Zone Plans
Of the twenty-five Local Facilities Management Zones in the City of Carl
eighteen have adopted Zone Plans. In the first half of 1991, one Zone Plan was adc
This was the plan for Zone 18, Carrillo Ranch, which was adopted by the City Cour
March 5, 1991. In addition, the LFMP for Zone 21 was approved by the Pla
Commission on July 17, 1991, and will be going forward to the City Council. The
for Zone 13 and Zone 16 are in Technical Review and are expected to be reac
adoption by the end of the calendar year, Exhibit 1 shows the current status of
zones.
It. STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT
Residential Development
In the first half of 1991 (January 1 to June 30), building permits for 18f
dwelling units were issued. Exhibit 2 provides a breakdown by month and by zc
residential development occurring in the first half of 1991. This rate is consistent wi
rate for the past four years since Growth Management was enacted. For compl
purposes, Exhibit 3 shows residential building permits issued each year from 1:
June 30, 1991. Exhibit 4 provides a breakdown of this activity by zone for the la:
years.
The current relatively low rate of residential development is primarily a refleci
the present economic climate locally, regionally, and nationally which is not favors
development. It is anticipated that development activity will increase as the ecc
improves and as additional Zone Financing Plans are approved.

Population
The performance standards for City Administrative facilities, Library, and Park
stated in terms of population. For Growth Management purposes, populatic
estimated by counting the number of dwelling units and assuming 2.471 persons per
The total number of dwelling units existing in Carlsbad as of January 1, 1991, was 27
and the population was 68,667. This includes an adjustment of 5 existing units in I
21 which had not been counted previously (see Zone 21 Local Facilities Manage
Plan). As indicated in the discussion of development activity, building permits foi
new dwelling units were issued in the first six months of 1991. Thus, the new
number of dwelling units in Carlsbad as of June 30, 1991, is 27,975. The cih
population estimate used for analyzing the adequacy of City Administrative facilitie
Library is 69,127. It should be noted that this population estimate is for facility pla
purposes only. The actual population for the city as reported by the census will be
than this estimate.
Non-Residential Development
In the first half of 1991, building permits were issued for 1,200,005 square fl
non-residential construction. This amount is approximately equal to the totals for prc
years. However, there has been virtually no activity since early April, and it i
expected that there will be a significant amount of development for the remainder I
year. In addition, the relatively large amount of non-residential development in Zo
reflects a one-time event rather than ongoing development activity. A comprehe
listing of non-residential development occurring in the first half of 1991 is provid
Exhibit 5. Exhibit 6 shows the amount of non-residential development that has occ
in the last three years.

The City Council may make changes in the timing of projects annually as nece
to meet Growth Management requirements. The Council will also set the tax rate anr
to assure adequate cash flow. It is anticipated that bonds will be sold in 1992 to fun
initial projects. The bonds will be repaid by a combination of CFD taxes and a pc
of the City’s usual development fee revenue.
The district contains only vacant, developable land. Not all such land in thc
has been included in the district initially. Only land in Local Facilities Management 2

Zone Finance Plans
Chapter 2i.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that each Local Fac
Management Zone have an approved Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP)
prerequisite to development within the Zone. The LFMP must include a Financing
meeting certain criteria as described in the Code. A number of LFMPs have
adopted with the condition that they submit and obtain approval of a Financing Plan
to finaling any subdivision map or obtaining a grading or building permit. Thes
Zones 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 20, 22, and 24.
The preparation of adequate Zone Financing Plans had been awaiting a fina
mechanism for the Citywide facilities. Now that the Mello Roos Community Fa(
District (CFD) has been formed, Zone Financing Plans are being submitted which

