee chose Evari
Consulting, Inc. (Evari) as the top-rated firm; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 operating budget for the
start of the new contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as
follows:
1.That the above recitations are true and correct.
2.Compliance with CEQA. The proposed professional service agreement is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, since the proposed action is not a
“project” as defined by CEQA Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a) and
does not require environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2)
because the action is limited to the execution of a professional service agreement to
provide planning services. The action has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment.

any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any
of them may be liable.

incorporated in this Agreement, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor, and,
upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability
for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed Contractor’s proportionate percentage of
fault.

CITY OF CARLSBAD VILLAGE, BARRIO, & BEACH AREA COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY | PROJECT NO. 26-02
TASK 1 – PARKING INVENTORY REVIEW AND DATA COLLECTION PREPARATION
Evari will begin the project with a comprehensive
review and validation of the existing 2024 Carlsbad
Parking Study inventory to ensure consistency,
accuracy, and readiness for the 2025 data collection
effort. This task will establish the baseline dataset and
system architecture for all subsequent fieldwork and
analysis.
Using Evari’s standardized GIS-based data
management framework, the team will compile and
cross-check all existing parking assets, on-street,
off-street, public, private, and NCTD facilities, within
the Village, Barrio, and Beach study area. Inventory
changes since 2024, including reconfigurations, new
developments, and temporary or seasonal facilities, will
be identified through plan review, aerial imagery, and
field verification.
To align with the City’s GIS environment, Evari
will develop a standardized geodatabase schema
that ensures compatibility with the City’s existing
systems and facilitates future data integration. Field
verification will utilize GIS-equipped tablets and 360°
camera imagery, enabling technicians to confirm stall
counts, parking restrictions, access points, and facility
conditions with spatial precision. All data will undergo
multi-step QA/QC validation before acceptance into
the project database.
Deliverables:
•Kickoff coordination meeting with City staff to
review data standards, schedule, and system
integration requirements.
•Updated GIS-based parking inventory
shapefile and attribute schema.
•Metadata documentation detailing sources,
structure, and update protocols.
•QA/QC verification log summarizing validation
methods and field findings.
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION
TASK 2A – PARKING SURVEYS OVER A 12-MONTH PERIOD
Evari will perform a comprehensive, year-round parking
utilization survey across the Village, Barrio, and Beach
areas, consistent with the City’s requirement for a
12-month data collection period. The objective is to
capture representative occupancy conditions during
varying seasons, days of the week, and times of day to
build a complete picture of parking demand patterns.
Field data collection will employ Evari’s vehicle-
mounted 360-degree camera system, which captures
high-resolution panoramic imagery linked to precise
GPS coordinates. This method allows for full visual
coverage of each corridor and facility, eliminating
many of the data gaps typical of LPR systems, such as
obscured plates, closely parked vehicles, or temporary
tags. Vehicles will be identified using type, color, and
unique configuration attributes, providing multiple
cross-checks for verification.
Post-collection, imagery will be reviewed in the office
using Evari’s automated GIS processing tools to extract
occupancy counts and spatially map results. Where
necessary, aerial imagery validation will be used to
confirm coverage and correct anomalies.
Aerial imagery validation will be conducted using the
NearMap Aerial Imagery Service, a commercially-
available high-resolution imagery platform. NearMap
provides orthorectified aerial imagery that allows
Evari to visually verify spatial coverage, confirm facility
boundaries, and capacity data in areas where 360°
field imagery may be incomplete or obstructed. This
method eliminates the need for drone deployment.
Consistent with the RFP addenda, Evari proposes to
conduct three survey days per quarter throughout the
12-month study period, for a total of 12 individual
study days. Each quarter will include a combination
of weekday and weekend observations to ensure
representative coverage of both routine weekday
demand and higher-variation weekend activity.

