2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Icetown Skateoplex Sports Center project site is located at 2283 Cosmos Court, west of El
Camino Real and South of Palomar Airport Road, in the City of Carlsbad. The project proposes to
locate an ice training facility within an existing 27,013 square foot building.
The Skateoplex Sports Center wil! consist of a regulation ice surface (approximately 16,150 sf) with
dasher boards and tempered glass surrounding the rink, as well as changing rooms, a
classroom/study area, coaches room, referee room, zamboni room, storage rooms, a full service pro
shop, and a snack bar. No spectator seating is proposed at this time.
The Center's primary use will be for training and education on skills and techniques in figure
skating, hockey, and individual team practices. Skating lessons for figure skating and hockey will be
offered through the Carlsbad Parks and Recreation program and the home school physical education
program.
During the late morning hours figure skating and freestyle sessions will be held, with no more than
20 skaters on the ice surface at any one time. The Carlsbad Parks and Recreafion and afterschool
learn to skate programs will be scheduled during the aftemoon sessions throughout the week and
sometimes on weekends. The class sizes will be determined by age group with class participation
between ten to fifteen students per division.
The Skateoplex Sports Center will not host youth or adult hockey tournaments or skating
competitions.

4.0 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Level of service (LOS) is the term used to denote the different operating conditions which occur on a
given roadway segment under various traffic volume loads. It is a qualitative measure used to
describe a quantitative analysis taking into account factors such as roadway geometries, signal
phasing, speed, travel delay, freedom to maneuver, and safety. Level of service provides an index to
the operational qualities of a roadway segment or an intersection. Level of service designations
range from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F representing
the worst operating conditions. Level of service designation is reported differently for signalized and
unsignalized intersections, as well as for roadway segments.
4.1.1 Intersections
Per City of Carlsbad standards, the signalized and unsignalized intersections were analyzed using the
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method for Existing and Existing + Project conditions.
The ICU procedure is based on an article in the Institute of Transportation Engineers Joumal,
August 1978 and assumes the traffic flow characteristics of signalized intersections. It computes the
Level of Service (LOS) for the total intersection based upon a summation of volume to capacity
(V/C) ratios for the key conflicting movements. The ICU numerical value represents the percent of
signal green time, and thus, the capacity required to serve the traffic demand. The LOS for
signalized intersections varies from A (free flow, little delay) to F ("heavy congestion" conditions).
ICU methodology and calculation worksheets can be found \n Appendix B,
4.1.2 Street Segments
Per City of Carlsbad standards, the street segments in the project area were analyzed on a peak hour
basis. The midblock peak hour volumes were utilized to calculate volume to capacity ratio (V/C) for
each direction of the street segment. The City of Carlsbad assumes a one-direction capacity of 1,800
vehicles per hour per lane for through lanes. A Level of service (LOS) is determined by using V/C
thresholds.

5.0 SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
As outlined in the City of Carlsbad's Growth Management Plan, a traffic impact is considered to be
significant if the addition of project traffic causes the intersection or street segment LOS to decrease
to worse than LOS D during the peak hour.
For intersections or street segments which are currently operating worse than LOS D, a project
impact will be considered significant if the project causes the ICU value at an intersection to increase
by more than 0.02 or the volume-to-capacity ratio at a segment to increase by more than 0.02.

7.0 TRIP GENERATION/DISTRIBUTION/ASSIGNMENT
The Icetown Skateoplex Sports Center proposes to locate an ice training facility within an existing
27,013 square foot building, which will consist of one regulation ice surface (approximately 16,150
sf).
Typically, per City of Carlsbad standards, trip generation is based on rates provided in SANDAG's
Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region. However, since
SANDAG does not provide a rate for ice skating rinks or any similar land use, trip generation
estimates for the proposed project were based on a site-specific trip generation rate calculated by
obtaining ADT volumes at the existing Riverside Icetown location. The existing Riverside Icetown
will ^e-serve as the headquarters for operations of the proposed Skateoplex Sports Center. Open
since 1997, Riverside Icetown is a 61,450 square foot facility including two regulation ice surfaces
and offers public skating sessions, freestyle skating, birthday parties, skating lessons, spectator
seating, and a hockey program for youths and adults.
ADT counts at the Riverside Icetown driveways were conducted on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, when
both ice rinks were fully occupied and programmed. The counts show that 672 ADT was generated
by the 2 rink facility, or 336 ADT per rink. Therefore it was concluded that the proposed Skateoplex
Sports Center, consisfing on one rink, will generate 336 ADT. PM peak hour trip generation
estimates were calculated using a similar methodology. No trip credits for the land use / entitlements
of the existing building were conservatively assumed in this analysis.
It should be noted that the ice skating rink rate was calculated using the number of rinks as the
independent variable since the rinks are the primary trip attracter, as opposed to the square footage.
This approach also yields the highest trip generation for the project.
Further information regarding the site specific trip generation rate can be found in Appendix D.
7.1 Trip Generation
Table 7-1 tabulates the total project traffic generation. The project is calculated to generate
approximately 336 ADT with 12 inbound / 21 outbound trips during the PM commuter peak hour.

9.0 LONG-TERM (YEAR 2035) ANALYSIS
The foiiowing section presents the analvsis of studv area intersecfions and street segments
under Long-Term (Year 2035) conditions with and without the proposed proiect.
9.1 Long-Term (Year 2035) Traffic Volumes
Long-Term ("Year 2035") traffic volumes were forecasted for the studv area using the SANDAG
Series 12 Year 2035 traffic model. The volumes on Palomar Airport Road were factored up as the
model appears to under represent future traffic. The traffic volumes represent LLG's best efforts of
forecasfing Long-Term (Year 2035) conditions with the most recent modeling information available
at the time this report was prepared. No improvements to the roadwav network were assumed under
Long-Term condifions.
Further information on the SANDAG Series 12 model can be found in Appendix F.
Based on the projected forecast ADT volumes, the Long-Term (Year 2035) PM peak hour volumes
were calculated based on the existing relationship between ADT and peak hour volumes. The
forecast volumes were also checked for consistency between intersections, where no drivewavs or
roadways exist between intersections, and were compared to existing volumes for accuracv.
Figure 9-1 shows the forecasted Long-Term (Year 2035) traffic volumes, and Figure 9-2
shows the Long-Term (Year 2035) + Proiect traffic volumes.
9.2 Long-Term (Year 2035) Analvsis
9.2.1 Intersection Operations
Table 9-1 summarizes the intersecfion operations under Long-Term (Year 2035) condifions. As

SKATEOPLEX SPORTS CENTER
M10.0 CONCLUSIONS
The proposed Skateoplex Sports Center will consist of a regulation ice surface (approximately
16,150 sf) with dasher boards and tempered glass surrounding the rink, as well as changing rooms, a
classroom/study area, coaches room, referee room, zamboni room, storage rooms, a full service pro
shop, and a snack bar. No spectator seating is proposed at this time.
The proposed project was calculated to generate 336 ADT with 12 inbound / 21 outbound trips
during the PM commuter peak hour.
The project was calculated to have no significant impacts at any of the study area intersections or
street segments under Existing + Proiect or Long-Tern (Year 2035) + Proiect conditions during the
PM commuter peak hour.