V. STATUS OF THE FACILITIES
The following is a brief discussion of the adequacy of each of the eleven F
facilities addressed in Carlsbad’s Growth Management Program. For a more con
discussion of existing and planned facilities, funding, and timing issues, please re
the Comprehensive Monitoring Report.
City Administrative Facilities
The marginal increase in demand for City Administrative Facilities for the first half 01
is as follows:
Population (1 /1/91) 68,667
Demand (1 /1/91) 103,001 sq. ft.
Units Constructed (1/1/91 to 6/30/91) 186 units
Marginal Demand (1/1/91 to 6/30/91) 690 sq. ft. Added population (1/1/91 to 6/30/91) 460
As of June 30, 1991 , this facility continues to meet the adopted performance star
as shown below:
Population 69,127
Demand 103,691 sq. ft.
Supply 125,284 sq. ft.
Adequacy 21,594 sq. ft.
With formation of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, funding for all futui
administrative facilities is guaranteed. Therefore, we can project that this facili
continue to meet the adopted performance standard through buildout.
Library
The marginal increase in demand for Library Facilities for the first half of 1991
follows:
Population (1 /1/91) 68,667
Units Constructed (1/1/91 to 6/30/91)
Added population (1/1/91 to 6/30/91)
Marginal Demand (1/1/91 to 6/30/91)

As of June 30, 1991, this facility continues to meet the adopted performance stan
as shown below:
Population 69,129
Demand 55,302 sq. ft.
Supply 88,600 sq. ft.
Adequacy 33,298 sq. ft.
With formation of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, funding for the :
Carlsbad Library is guaranteed. Therefore, we can project that this facility will cor
to meet the adopted performance standard through buildout.
Wastewater Treatment Capacity
The Phase IV expansion of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility is well undl
and is expected to be completed in the spring of 1992. The expansion will increa!
total capacity of the plant from 27.9 million gallons per day (MGD) to 36
Carlsbad’s share will increase from 6.94 MGD to 9.24 MGD. Based on current de
and projections of future development, the performance standard will continue to k
through the year 2000.
Parks
Park adequacy is analyzed on the basis of population within each of the four
districts in the City. The districts correspond to the four quadrants defined by El Ci
Real and Palomar Airport Road. In the table below, the 187 new dwelling units
were constructed in the first half of 1991 have been allocated to the appro
quadrants to show the marginal increase in demand for parks:
Park District No. 1 (Northwest Quadrant)
Dwelling Units (1 /I /91) 10,531
Population (1 /1/91) 26,023
Demand (l/l/Ql) 78.07 acres
Units Constructed (1/1/91 to 6/30/91) 46
Added population (1/1/91 to 6/30/91) 114
Marginal Demand (1 /1/91 to 6/30/91) 0.34 acres

As demonstrated in the above table, all four park districts continue to mec
performance standard.
Drainage
Drainage facilities are provided on a project by project basis. The City require
needed drainage facilities to be constructed concurrent with development. Drz
deficiencies currently exist in portions of the City due to inadequate facilities insta
the past. These deficiencies will be corrected as development occurs that v
conditioned to provide upgraded facilities.
Circulation
The Comprehensive Monitoring Report identified the following intersections and
segments as falling below the performance standard for circulation.
Road Segments
Palomar Airport Road from El Camino Real to the eastern city limit - Fund
widen this road segment has been guaranteed by a combination of SANDAG
and private bonds posted by a consortium of property owners in Zone 5
design for the improvements is nearly complete, and acquisition of necessary
of-way is currently being pursued.
Intersections and Freewav Interchanges
(7) La Costa Avenue at Interstate 5 - Funding to improve this interchar
ultimate standards is included in CFD No. 1. As indicated in the discussion
CFD, this interchange is scheduled for funding in fiscal year 1992-93.
(2) Palomar Airport Road at lnferstate 5 - Funding to improve this interchai
also included in CFD No. 1. It is funded in the current fiscal year, and the c
is nearing completion. Award of bid is anticipated in February 1992.
(3) Palomar Airport Road at El Camino Real, at El Fuerte, and at Bushes:
Drive - All three of these intersections lie along the segment of Palomar I
Road discussed above. These intersections will be corrected with the wider
the road as described above.
All other road segments and intersections are currently operating within the ad
performance standard.