CITY OF CARLSBAD VILLAGE, BARRIO, & BEACH AREA COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY | PROJECT NO. 26-02
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
Each quarterly round will include:
• Two weekday observations (capturing morning,
midday, and evening conditions), and
• One weekend observation to assess visitor and
recreational parking behavior.
This approach ensures representative sampling across
both temporal and seasonal variations.
Private facilities will be surveyed through point-in-
time occupancy counts conducted by trained field
technicians using GIS-equipped tablets and 360°
camera systems. Each facility will be visited during a
representative demand period (typically midday), and
the total number of occupied and available spaces will
be recorded.
Where access is available, Evari will coordinate with
property owners to confirm operating hours and usage
characteristics. Results will be incorporated into the
unified GIS database to provide a complete picture of
private and public parking resources.
TASK 2B – ON-SITE INTERCEPT SURVEYS
To complement the quantitative occupancy data,
Evari will conduct on-site intercept surveys to capture
qualitative insights into parking behavior and user
experience. These surveys will help the City understand
who is parking, why they are visiting, how long they
stay, and how they perceive parking availability and
accessibility across the Village, Barrio, and Beach areas.
Evari maintains a national network of trained GIS field
technicians. All field personnel are trained to engage
with the public appropriately for each assignment,
including intercept survey contexts, and to follow
project-specific communication protocols established
by Evari’s project management team.
Field technicians will use GIS-equipped tablets to
collect intercept responses directly in the field at high-
demand destinations such as downtown commercial
blocks, beach access points, and residential-adjacent
streets. Surveys will include questions on trip purpose,
parking duration, travel mode, and frequency of visits,
among other key factors.
To ensure inclusivity, surveys will be administered
in both English and Spanish and scheduled during
representative high- and low-demand periods,
including weekdays, weekends, and seasonal peak
times. All survey data will be uploaded directly into
Evari’s live ArcGIS dashboard, allowing City staff
to monitor participation rates, review geographic
distribution, and access real-time summaries as data is
collected.
Evari will develop an Intercept Survey Memo as a
standalone section within the final report, summarizing
survey methods, participation metrics, and key
findings. The memo will also be available as a separate,
extractable PDF for ease of reference.
Deliverables:
•Raw and processed occupancy datasets for
each collection round.
•GIS-referenced 360° imagery archive and
metadata.
•Quality assurance summary detailing accuracy
checks, completeness metrics, and corrections
applied.
•Quarterly coordination meetings with City staff
to review interim findings and validate seasonal
coverage.
•GIS-enabled intercept survey dataset with all
responses georeferenced and time-stamped.
•Summary memo, including tables and
visualizations integrated into the live project
dashboard.
•Bilingual web-based survey (English/
Spanish) for City review and approval prior to
deployment.

CITY OF CARLSBAD VILLAGE, BARRIO, & BEACH AREA COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY | PROJECT NO. 26-02
TASK 3 – ANALYSIS AND
DOCUMENTATION
TASK 3A – COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY INTEGRATION
Evari will integrate the newly collected 2026 parking
dataset with the City’s previous datasets from the 2017
Village, Barrio & Beach Area Parking Management
Plan and the 2024 Carlsbad Parking Study to
establish a continuous, multi-year parking record. Any
additional datasets available for the years between
2017 and 2024 will also be incorporated if deemed
appropriate by the City Project Manager.
This integration will create a single, unified data
environment that enables the City to track long-term
trends and evaluate the impact of development, policy
changes, and seasonal fluctuations.
The project team will conduct cross-year comparisons
to quantify changes in parking supply, occupancy, and
utilization patterns. These analyses will identify where
parking demand has increased, where capacity has
shifted, and how user behavior has evolved over time.
Evari’s GIS-based approach allows these comparisons
to be spatially precise, enabling the City to visualize
patterns block by block and facility by facility.
As part of this task, Evari will also review prior
methodologies, particularly those used in the 2024
Carlsbad Parking Study, to identify any inconsistencies
or data limitations that could affect trend accuracy.
Findings will be documented transparently, ensuring
methodological continuity and clear traceability across
study years.
TASK 3B – ISSUES & EXISTING SUPPLY/OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Using the unified dataset developed in Task 3a, Evari
will conduct a detailed analysis of existing parking
supply and utilization across the Village, Barrio,
and Beach areas. This analysis will identify patterns,
problem areas, and opportunities for improved
management based purely on observed data.
PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK
Evari will generate GIS-based heat maps and statistical
summaries segmented by neighborhood, parking type
(on-street, off-street, public, private), and facility size.
These visual and quantitative outputs will illustrate
spatial and temporal trends in parking behavior,
enabling the City to pinpoint locations of persistent
congestion or underutilization.
The analysis will specifically identify high-occupancy
zones (defined as areas exceeding 85 % utilization), as
well as lots or streets that remain consistently below
target occupancy thresholds. Time-of-day and day-
of-week comparisons will be performed to evaluate
morning, midday, and evening peaks, while seasonal
trend analyses will distinguish summer demand from
off-season conditions. Additionally, parking activity near
transit nodes, business districts, and coastal access
points will be analyzed to understand how modal and
trip-purpose variations influence overall demand.
TASK 3C – FUTURE SUPPLY/OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Evari will evaluate how future development projects,
zoning changes, and state policy directives may
influence parking demand and availability within the
Village, Barrio, and Beach areas. This task will ensure
that the City’s parking data framework remains forward-
looking and adaptable to regulatory and land use
shifts.
The analysis will incorporate planned and entitled
developments identified in the Village and Barrio
Master Plan, as well as legislative impacts such
as California AB 2097, which limits local parking
minimums near major transit stops. These factors
will be modeled to assess potential changes in both
parking supply and user demand across the study area.
Using Evari’s GIS-based analytical engine, the team will
conduct scenario simulations to estimate how varying
assumptions, such as development completion, shared
parking arrangements, or parking policy adjustments,
could affect overall system performance. Outputs will
include spatially mapped visualizations showing where
additional demand pressure or excess capacity may
occur under each scenario.

