NESTE, BRUDIN & STONE INCORPORATED DISTRICT ENGINEER Filed in the OFFICE of the CITY CLERK of the CITY of CARLSBAD this day of , 1986. CITY CLERK CITY OF CARLSBAD Page 1 of 1 ENGINEER'S REPORT PART I BACKGROUND FOR DISTRICT CITY OF CARLSBAD BRIDGE AND THOROUGHFARE BENEFIT DISTRICT NO. 1 City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, Section 20.08.140 entitled "Bridge Crossing and Major Thoroughfares", makes provision for assessing and collecting fees as a condition of issuing a building permit for the purpose of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing bridges or major thorough- fares pursuant to Section 66484 of the Government Code of the State of California. Interstate 5 of the state highway system was constructed by the State Department of Transportation. Three of the interchanges were constructed to interim standards and additional improvements to the facilities are required as properties develop requiring increased access to the Interstate system. The three interchanges are: a. Palomar Airport Road b. Poinsettia Lane c. La Costa Avenue In general, the needed improvements include bridge widening, reconstruction or construction of on/off ramps, signalization of on/off ramps, roadway approaches, signing, striping and appurtanent work. The State Department of Transportation does not fund additional improvements to these interchanges that are needed due to increased traffic generation from development of private lands. The estimated construction cost of the improvements to the three interchanges are as set forth in Part III of this Engineer's Report. The exterior boundaries of the District are as shown on a map marked Exhibit "A" and being Part II of this Engineer's Report. Properties that have been improved by the construction of structures and/or building permits have been issued and the issuance . of further buildings permits is extremely doubtful, have been excluded from the boundaries of the proposed district. Exhibit "B" to this report is the current County Assessor's Parcel Maps for the area included I-l within the exterior boundaries as shown on Exhibit "A". These maps show the individual parcels that have been excluded from the District. Exhibit "C" to this report is a numeric listing of assessor's parcel numbers from the current County Assessor's roll of all parcels included within the District. The San Diego Area Association of Governments (SANDAG) prepares traffic reports and analysis using projected traffic flows based upon full development of lands within the City of Carlsbad. These analysis were utilized to determine the exterior boundaries of the District. For purposes of this proposed District, the following definitions have been used: a. "Building Permit" means a permit required by and issued pursuant to Chapter 18.04 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. b. "Bridge" means a structure over a waterway, railway, freeway or canyon for the purpose of conveying vehicular traffic c "Property" means any lot or parcel of land within the exterior boundaries of the Proposed Bridge and Thoroughfare Benefit District No. 1 and subject to payment of a fee. d. "Project" means on any property subject to payment of a fee, any new or additional building, structure, or any land use change which increases the number of trips generated by the use of the lot or parcel. e. "Trip" means an arrival at or a departure from a project by any motor vehicle averaged over a one day period (12:01 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.) as determined according to the table of trip generation found in Part IV of this Engineer's Report. In using this table, the square footage of the building, structure or use shall include all interior floor area of a building or structure, and all usable ground area of a use without a structure, except any designated open space area. Where the table establishes traffic generation for a project on the basis of square footage, acreage, or some other unit, the unit establishing the greatest number of trips shall be utilized. When a project has more than one use the number of trips shall be calculated by adding together all the trips generated by each use. For uses not listed in the table the trips shall be calculated by the City Engineer. 1-2 ENGINEER'S REPORT PART II MAP OF THE EXTERIOR BOUNDARY CITY TO CARLSBAD BRIDGE AND THOROUGHFARE BENEFIT DISTRICT NO.

Each type of development or land use will create a specific number of "trip generations" in a given 24-hour day. (See definition of trip in Part I). Total trip generations can be predicted based upon the City's General Land Use Plan to ultimate development. Commercial uses such as banks, fast food establishments, etc often generate trips in conjunction with another trip and may be considered double counting. Therefore, trip generations from land uses other .than residential have been reduced in computing the Bridge and Thoroughfare fee for those land uses. Dividing the total daily trip generation into the dollars to be raised and needed for construction produces the fee per trip generation to be collected. The fee per trip generation, as hereinafter established, for the various land uses shall be applied to the estimated weekday vehicle trip generation rate as established in the following table. Land Use Agriculture (Open Space) Airports Commercial General Aviation Heliports Automobile Car Wash Gasoline Repair & Sales (Dealer) Estimated Weekday Vehicle Trip Generation Rate 2/acre 12/acre, 100/flight 4/acre, 2/flight, 6/based aircraft 100/acre 600/site 750/station, 130/pump 60/1000 sq.ft., 400/acre, 60/service stall IV-1 Land Use Banking Walk-in Bank w/Drive-Through Savings & Loan w/Drive-Through Cemeteries Church (or Synagogue) Commercial/Retail Centers Regional Shopping Center (More than 30 acres, more than 300,000 sq.ft., w/ usually 2+ major stores) Community Shopping Center (10-30 acres, 100,000- 300,000 sq.ft. w/usually 1 major store and detached restaurant) Neighborhood Shopping Center (Less than 10 acres, less than 100,000 sq.ft. w/usually grocery store & drug store) Commercial Shops (also strip commercial) Grocery Store Convenience Market Discount Furniture Store Lumber/Hardware Store Education University (4 years) Junior College (2 years) High School Elementary/Junior High Hospitals General Convalescent/Nursing Industrial Commercial Included/ Business Park No Commercial Manufacturing Estimated Weekday Vehicle Trip Generation Rate 200/1000 sq.ft. 300 (150 one-way)/lane 60/1000 sq.ft. 100 (50 one-way)/lane 5/acre 30/1000 sq.ft., 60/acre (triple rates for Sunday, or days of assembly) 50/1000 sq.ft., 500/acre 70/1000 sq.ft., 700/acre 120/1000 sq.ft., 1200/acre 40/1000 sq.ft., 400/acre 150/1000 sq.ft., 1500/acre 500/1000 sq.ft. 40/1000 sq.ft. 6/1000 sq.ft., 100/acre 30/1000 sq.ft., 300/a.cre 2.5/student, 100/acre 1.5/student, 80/acre 1.5/student, 50/acre 1.0/student, 30/acre 20/bed, 20/1000 sq.ft., 200/acre 3/bed 16/1000 sq.ft., 200/acre 10/1000 sq.ft., 120/acre 4/1000 sq.ft., 40/acre IV-2 Land Use Industrial (Continued) Warehousing Storage Science Research & Development Library Lodging Hotel (w/convention failities/ commercial) Motel Resort Hotel Military Offices Standard Commercial Office (less than 100,000 sq.ft.)

Therefore, it is recommended to escalate the cost estimate. An inflation factor can be applied or a total debt service can be computed assuming long-term financing and iimnediate construction. Utilizing the second method of long-term financing over 20 years at 7% interest will increase the project cost 89%. Current Cost (1986) Cost to be funded (0.89) Say $ 9,453,000 8,413,000 $17,866,000 $17,870,000 A total of 510,350 daily trips generated by land use s\ibject to fee collection are forecast within the proposed benefit area. In order to recognize common trips (avoid "double counting"), commercial/industrial trip generation is discounted at 40% of residential source generation. A total of 338,940 adjusted daily trips are then forecast. Resultant proposed fees are then: Residential Commercial/Industrial $53.00/Daily Trip $22.00/Daily Trip Background support data is included in the following exhibits.
