MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Public Works Administrator
DATE: November 14, 1978
SUBJECT: PLAZA CAMINO REAL PARKING LOT/MARRON ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
The City entered into an agreement with May Stores dated November 5, 1975.
Among other provisions, that agreement called -for the retention of a traf-
fic engineer to conduct a study and make recommendations on how to sepa-
rate Marron Road from the parking lot and.provide for pedestrian access
across Marron Road to the theatre and financial houses on the south side.
The firm of Weston Pringle & Associates was retained to perform the study
and make the recommendations. May Stores, in an addition to that contract,
retained the consultant to analyze internal circulation. The 1975 agree-
ment called for May Stores and the City to split the cost of the study and
of the recommended modifications.
The major part of the study was conducted in 1977 but, due to changes in
the management of May Stores, Inc., cc tain elements of it were unable to
be completed until 1978. The study (copy attached) analyzes the sources
and demands of traffic on the expanded shopping center and considers modi-
fications to the precise plan incorporated in PP-24A approved by City Coun-
cil on September 5, 1978. The recommendations contained in the report are
broken into two sections: those which are the mutunl obligations of the
City and May Stores and those which are the responsibility of the devel-
oper (May Stores). Those recommendations are as follows:
Mutual Obligations
1. Construct curbs on the north side of Marron Road to provide
a 64-foot roadway and modify adjacent parking facilities.
2. Provide five access points to the shopping center along
Marron Road.
3. Provide a 100-foot turnout on the south side of Marron Road
for passenger loading and unloading at the theatre.
4. Remove the median island at E1 Camino Real and provide left -
turn channelization.
5. Construct a four -foot wall or fence on the north side of
Marron Road from E1 Camino Real to the second access point.
May Stores' Responsibility
1. Install a traffic signal at the first access west of E1
Camino Real.
2. Relocate bus stop to north side of center e..,t of Penney's.
3. Construct 36-foot access driveways along Marron Road with
accompanying landscaping and Eidewalks.
r
r
-Z-
Modify main access (Plaza Way) from E1 Camino Real.
Modify existing parking area east of May Company.
Install street lights and sidewalk on Marron Road (part
of standard development requirements).
All recommendations are in accordance with the conditions placed on the
precise plan and tentative map by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that City Council accept the report and, by minute motion,
accept the recommendations as the necessary actions to mitigate the traffic
and pedestrian problems.

Dear Mr. Beckman:
We are pleased to submit our report analyzing traffic operations on Marron Road.
The study was completed in accordance with our agreement of July 5, 1977.
t The study has examined current and future traffic characteristics on Marron
Toad adjacen'- to the Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center. Estimates have been
made of the traffic needs of the expanded shopping center. A plan has been
recommended for traffic control on Marron Road and within the shopping center
L.f adjacent to Marron Road.
Under separate contract, a study of parking and circulation within the center
was accomplished and is included in this report. This study was directed to-
ward mitigating impacts resulting from Marron Road modifications.
We trust that this report will be of assistance to City and shopping center
management. The cooperation provided by you and your staff is appreciated.

MARRON ROAD TRAFFIC STUDY
This study examines the traffic requirements of Marron Road adjacent to the
Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center and recommends methods of providing safe
and efficient traffic movement. The study was completed for the City of
Carlsbad and shopping center management to respond to the proposed expan-
sion of the center and overall growth in regional traffic. A study of on -
site circulation and parking was conducted simultaneously for the shopping
center management and is included in this report.
The study included examining current characteristics, projecting future needs
and developing recommended improvements. Both the City Staff and shopping cen-
ter management provided input and reviewed the recommendations.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Shown on Figure 1 is the location of the Plaza Camino Real Regional Shopping
Center and the street system serving the site. Marron Road, a designated
secondary highway, is striped for two lanes in each direction with a paint
median and has a roadway width of 62.5 feet. There is an access driveway to
the eastern portion of the regional shopping center on the north side of Marron
Road about 200 feet west of E1 Camino Real. from approximately 400 feet west
of E1 Camino Real to the western limits of the center, the parking aisles in
the south portion of the parking lot terminate at the north edge of Marron
Road, causing vehicular movements between parking aisles to interface with
through traffic on this east -west arterial. A five theatre complex, bank,
and savings and loan office are located on the south side of Marron Road west of
El Camino Real. Off street parking for these facilities is quite limited. There
is a two-phase traffic signal in operation at the intersection of Marron Road and
E1 Camino Real. There are advance "Ped X-ing" signs and pavement markings on
Marron Road at the approaches to the marked crosswalk across Marron Road to the
west of the theatre complex.