Carlsbad, CA 92008
RE: Proposal for Village, Barrio, and Beach Area Comprehensive Parking Study (RFP 26-02)
Dear Ms. Dan and Members of the Selection Committee,
Evari Consulting is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Carlsbad for the Village, Barrio, and Beach Area
Comprehensive Parking Study (RFP 26-02). As a San Diego-based firm specializing in GIS-driven data collection,
analysis, and visualization for parking, transportation, and infrastructure systems, we are excited to support the City’s
continued leadership in evidence-based parking management.
Our team understands that this study represents the next phase in a long-term effort to manage and balance
parking demand in Carlsbad’s coastal districts. The 2017 Village, Barrio, and Beach Area Parking Management
Plan and the 2024 Carlsbad Parking Study have established an invaluable foundation of data and insight.
Building upon that foundation, Evari’s approach focuses on comprehensive, year-round data collection using
advanced 360-degree camera technology, a major evolution from traditional license plate recognition (LPR)
methods. This eliminates many of the accuracy challenges documented in prior studies, including missed or
obstructed plates, double-parked vehicles, and temporary tags. By collecting richer visual datasets tied directly to
GIS, we will deliver a complete and verifiable understanding of parking behaviors throughout the Village, Barrio,
and Beach areas.
Evari’s local presence and deep experience with coastal municipalities aligns with Carlsbad’s operational and
environmental context. From managing field logistics in dynamic beach environments to integrating with the City’s
GIS systems, our team brings the precision, flexibility, and responsiveness that this year-long effort demands.
This project will be managed by me, Brian Gaze, AICP, Evari’s CEO. Brian will be the primary contact and responsible
for day-to-day coordination, QA/QC, and overall project delivery. He will be supported by Carl Sorenson, Senior GIS
Analyst, and a team of local field technicians. Studio Davis will serve in an advisory and technical capacity, providing
expertise in parking system methodology and continuity with previous plans.
We appreciate the opportunity to continue Carlsbad’s data-driven parking management journey and to contribute an
efficient, transparent, and technically advanced approach to this study. Evari acknowledges receipt of Addendum 1
to RFP 26-02 and has incorporated all clarifications into this proposal.
Thank you for considering our submission. We look forward to the opportunity to work closely with City staff to
deliver a comprehensive, high-quality dataset and analysis framework that supports Carlsbad’s ongoing mobility and
community development goals.
Sincerely,
Brian Gaze, AICP – CEO