Schools
All four school districts that serve students from Carlsbad are continuing to pursut
plans for new school locations. New development is continuing to pay school fee:
new sites will be acquired as a part of the financing plans for several Zones. Bas
these facility planning efforts and ongoing cooperation between the City and the 5
district, we can project that the performance standard for schools will continue to k
through buildout.
Sewer Collection System
Sewer improvements are provided on a project by project basis concurrer
development. The most significant improvement to occur during the first half of 198
construction of the North Batiquitos Pump Station, located in Zone 19 adjacent
Aviara and Broccato projects. This upgraded pump station will assure adequacy
North Batiquitos line to accommodate projected demand in the future. Other sewe
and pump stations will be constructed or upgraded concurrent with the develol
projects which require them.
Water Distribution System
The performance standard for water addresses both line capacity and si
facilities. Water lines are constructed concurrent with development or by means
Capital Improvement Program of the affected water district. New storage facilitic
constructed only when the projected demand from new development would warrz
capital outlay. Both line capacity and storage facilities are meeting the perforr
standard for all water districts serving Carlsbad.
VI. OTHER ISSUES
Affordable Housing
Recently there has been growing concern regarding the provision of affo
housing within the City of Carlsbad. Specific provisions of the Growth Managem
18
e e
Program allow substantial opportunities for the development of affordable housin!
at the same time conform with the mandates of Proposition E. They are as follov
1. Flexibility is built into the application of the Density Control Points to allow f;
granting of higher densities. Proposition E provided that the Control Points c
exceeded if the City finds that adequate facilities will be provided and the quz
caps will not be exceeded. A number of projects have been approved al
based upon this finding.
Dwelling Unit "Bank' for Affordable Housing - The City's ability to grant t
densities has been refined and made more formalized as we have proceec
implementation of the Growth Management Program.
projects in each quadrant are being designed and constructed at less thz
Control Points. These projects generate "excess" units because the proj
residential buildout for the Zone is predicated upon everyone building i
Control Point. To assure that these excess units are retained for affor
housing purposes, a dwelling unit Bank has been created. A City Council
has been adopted to govern withdrawals from the bank.
2.
As anticipated,
These provisions assure that there will be an adequate number of dwelling units av:
to facilitate the construction of Carlsbad's fair share of affordable housing
maintaining the ultimate caps stated in Proposition E. The City's Housing Element
General Plan, which is currently being updated, provides more detail on the Dwellin
Bank. For further information, contact the Planning Department or the Housin!

improvements.
Monitoring occurs with every application for development that is submitted and revi
Each application is reviewed for conformance with the Growth Management Program ar
adopted Buildout number for the zone. The projected phasing of development in the ZI

City of Carlsbad officials began working on a Growth Management Program in 1985
effort was prompted by the awareness that development was creating public facility impa
the community which were not being mitigated. In response to this situation, a ci
committee was appointed to review the City’s General Plan. In July 1985 the citizens comi
presented its findings and recommendations, which were adopted by the City Council.
month later the City Council adopted the first off a series of interim ordinances to r
development while the formal Growth Management Program was finalized. I In July 1986, the program was permanently enacted by the adoption of Ordinanc
9808 by the City Council. This and related ordinances and resolutions set the broad outlii
the program. In September of the same year, a Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan I
was adopted. The CFIP provided greater detail for the program by: I
1. Identifying the existing level of development in the City and projecting the ul
future buildout.
2.
3.
Specifying the 11 public facilities which would be considered.
Identifying all current supply and future need for the 11 public facilit
accommodate existing and buildout demands.
Specifying performance standards for each of the 11 public facilities.
Establishing the specific boundaries for each of the 25 Local Facility Manag
Zones (see Exhibit 4 for a map of the zones).

Proposition E was placed on the ballot in November 1986 and ratified by the vot
Carlsbad. This Proposition, in addition to requiring adequate public facilities, "locked ii
residential density controls which were already a part of the program and established ul'
dwelling unit caps for each of the four quadrants of the City.

centralized facilities serving the entire City. Their adequacy in meeting the performance star
is analyzed by considering the cumulative impact of Citywide development. The failure o
one of these facilities to meet the adopted performance standard would affect the City

Parks are analyzed on a quadrant basis. This means that if the standard is not
met in the quadrant, developrnent is halted for all zones in the quadrant. This requires the ;
in each quadrant to cooperate in the provision of acreage for parks and in funding foi
improvements. Similarly, Fire is analyzed on the basis of service areas which include si
zones.