Traffic count data were obtained from the City of Carlsbad Engineering
Department and from manual traffic counts made by our personnel during the
afternoon peak hour period on Wednesday, July 27, 1977. Week long automatic
counts were made by the City on Marron Road west of El Camino Real in August,
1977. The daily and directional peak hour traffic volumes obtained from this
data are displayed in Table 1.

:.! The highest traffic demands occurred on Friday; 8,560 vehicles per day (vpd)
with directional peak volumes at a maximum of 435 vehicles per hour (vph).
Saturday traffic volumes were slightly less than those for an average weekday;
7,580 vpd versus 7,870 vpd for the Monday through Friday period and Sunday traf-
r!
(c fie demands were substantially lower than average. Additional counts made y
i••i the City west of the center indicate that this section of Marron Road carries
f" about 6,000 vpd on an average weekday.

Manual counts made by our personnel indicate that about 265 pedestrians cross
Marron Road in the vicinity of the theatre complex during the afternoon peak
hour period. Approximately 85 percent of the pedestrians used the existing
E marked crosswalk, 14 percent crossed on the west side of this intersection and
the remaining one percent crossed at midblock points. Traffic volumes at the
- theatre parking lot driveway were very light; 35 vph inbound and 20 vph out-
bound. Also, traffic using the first center driveway west of El Camino Real
was light; 70 vph inbound and 65 vph outbound. Traffic volumes using the
parking lot aisle adjacent to the crosswalk were somewhat lower than the
i center driveway demands.
Field observations showed that bus patronage at the center during the afternoon
peak hour period is quite high with most buses approximately 75 percent occupied.
FUWRE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Plaza Camino Real now consists of two major department stores and a variety
of retail shops with a total gross leasable floor area (GLA) of 581,587 square
i feet. The existing parking lot contains approximately 2,355 spaces or 4.1
`- parking spaces per 1,000 GLA. The planned expansion to the west would add
three major department stores and additional retail shops for a total future
LJ GLA of 1,163,445 square feet; an increase of 581,858 GLA. Additional parking
would be provided for a total of 5,555 vehicles to retain an overall parking
j1 ratio of 4.8 spaces/1,000 GLA.
The generation factors used to estimate the additional traffic volumes for
the expansion of Plaza Camino Real were derived from empirical studies of
modern shopping centers in California. These factors were compared with the
results of studies made by various public agencies and private consultants
throughout the United States. These data were analyzed and adjustment factors
t.: were chosen to suit the unique environment of the Carlsbad -Oceanside area.
Table 2 illustrates the results of traffic cordon counts taken at five exist-
ing shopping center. The generation factors are expressed as ratios of the

The expansion of Plaza Camino Real will generate an additional 28,000 vpd on
the street system in the vicinity of the site on a high demand weekday with
- maximum directional peak hour volumes of about 1,100 vph during the afternoon
com+nuter peak period.
-+ Site trip distribution estimates were made based on economic data contained in
a report prepared for the City of Carlsbad by Levander, Partridge & Anderson,
-y Inc. in 1974 titled "Financial Impact Analysis, Expansion of Plaza Camino Real".
Contained in this study were estimates of total retail sales by city or area.

These trip percentages were then assigned to the study area street system
based on minimum travel times and distances where alternative routes were
available. Illustrated on Figure 2 are the site trip distribution percentages
for each direction of approach to the center. Almost 70 percent of the adds-
; tional traffic generated by the expansion project will use E1 Camino Real south
-A of the Vista freeway. Slightly less than one-fourth of the new site traffic
7 will use Marron Road. Shown on Figure 3 are the afternoon peak hour volumes
that will add 244 eastbound and 275 westbound vehicle trips to Marron Road
dui:ing the time period when total traffic demands are normally at the highest
1
levels.
7 In order to determine what the total future traffic demands on Marron Road
will be the following assumptions were made:
- 1) 'ifty percent of the existing traffic on Marron Road is to
and from the center.
:) Shopping center traffic during the peak month of the year
(December) is 40 percent greater than in August.
3) Non -shopping center traffic on Marron Road will increase
40 percent due to other development in the general area.
Shown on Figure 4 are the site and total future afternoon peak hour and daily
-traffic volumes on Marron Road derived from these assumptions. In this in-
stance "site" refers to the additional traffic generated by the expansion and
does not include existing center traffic. The site access shown is a composite
of all proposed access points to the development. Total future traffic demands
on Marron Road will be approximately double existing peak demands (9,600 vpd
-• west of E1 Camino Real and 7,600 vpd west of the center). About one third of
the total future traffic can be attributed to the additional traffic generated
by the expansion of Plaza Camino Real. Traffic volumes of this magnitude (15-
20,000 vpd) would require two lanes in each direction to maintain reasonable