44CITY OF CARLSBAD VILLAGE, BARRIO, & BEACH AREA COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY | PROJECT NO. 26-02
03. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
3.1 BACKGROUND
The City of Carlsbad has demonstrated a long-standing
commitment to understanding and managing parking
within the Village, Barrio, and Beach areas, which serve
as the city’s cultural, residential, and visitor cores. This
commitment began with the 2017 Village, Barrio &
Beach Area Parking Management Plan, prepared by
Dixon Resources Unlimited, which established the initial
framework for managing parking supply, utilization, and
policy direction.
Building upon that foundation, the 2024 Carlsbad
Parking Study provided updated data and analysis but
was limited in scope to a short-term, seasonal snapshot
focused primarily on summer peak conditions. While
useful for identifying near-term occupancy patterns, it
did not capture the full range of seasonal and temporal
variation needed to support long-term management
decisions.
The current effort under RFP 26-02 seeks to address that
gap through comprehensive, year-round data collection
and analysis. The City’s objective is to integrate all prior
datasets, 2017, 2024, and new 2026 collections, into
a single, unified framework that provides an accurate,
evidence-based foundation for future parking policy,
investment, and operations.
3.2 STUDY OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study is to provide the City
of Carlsbad with a comprehensive, year-round
understanding of parking conditions across the Village,
Barrio, and Beach areas. Over a 12-month period, Evari
Consulting will conduct a detailed parking inventory and
utilization analysis using advanced, GIS-integrated data
collection technologies designed to ensure accuracy,
completeness, and consistency.
Key objectives include:
• Comprehensive Data Collection: Capture
occupancy and turnover trends across all
on-street and off-street facilities throughout all
seasons, days of the week, and time periods.
• Validation and Comparison: Integrate and
validate new data against the 2017 Parking
Management Plan and the 2024 Carlsbad
Parking Study to identify trends, changes in
supply, and evolving demand patterns.
• Unified Data Platform: Develop a cloud-
based interactive dashboard that consolidates
all datasets for real-time visualization, quality
assurance, and City review.
• Final Documentation: Produce a final report
and presentation that summarize findings,
describe data integrity and methodology, and
provide the City with a transparent, reproducible
foundation for ongoing parking management.

3.3 STUDY AREA CONTEXT
The Village, Barrio, and Beach areas represent the heart of Carlsbad’s urban core and serve distinct but interrelated roles
within the city’s transportation and land use network. Together, they form a diverse parking environment that supports
residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the year.
The study area is also directly served by North County Transit District (NCTD) facilities, including the Carlsbad
Village Station, which introduces a multimodal dynamic to parking behavior. Proximity to transit, commercial
destinations, and the coastline creates overlapping parking influences that require a data-driven, spatially precise
approach, one uniquely suited to Evari’s GIS-based methodology.
A compact, mixed-use district
that functions as Carlsbad’s
downtown core. It includes retail,
dining, offices, and multifamily
housing, resulting in steady, all-
day parking demand influenced
by both local employees and
visitors.
Primarily residential with
emerging small businesses
and infill development.
Parking patterns here are more
neighborhood-oriented, with
higher reliance on on-street
spaces and increased evening
and weekend activity from
residents and local patrons.
A visitor-intensive coastal zone
experiencing the highest parking
turnover and demand peaks
during weekends, holidays,
and summer months. Parking is
influenced heavily by recreational
access, short-term stays, and
tourism.

TASK 1 – PARKING INVENTORY REVIEW AND DATA COLLECTION PREPARATION
Evari will begin the project with a comprehensive
review and validation of the existing 2024 Carlsbad
Parking Study inventory to ensure consistency,
accuracy, and readiness for the 2025 data collection
effort. This task will establish the baseline dataset and
system architecture for all subsequent fieldwork and
analysis.
Using Evari’s standardized GIS-based data
management framework, the team will compile and
cross-check all existing parking assets, on-street,
off-street, public, private, and NCTD facilities, within
the Village, Barrio, and Beach study area. Inventory
changes since 2024, including reconfigurations, new
developments, and temporary or seasonal facilities, will
be identified through plan review, aerial imagery, and
field verification.
To align with the City’s GIS environment, Evari
will develop a standardized geodatabase schema
that ensures compatibility with the City’s existing
systems and facilitates future data integration. Field
verification will utilize GIS-equipped tablets and 360°
camera imagery, enabling technicians to confirm stall
counts, parking restrictions, access points, and facility
conditions with spatial precision. All data will undergo
multi-step QA/QC validation before acceptance into
the project database.
04. PROJECT APPROACH
Deliverables:
• Kickoff coordination meeting with City staff to
review data standards, schedule, and system
integration requirements.
• Updated GIS-based parking inventory
shapefile and attribute schema.
• Metadata documentation detailing sources,
structure, and update protocols.
• QA/QC verification log summarizing validation
methods and field findings.
TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION
TASK 2A – PARKING SURVEYS OVER A 12-MONTH PERIOD
Evari will perform a comprehensive, year-round parking
utilization survey across the Village, Barrio, and Beach
areas, consistent with the City’s requirement for a
12-month data collection period. The objective is to
capture representative occupancy conditions during
varying seasons, days of the week, and times of day to
build a complete picture of parking demand patterns.