D. POPULATlON PROJECTIONS
The performance standards for City Administrative facilities, Library, and Parks ar
in terms of population. In orider to determine population for these purposes, an estima'
average household size is used. This number is 2.471 persons per dwelling unit, which
average household size in 1986 according to the State of California Department of Financ
that time, average household size has declined and is expected ta continue to decline: how
Growth Management Program continues to use 2.471 for the following reasons:
1 1. All population projections in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan and i
the adopted Local Facilities Management Plans are based on 2.471 per:
household. Continued use of this number ensures that all future projections of gr
impacts can be compared with the projections in the CFlP and the Local
Management Plans. If the Growth Management Program were to adjust housc
I
each year, using figures supplied annually by the State, there would be no con 1 in our projections from one year to the next.
2. This method is a conservative approach which provides an added margin of si
facility planning process. By using the higher average household size, it ensui
adequate level of facilities is being planned for rather than risking underestii It demand.

It should be noted that the population figures derived from this method are intended f(
planning purposes only and are not intended to be used in place of actual census figures
reasons stated above, and as long as the actual household size continues to decline
Management population estimates will be higher than census figures reported by Federal
government. Exhibit 1 illustrates this point by showing the actual population increase fron
1990 according to the State, compared with the Growth Management estimates based
persons per dwelling unit.
Exhibit 2 shows the buildout population growth projections from the CFIP compared with th
Management Program’s current projections. The Growth Management projection falls t
projection from the CFlP at txildout because several Zones do not have adopted Loci
Management Plans, and their buildout population is not yet known. When all 25 Local
Management Plans have been adopted, the buildout population projection will be con
134,914 or less, as projected in the CFIP.

The dwelling unit caps established in Proposition E are stated in terms of Future
which means dwelling units approved or constructed after November 4, 1986. By contra:
term Buildout refers to the total of Future Units plus those units already existing or
construction as of November 4, 1986. The buildout estimate for each zone is projected a
of the Local Facilities Management Plans. These estimates are primarily intended for proj
public facility impacts. However, it can also be useful to compare these with the qui
buildout projections in the CFIP.

Phasing refers to an estimate or projection of the amount of development exp

that 1,250 dwelling units would be constructed each year. This assumption was u!

Since that time, the 18 adopted zone plans have provided more accurate estimates 1 number of new dwelling units to be constructed each year. During the preparation of
plan, the land owners indicate the number of units they intend to construct each ye:
buildout of the zone. This phasing is used, instead of the CFIP assumption, to detc
approximate thresholds in the plan. 8
The phasing shown in each zone plan is still not entirely accurate, for 5
reasons. Each zone plan's phasing is done independently, as though the zone will dev

The following table (Exhibit 5) shows the phasing of residential units for al
which have adopted zone plans, as projected by staff. Even these figures, thoug

1 G. THRESHOLD ANALYSIS
In Growth Management, a threshold is the point at which a facility will need
upgraded or improved in order to continue to meet the performance standard. Usin
proposed phasing for each zone, it is possible to identify the year(s) in which a particular f
will reach a threshold, For instance, it might be prsjected that a certain roadway will fall 1
1
the standard in 1995 unless additional lanes are constructed. This identification of thre
years is helpful to property owners in deciding how they will finance the needed improven
It is also helpful to the City, since major public works projects often take years to desig
build. When it is known that a new road will be needed five years from now, City planne
engineers can begin to establish the preferred route, prepare drawings and specific;
acquire the land, and refine cost estimates.
1
I Caution must be exercised in using the threshold years given in zone plans
phasing projected in older zone plans may be superseded by the passage of time and
adoption of subsequent zone plans. The phasing given in Exhibit 5 will need to be updatc
the adoption of new zone plans.
More importantly, the true thresholds are not based on years but on the
performance of the facility in relation to its standard. It is likely that some thresholds
reached earlier or later than the years shown in a zone pian. For example, a roadway prc
to reach its maximum capacity in 1995 might require upgrading sooner than that due
development or a change in general traffic patterns. Conversely, the road may noi
maximum capacity until much later than 1995 if development occurs more slowly tt
proposed phasing. Either way, the Growth Management Program is designed to assure 1
road is there when needed. The zone plans contain specific conditions to ensure th:
facility is built or upgraded as the thresholds are reached, whenever that might occur.