operating conditions on Marron Road in the future. Also, this level of traffic
demand would necessitate minimizing the number of potential conflict points
f along the reach. The proposed new parking area west of the expanded center
has about 1,500 feet of frontage on Marron Road with three access driveways.
it is recommended that a similar access design be used in modifying the exist-
) ing parking facilities on the north side of Marron Road west of E1 Camino Real.
RECOMMFNDATIONs
Based upon the analyses of existing and future traffic conditions, recommenda-
tions were developed to accommodate traffic along Marron Road. Additionally,
modifications to the internal parking and circulation system were developed.
(These on -site recommendations were requested by the shopping center management
and that portion of the study was a separate contract.) The recommendations
are illustrated in Figure 5. These recommendations have been reviewed by repre-
sentatives of the City and the shopnijIq ei,'PrQr and have been accepted +by both
parties.
The recommendations are divided into two groups, those affecting Marron Road
and the on -site related. Marron Road improvements are the responsibility
"j of both the City and shopping center while on -site improvements are soley
the responsiblity of the shopping center. The recommendations are described
in the following sections.
Marron Road Recommendations
`} Separation of the existing street and parking lot is a major need for improved
traffic flow on Marron Road. This can be accomplished by the construction of
-- curb and gutter along the north side of Marron Road to provide a standard 64
feet of pavement and modification of the existing parking layout. A twelve foot
strip would be provided to contain landscaping and sidewalks between Marron
Road and the parking area. On -site parking would be modified with perpendicular
parking adjacent to Marron Road and connections between the existing parking
bays.

f Five vehicular access points to the shopping center wotild be provided along
:J
Marron Road, The westerly access aligns with the future intersection of Monroe
Street and Marron Road. Other access points are as indicated ?n Figure 5.
A 64 foot curb to curb width would be provided on Marron Road. This would
allow two lanes in each direction with left turn channelization. No on -street
parking or stopping would be allowed except adjacent to the theatre where a 100
fooE turnout is proposed for passenger drop-off.
The first access point westerly of E1 Camino Real would be signalized. This is
to provide for the pedestrian crossing from the shopping center to the theatre.
' The signal should be a two-phase, semi -actuated type, interconnected and coor-
dinated with the existing El Camino Real%Marron Road traffic.signal. In order
to channelize pedestrians to the signalized crossing. a four foot fence or wall
-- should be constructed in the north parkway from El Camino Real to the second
shopping center access. The existing traffic island on Marron Road at El
Camino Real shoitld be removed and left turn channelization installed.
T Tile existing streec light system should be extended easterly adjacent to the
center. This consists of 20,000 lumen mercury vapor lamps at 200 foot staggered
spacing.
on -Site Recommendations
As a result of the Marron Road recommendations, some on -site modifications
were required. These consisted of revised parking and circulation systems
adjacent to Marron Road. In addition, on -site parking and circulation were
reviewed on an overall basis. This resulted in several recommendations effect-
ing the shopping center.
-- The existing bus stop and transfer station is located on the east side of the
shopping center. It is recommended that this facility be relocated to the
north side of the center as shown in Figure 5. This location is readily
accessible to the buses and would have the least impact on on -site circulation
and parking. The relocation has been reviewed by the North County Transit
District but not formally accepted.

7 A redesign of the parking area east of the May Company store has been recom-
mended. This revision would eliminate a roadway through the parking area and
increase the parking supply in this area. Along with this redesign, the modi-
"J fication of the main entrance on El Camino Real is recommended. This change
is indicated in Figure 5 and results in a more standard treatment with less
—j conflict points. The elimination of the roadway through the parking area also
aids this intersection.
The access points along Marron Road are recommended to be 36 feet wide with no
direct access to parking except at the inner ring road. This will allow ade-
quate on -site space for queuing of vehicles entering and exiting the facility
without interfering with Marron Road traffic movement or on -site circulation.
These should be striped to allow two lanes outbound and one lane inbound.
7 Projected weekday peak hour volumes for each driveway are illustrated in Figure
6. These volumes were based on available count data, short term turning move-
ment counts made by our personnel and future traffic volume projections pre-
viously discussed. Each access would be b)rdered with a 12= foot strip includ-
ing sidewalk and landscaping. The major benefit of this recommendation would
be to improve on -site circulation and reduce the blockage of parking areas by
vehicles entering or exiting the site -
Summary
The reconmiended improvements for improved traffic conditions on Marron Road
are as follows:
1. Construct curbs on the north side of Marron Road to provide a
64 foot roadway and modify adjacent parking facilities.
2. Provide five access points to the shopping center along Marron
Road.
3. Provide a 100 foot turnout on the south side of Marron Road for
passenger loading and unloading at the theatre.