04. PROJECT APPROACH
Field data collection will employ Evari’s vehicle-
mounted 360-degree camera system, which captures
high-resolution panoramic imagery linked to precise
GPS coordinates. This method allows for full visual
coverage of each corridor and facility, eliminating
many of the data gaps typical of LPR systems, such as
obscured plates, closely parked vehicles, or temporary
tags. Vehicles will be identified using type, color, and
unique configuration attributes, providing multiple
cross-checks for verification.
Post-collection, imagery will be reviewed in the office
using Evari’s automated GIS processing tools to extract
occupancy counts and spatially map results. Where
necessary, aerial imagery validation will be used to
confirm coverage and correct anomalies.
Consistent with Addendum 1, Evari will conduct
at least four seasonal rounds of complete surveys
(quarterly), ensuring representation of summer, fall,
winter, and spring conditions. Public facilities will
be observed twelve times over the study period to
capture fluctuations in demand, while private facilities
will be surveyed at least once comprehensively, with
additional rounds as approved by City staff.
TASK 2B – ON-SITE INTERCEPT SURVEYS
To complement the quantitative occupancy data,
Evari will conduct on-site intercept surveys to capture
qualitative insights into parking behavior and user
experience. These surveys will help the City understand
who is parking, why they are visiting, how long they
stay, and how they perceive parking availability and
accessibility across the Village, Barrio, and Beach areas.
Trained field technicians will use GIS-equipped tablets
to collect responses directly in the field at high-demand
destinations such as downtown commercial blocks,
beach access points, and residential-adjacent streets.
Surveys will include questions on trip purpose, parking
duration, travel mode, and frequency of visits, among
other key factors.
To ensure inclusivity, surveys will be administered
in both English and Spanish and scheduled during
representative high- and low-demand periods,
including weekdays, weekends, and seasonal peak
times. All survey data will be uploaded directly into
Evari’s live ArcGIS dashboard, allowing City staff
to monitor participation rates, review geographic
distribution, and access real-time summaries as data is
collected.

TASK 3 – ANALYSIS AND
DOCUMENTATION
TASK 3A – COMPREHENSIVE PARKING STUDY INTEGRATION
Evari will integrate the newly collected 2026 parking
dataset with the City’s previous datasets from the 2017
Village, Barrio & Beach Area Parking Management
Plan and the 2024 Carlsbad Parking Study to
establish a continuous, multi-year parking record.
This integration will create a single, unified data
environment that enables the City to track long-term
trends and evaluate the impact of development, policy
changes, and seasonal fluctuations.
The project team will conduct cross-year comparisons
to quantify changes in parking supply, occupancy, and
utilization patterns. These analyses will identify where
parking demand has increased, where capacity has
shifted, and how user behavior has evolved over time.
Evari’s GIS-based approach allows these comparisons
to be spatially precise, enabling the City to visualize
patterns block by block and facility by facility.
As part of this task, Evari will also review prior
methodologies, particularly those used in the 2024
Carlsbad Parking Study, to identify any inconsistencies
or data limitations that could affect trend accuracy.
Findings will be documented transparently, ensuring
methodological continuity and clear traceability across
study years.