the purposes of monitoring is to determine whether threshold years should be adjusted to I
new conditions, so that the performance standards will always be maintained.
Enforcement of the facility requirements of Growth Management is based on moni
of the thresholds. Whenever a threshold is being approached, the City takes action. Fu
to upgrade the facility may be available from one of several sources: (1) a developer’s 1
financing package; (2) an assessment district or Mello-Roos District; (3) accumulate(
collected from development; (4) the City’s Capital Improvement budget. These funds WOI
used to provide additional capacity for the affected facility. If no immediate funding is aw

I the City would stop development in that zone, quadrant, or even in the City as a whole, un
or expanded facilities are provided. The purpose of projecting and monitoring thresholc

6,178. The parks demand is calculated as follows:
6,178 population x [ 3 acres ] = 18.53 acres
[I ,000 POP.]
If the supply of parks in the quadrant is 20 acres, the complete adequacy analysis
would be as shown below:

This hypothetical quadrant would have a current adequacy margin of 1,47 acres,
this same methodology, it can be determined that an additional 190 dwelling units co
constructed within the quadrant before the threshold is reached.' At that point, no
development would be allowed in the quadrant unless additional park acreage was fundr
guaranteed to be constructed within 5 years.

V. STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY UNDER GROWTH MANAGEMENT
The Growth Management Program specified several prerequisites to developn
2 1.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code specified that a Citywide facilities and \mpW
(CFIP) must be prepared and adopted by the City Council. This was completed on SI
1986. In addition, each zone is required to have a Zone Plan adopted by the City C
development or processing of applications is allowed. The plans for Zones 1 through 6
by City staff because these zones comprise the already developed or infill portions
Development has resumed in these zones subject to the new requirements impose
Management. These requirements ensure that adequate public facilities will be provide
adopted performance standards.
I
I
In the remaining zones, that is Zones 7 through 25, the property owners a
for preparing the plans for their zones under the supervision of City staff. Following ac
Zone Plan for a zone, development can resume in the zone if:
(1) All 11 of the facility performance standards are being met.
(2) All of the conditions stated in the zone plan are being met.
The following Chart (Exhibit 7) shows the number of dwelling units issued e I 1986.
How Dwellino units are counted
Under Growth Management, new dwelling units are counted when the bui I issued. Exhibit 7 shows the number of units issued each year from January 1, 1
December 31, 1990. Prior to the establishment of the Growth Management Progra
counted when "finaled"' that is, when the building inspector makes the final inspectio
that the unit is ready for occupancy. For this reason, Exhibit 7 is not a complete i
entire dwelling unit increase from 1986 to 1991.

Exhibit 8. As of January 1,1987, the change was made to counting at permit issuance; I
for 1987 reflects all units issued in that year plus dl units which were issued in prior yea’
in 1987. Exhibit 8 is, therefore, an accurate representation of the dwelling unit increase fro
present, For 1988 and ail subsequent years, new units are counted at the time of permi
Exhibit 9 provides the total picture of residential development under Growth
by starting with the number of dwelling units already completed and occupied as of Jar
As indicated in the CFIP, this number was 21,121 dwelling units. The current total as of
1990, is 27,784 dwelling units.

Proposition E stated that no residential project could be approved in exces

approved below the Control Point, so the net result is equal to the Control Point.

number of projects in the Northwest Quadrant have been approved in this way. The fc
table (Exhibit 13) provides an accounting of all approved residential projects in the Nc
Quadrant since November 4, 1986 to show the balance of units over and under the
Management Control Point. As indicated in the exhibit, the northwest quadrant is 208.1
below the Control Point overall, as of December 31, 1990.

For each of the City's 25 zones, the maximum allowable number of future
determined as part of the LFMP for the zone. This number is computed by applying the
Point to all of the vacant, developable land in the zone. The result is called the Future I
the zone. At this time, not all zones have projected their Future Units.
All six of the zones that make up the Northwest Quadrant have projected thei
Units. Although Zone 13 is not yet adopted, it will be a totally nonresidential zone. Tt
its residential buildout is zero. This makes it possible to verify that the Proposition E cal
Northwest Quadrant will be complied with through buildout of the City, as shown on the fi
pages.

at all times as development occurs. Therefore, it is projected that ail of these facilities, VI

Local Facilities Management Plans. The exception is the freeway interchange at 1-5 and F

