1.0 INTRODUCTION
This drainage report has been prepared in support of the design of the storm drain improvements
for the Poinsettia Transit Village (Project), located in the City of Carlsbad. The project is located
adjacent to the Carlsbad Poinsettia NCTD Transit Station encompasses Embarcadero Lane and
two vacant areas consisting of natural grasses. The Project proposes to subdivide the lot into 5
lots and vacate a portion of Embarcadero Lane. "Lot 1" will be bounded by Avenida Encinas to
the north and east, Embarcadero Lane to the west, and Planning Area 5 to the south. "Lot 2" will
be bounded by Avenida Encinas to the north, Embarcadero Lane to the east, the San Diego
Northern County Railroad to the west, and Planning Areas 2, 3, and 4 to the south. Lots B and C
will be bounded by Avenida Encinas to the north and Lot 1 and Lot 2, respectively. Lot A will
encompass a portion of Embarcadero Lane. See Figure 1 for the project vicinity map.
The limits of the improvements consist of 5.3 acres. Lot 1 consists of the construction of a 3300
square foot day care center, commercial space, affordable housing, and associated walkways,
driveways, utilities, and landscaping. Lot 2 consists of the construction of commercial space, loft
units, live/work condominiums, one level of underground parking, and associated walkways,
roadways, utilities, landscaping, and surface parking spaces. Lots B and C will primarily be open
space with pedestrian walkways. Lot A will include street parking, sidewalks, and travel ways.
The total commercial space will encompass an area of 18,000 square feet, including restaraunts.
The residential space will cover an area of 147,540 square feet and will consist of 14 affordable
housing units and 67 condominiums. Additionally, there will be minor offsite grading on the
existing drainage ditch, originating at the southwest end of the Project. The project area
currently consists of natural grasses and brush typical of the region.
The purpose of this report is to: 1) determine hydrologic and hydraulic impacts, if any, relative to
the existing City of Carlsbad storm drain system, and 2) provide runoff values for the design of
the onsite private storm drain system. A combination of existing and proposed private storm
drainpipes will collect and convey Project storm flows to the existing storm drain system at the
Embarcadero \ Bay Lane intersection and to the existing drainage ditch at the southwest corner
of the Project. From a water quality perspective, the storm runoff will be treated to the
Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) prior to entering the storm drain system. See the

2.0 EXISTING AND PROPOSED DRAINAGE PATTERNS AND IMPROVEMENTS
The following sections provide descriptions of the existing and proposed drainage patterns and
improvements for the Project.
2.1 Existing Drainage Patterns
The following section describes the existing drainage improvements. Under existing conditions,
excess storm water from Lot 1 sheet flows to the south, where it enters a storm drain inlet. The
storm drain inlet connects to the city storm drain system, running south under Embarcadero
Lane. Runoff from Avenida Encinas and approximately 140 feet of the north end of
Embarcadero Lane flows to the north end of Lot 2. Runoff from Lot 2 sheet flows south to a
grass swale (constructed for use as an interim condition) at the southern end of the property,
which guides the flow through two sets of dual 12-inch culverts separated by a graded ditch
designed in the Waters End Project. The Lot 2 runoff is discharged into an unmaintained earthen
drainage swale along the eastern side of the railroad tracks, flowing southward. See Exhibit A for
the Existing Conditions Drainage Map.
2.2 Proposed Drainage Improvements
The proposed development consists of the construction of a day care center, commercial space,
affordable housing, associated walkways, driveways, utilities, loft units, live/work
condominiums, underground parking, roadways, utilities, landscaping, and surface parking
spaces.
Under proposed conditions, the stormwater will be conveyed in the same manner as described in
Section 4.5 and Exhibits A, B, and C of the February 2002 Waters End Drainage Report CT 00-
16 DWG No. 396-7 (Waters End Report), with a few exceptions. One discrepancy is the
diversion of 0.69 acres on Avenida Encinas being diverted past the project site via a cross-gutter
instead of entering the Lot 2 drainage scheme, as directed by pre-submittal meetings with the
City of Carlsbad. The runoff will flow in a westerly direction, via a proposed cross gutter, and
enter an existing unpaved utility lot adjacent to the railroad after some ponding near the Transit
Station driveway. The runoff will enter the same drainage channel as the existing conditions
approximately 400' upstream from the current discharge location.
2541DR3.docT:\Water Resources\2541-Poinsettia StalioD\2541DR3.doc -3
Lot 2, also diverging from the Waters End Report, will have a series of roof and area drains on
the western boundary of the Project. These drains will discharge into the existing earth channel
currently receiving Lot 2 runoff, as described in Section 2.1. Grading and improvements within
the channel may be needed to facilitate sufficient flow between the project site and the outfall,
near the railroad tracks. The Waters End Report assumed Lot 2 ties into the existing City of
Carlsbad storm drain system at the comer of Embarcadero and Bay Lane, and the downstream
storm drain system has been designed as such.
Lot 1 runoff will be entering the same inlet as existing conditions, with the addition of a series of
area drains. Embarcadero Lane consists of a series of low points with inlets connecting to the
existing storm drain system along Embarcadero Lane. Both Embarcadero Lane and Lot 1
drainage schemes are consistent with the assumptions made in the Waters End Report. Proposed
pipe sizes will be confirmed at the time of final engineering. An existing headwall and 127
linear feet of 18" RCP near Lot 1 will be removed and replaced in the proposed condition, as
well as the lateral storm drains along Embarcadero Lane. See Exhibit B for the proposed
drainage patterns.