TASK 3B – ISSUES & EXISTING SUPPLY/OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Using the unified dataset developed in Task 3a, Evari
will conduct a detailed analysis of existing parking
supply and utilization across the Village, Barrio,
and Beach areas. This analysis will identify patterns,
problem areas, and opportunities for improved
management based purely on observed data.
Evari will generate GIS-based heat maps and statistical
summaries segmented by neighborhood, parking type
(on-street, off-street, public, private), and facility size.
These visual and quantitative outputs will illustrate
spatial and temporal trends in parking behavior,
enabling the City to pinpoint locations of persistent
congestion or underutilization.
The analysis will specifically identify high-occupancy
zones (defined as areas exceeding 85 % utilization), as
well as lots or streets that remain consistently below
target occupancy thresholds. Time-of-day and day-
of-week comparisons will be performed to evaluate
morning, midday, and evening peaks, while seasonal
trend analyses will distinguish summer demand from
off-season conditions. Additionally, parking activity near
transit nodes, business districts, and coastal access
points will be analyzed to understand how modal and
trip-purpose variations influence overall demand.
TASK 3C – FUTURE SUPPLY/OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
Evari will evaluate how future development projects,
zoning changes, and state policy directives may
influence parking demand and availability within the
Village, Barrio, and Beach areas. This task will ensure
that the City’s parking data framework remains forward-
looking and adaptable to regulatory and land use
shifts.
The analysis will incorporate planned and entitled
developments identified in the Village and Barrio
Master Plan, as well as legislative impacts such
as California AB 2097, which limits local parking
minimums near major transit stops. These factors
will be modeled to assess potential changes in both
parking supply and user demand across the study area.
Using Evari’s GIS-based analytical engine, the team will
conduct scenario simulations to estimate how varying
assumptions, such as development completion, shared
parking arrangements, or parking policy adjustments,
could affect overall system performance. Outputs will
include spatially mapped visualizations showing where
additional demand pressure or excess capacity may
occur under each scenario.

project completion. The City will receive all source files
in standard, open formats.
Evari will retain ownership of its proprietary data
processing tools, scripts, and algorithms used to clean,
validate, and visualize collected data. These systems
are internal intellectual property developed by Evari
09. DATA MANAGEMENT & OWNERSHIP
to ensure consistent QA/QC and analysis across
projects; however, all outputs derived from those
tools will remain fully accessible to the City.
During the course of the project, Evari will provide
secure dashboard hosting and maintenance through
its ArcGIS Online environment to enable live access
and collaboration among City staff, consultants,
and project stakeholders. At project close-out, the
dashboard and all associated data will be transferred
to the City’s GIS system or other designated
platform to ensure continued usability and archival
preservation.
Evari’s 2025 study builds directly upon that
foundation, introducing a more comprehensive,
technology-driven, and verifiable approach designed
to strengthen the City’s long-term parking data
framework.
By addressing the methodological gaps of the 2024 study
and adding a continuous, verifiable data framework, Evari’s
2025 effort will give the City of Carlsbad a comprehensive,
defensible, and future-ready understanding of its parking
system, one that can support both near-term operational
adjustments and long-term planning initiatives.
10. ADVANCING THE 2024 CARLSBAD PARKING STUDY
The 2024 Carlsbad Parking Study, completed by Dixon Resources Unlimited, provided an important update to
the City’s understanding of parking conditions within the Village, Barrio, and Beach areas. However, that effort was
limited in both temporal coverage and data completeness, capturing a snapshot of summer demand rather than
the year-round parking dynamics that characterize Carlsbad’s coastal environment.

City of Carlsbad, CA – Village Decorative Lighting Design Services,
Project Director Brian is managing Evari’s work on this current project
designed to identify lighting deficiencies in Carlsbad Village. As part of
this effort, the Evari team is conducting extensive fieldwork in Carlsbad
Village, including illumination readings, photo documentation of
existing lighting, pull boxes, and street trees. The fieldwork will yield
detailed illumination maps to support 30% design recommendations for
improvements to the downtown streetscape.
City of Carlsbad, CA – Sustainable Mobility Plan, Project Manager
Brian was the lead author of the City’s successful grant submission to
Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant Program, and served as the
Project Manager on the implementation of the grant-funded project, which
involved analyzing existing walking and bicycling travel networks, resident
and visitor travel patterns, and streetscape features to identify a series of
infrastructure and programmatic improvements citywide, with a particular
emphasis on Carlsbad Village.
City of Vista, CA – Streetlight Inventory, Project Director Brian
managed the completion of a GIS-based data collection effort for the
Townsite and North Townsite neighborhoods of Vista, CA, collecting
data and capturing photos of approximately 850 fixtures identified by
community members as needing improvement. In addition to daytime
fieldwork, Evari completed a nighttime assessment to determine streetlight
functionality as well as a post-audit reconciliation with the original dataset.
Using the data collected, Evari developed a 3D GIS-based digital twin to
depict the streetlighting of the project area, including both 2D and 3D
renderings of illumination to facilitate decision making for installing new
LED fixtures with resident input.