I VII. STATUS OF THE ELEVEN PUBLIC FACILITIES:
The key to performing an accurate adequacy analysis is to compare the pr
phasing of the Citywide Facilities and improvements Plan with the projected phasing of th
Facilities Management Plans and actual development activity. While identified improven
the plans are date specific, it is the impact of development upon the performance standl
actually triggers improvement thresholds. For example, if actual traffic impacts in 1991
equal the projection for 1993, then those street improvements scheduled for 1993 wou
to be constructed immediately, or further development within the affected zones would be

may be modified at some time in the future.
North Carlsbad Library:
The 1990-91 CIP shows $4,000,000 for construction of the North Carlsbad
expansion in 2000+. This will provide an additional 8,000 square feet of
space at the existing Library on 1256 Carlsbad Village Drive for a total of
square feet.

Currently, the Encina WPCF has capacity to treat 24.40 million gallons p

The Encina Ocean Outfall transports the treated sewage (effluent) frc
Encina WPCF and satellite facilities and discharges approximately 8,9(
into the Pacific Ocean. Currently, the Encina Ocean Outfall has a 40.5
gallons per day (MGD) capacity. Outfall capacity is shared on a perci
basis by the six sewer service districts, and is projected to provide su
capacity until the year 2000.
The City of Carlsbad also owns the Calavera Hills Wastewater Treatmer
which has a capacity of 1.2 MGD. The Calavera Hills Facility is not ope1
at this time and would require approximately $2.33 million to n
operational. Operation of the Calavera Hills Plant would cost an esi
$360,000 per year. Comparable treatment at the Encina WPCF is estim
economical to operate for treatment capacity except in the absence of r
capacity at Encina WPCF.

1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Drainage facilities must be provided as required by the City concurrei
development. .I II. FACILITY PLANNING INFORMATION
..
As indicated in the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, drain
distinguished from all other public facilities and improvements because by
nature it is more accurately assessed as specific development plans are fir
However, certain facilities may be necessary which are larger than those r(
from a single development project and, therefore, need to be identified so t
proper funding can be collected for the construction of these facilities.
The location and size of the proposed storm drain facilities have been appror
for the purposes of preparation of individual zone plans. The actual locatio
sizes will be defined as the area develops and the storm runoff is analyzed acr
to current design standards.
The City is currently in the process of revising the Drainage Master Plar
updated version will analyze the adequacy of the existing storm drab facilit

development will continue to conform with the adopted performance stanc
development occurs.

The approach to phasing taken by any Local Facilities Management
based on ensuring that 'needed facilities are in place prior
commensurate with development. Watershed boundaries are shown
zone plan which correlate with the natural drainage basins within th
Thresholds for the major drainage facilities within each watershed c8
be easily established, thereby determining the appropriate mi I measures.
iRe watershed boundaries allow for independent review and developr
the drainage facilities within each boundary. However, the City may

ROAD SEGMENTS
The Circulation Monitoring Report evaluated the operating level of service of
segments throughout the City. This was accomplished by counting the act
trips in a 48 hour period and comparing these volumes to an assumed I
capacity thus determining the operating level of service. Exhibit 21 lists the
Service (L.O.S.) of the 18 road segments during both counting periods.
As shown on Exhibit 21, one road segment is currently operating be

The methodology applied to determine the L.O.S. takes into considera
relationship of average daily traffic and the carrying ability of the road segme
normal conditions. Most road segments have side friction (Le., curbs, sis
posts, bus stops, driveways, etc.). This side friction affects the flow of trafl

A contributing factor of the probable cause of occasional delays is the traffic
at Palomar Airport Road and Business Bark Drive. The stop cycle in the signal
delays the flow of traffic. Although, this signal is a contributing factor, it alonc
the only cause. This segment of Palomar Airport Road is only two lanes w
lane in each direction. The peak hour volumes exceed the carrying capacity 4
lane.
The appropriate solution is for the construction of four lanes of Palomar Airpoi
from El Camino Real to the eastern City limit. There is only one adopted ZOI
whose traffic is impacting this road - Pone 5.
This road segment fronts Local Facility Management Zones 17 and 18. The5
plans have not been adopted but will impact this facility when development
For this reason, Zone 5 has entered into.an agreement with the City in which t
of widening Palomar Airport Road to four lanes from El Camino Real Po the

methodology, as defined in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, to detern

operating ability of that intersection.
Nine intersections were identified for further study. In accordance Y
"Guidelines and Instructions for the Preparation of Traffic Studies for LFC

b Palomar Airport Road at El Fuerte - Palomar Airport Road at Business Park Drive
All three of these intersections lie along the eastern segment of Palomai
Road. As indicated in the discussion of road segments, the remedy