3.0 HYDROLOGIC CRITERIA, METHODOLOGY, AND RESULTS
This section of the report summarizes the drainage criteria that were used in the hydrologic
analysis and key elements of the methodology. The AES Rational Method hydrology computer
output is located in Appendix 1.
3.1 Hydrologic Criteria
Table 1 below summarizes the hydrology criteria for the project. Note that hydrologic criteria
presented are congruent with the Waters End Report. This ensures the assumptions, regarding
our Project site, made for the downstream improvements in the Waters End Project are adequate.

3.2 Hydrologic Methodology and Results
The Modified Rational Method was used to determine the 100-year storm flow for the design of
the storm drainpipe. Calculations are provided in Appendix 1. Table 2 presents the results of the
hydrologic analysis at Waters End node 1110.

The 0.7+/- acres from Avenida Encinas that is being diverted as shown on Exhibit B, eliminates
2.3 cfs from the Lot 2 drainage system assumed in the Waters End Report, discharging at node
1110. However, Table 2 demonstrates that there is only a 0.3 cfs reduction in runoff, compared
to the abovementioned 2.3 cfs. This is due to a shift from the "multi-family" land use, expected
in the Waters End Report, to a more impervious combination of "multi-family" and
"commercial" land use. Multi-family and commercial land-uses correspond to runoff
coefficients of 0.45 and 0.7 respectively for hydrologic soil type A. Note that the Hydrologic
Criteria in the previous section states that IDF curves, runoff coefficients and soil types were
taken from the 1985 Hydrology Manual in order to be consistent with the Waters End Report.
3.3 Water Quality Requirements
Water Quality requirements are sufficiently met through site design, source control, and
treatment BMPs (an existing downstream CDS unit). A CDS unit exists downstream of the
project site, which was constructed as part of the Waters End Project. All runoff from the project
was assumed to enter the CDS unit and is sized accordingly. Project flows that differ from the
2541DR3.docT:\Water Resources\2541-Poinsettia Station\2541DR3.doc
Waters End Report (Lot 2) will be treated with a treatment BMP to the maximum extent
practicable, in accordance with the City and Regional Water Quality Control Board. The BMP
treating Lot 2 runoff is assumed to be the improved channel at the southwest corner of the
project. This BMP will be in the form of a swale or bioretention area, and the channel will be
maintained by the owners of Lot 2, via an EMRA with the City. Technical calculations for this
facility will be provided at the time of final engineering.
See the Water Quality Technical Report for Poinsettia Transit Village provided by
ProjectDesign Consultants for further discussion of water quality requirements.
2541DR3.docT:\Water Resources\2541-Poinsettia Stalion\2541DR3.doc
4.0 HYDRAULIC CRITERIA, METHODOLOGY, AND RESULTS
The onsite storm drain system and streets were designed to collect and convey the 100-year
storm runoff per City Standards. Onsite storm drainpipes within Embarcadero Lane were
designed for 100-year storm open channel flow where possible and, as a minimum, contain the
100-year HGL below flowline of the inlet opening and below cleanout top-of-rim elevations.
The onsite catch basins and area drains in Lots 1 and 2 will be designed per City standards to
intercept the 100-year runoff at the time of final engineering. No HGL calculations for the
Embarcadero Lane system were necessary, additional to those provided in the Waters End
project, because there was no increase in runoff that was not accounted for (See Waters End,
Exhibit C and Appendix 5). Hydraulic calculations for Embarcadero Lane storm drain system
will be provided at the time of final engineering if the pipe inverts are altered, but is not
anticipated. The earth channel draining Lot 2 was designed for an interim condition. New
hydraulic calculations on the revised design of the channel for sufficient conveyance and water
quality treatment will be provided during final engineering. Hydraulic calculations will be
provided for inlet sizing, area drains, private storm drains, etc. during the time of final
engineering.

5.0 CONCLUSION
This drainage report has been prepared in support of the design of the storm drain improvements
for the Poinsettia Transit Village. The Project consists of 5.3 acres of condominiums, retail
space, and associated utilities and paving. This report concludes that there is no
hydrologic/hydraulic impact to the storm drain facilities receiving Project runoff. All runoff
entering the storm drain system is accounted for in the Waters End drainage report. The 0.69
acres of runoff on Avenida Encinas being diverted by a cross gutter at the intersection with
Embarcadero Lane, running westward, will be sufficiently intercepted into City facilities per pre-
submittal discussions between PDC and the City. Lot 2 will drain similar to existing conditions,
differing from the Waters End Report, due to discussions between PDC and the US Fish and
Wildlife Service on 17 September 2005. Hydrologic runoff values for the Project are provided in
the Waters End Report, and Appendices 1 and 2 contain hydrologic calculations for those areas
that differed from the Waters End project. Concerning hydraulics, all downstream facilities
(Waters End pipes and graded ditch) have been shown to sufficiently convey Project flows per
the Waters End Report.