IV. FREEWAY INTERCHANGES
In 1986, the City hired the traffic firm of Barton-Aschman and Associates to c
a traffic study to serve as the basis for the Circulation section of the Citywic
One of the most significant findings of that study was that the 1-5 freeway inter
at La Costa Avenue is operating below the performance standard. Based
finding, the City stopped all development in Zone 6. Funding was later prov
the City through Bridge and Thoroughfare fees. At the same time, the City
determined that development could resume in Zone 6 due to the fc
conditions:
w The City does not have complete control over the scheduling
improvements. In the case of freeway interchanges, Caltrans has juri
over all construction projects.
b Design of the improvements is proceeding, and the City is doing evc
possible to pursue construction of the improvements.
In 1990, the Citizens Committee to Study Growth recommended that staff att
develop an improved methodology for measuring freeway interchange
service. Staff and JHK explored various possible approaches that would
interchanges in a systematic fashion. This would be the preferred way to i
interchanges because their operating capacity is affected by many factors, ir
length and placement of ramps, signal timing, and the LOS of adjacent
Unfortunately, none of the system approaches proved workable. In the abs
a system approach, the only methodology available is to perform a "pie
m
analysis of the functioning of each onramp, offramp, and connecting segmei I interchange.
Analysis of the interchanges was not originally included in JHKs studies fc
However, traffic studies from other sources have analyzed the LOS of the I
Airport Road interchange. These studies found that the 1-5 freeway interct-
Palomar Airport Road is currently operating below the adopted perfc
standard. In view of this facility shortfall a separate report has been prepa
will be submitted to the City Council as a companion item to this monitorin!
The report on the interchange recommends that no further building permits bi

As was discussed previously, the intent of this monitoring report is to identify f
levels of service of various intersections and road segments and to be usc
planning tool in projecting when future circulation facilities will fall below the a performance standard. The results of the monitoring report will be used to
the timing of construction of future facilities. This will enable the city to inch

1. INTRODUCTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
In attempts by cities across the country to regulate growth within their
communities, Growth Management Plans have been developed. An important part of
a Growth Management Plan is a Traffic Monitoring Program. The Traffic
Monitoring Program entails the collection and analysis of data at critical mid-block
link count locations and major intersections throughout the City. Typically, data
requirements for Traffic Monitoring Programs include the average daily traffic
volumes recorded at mid-block locations and peak hour turn movement volumes at
major signalized intersections. The field data is then reduced and capacity analysis
is performed based on existing geometrics and lane configurations. The analysis of
intersections and mid-block locations enables the jurisdiction to identify potential
capacity problem areas where unacceptable operations exist. This information is
intended to assist the City in assessing future development adjacent to these
problem locations where capacity deficiencies currently exist.
This report documents the second year's results of the Growth Management
Plan Traffic Vonitoring Program for the City of Carlsbad. The City of Carlsbad
identified thirty-seven (37) key intersections and eighteen (18) key mid-block
locations for analysis. Data for this report was gathered during July and August of
1990. Similar efforts occurred the previous year for this same time period and
provided a basis for comparison.
The City of Carlsbad is a coastal community located in Southern California, 35
miles north of San Diego, and the current population is approximately 63,000.
Interstate 5 runs north and south near the western edge of Carlsbad and is a major
route for commuters to both Orange County and San Diego. The facility also carries
a significant amount of through traffic as the primary coastal route linking San
Diego to Orange County and Los Angeles. The Carlsbad Circulation system includes
the following major arterials: El Camino Real, Palomar Airport Road, Tamarack
Avenue, and Carlsbad Boulevard. The project location map, Figure 1-1, shows the
alignment of the major roadways throughout Carlsbad and the intersections and mid-
block locations evaluated in the Traffic Monitoring Program.

As required by the Scope of Work, JHK & Associates (JHK) collected
during the Summer of 1990 at various mid-block locations and intersections u
and adjacent to the City of Carlsbad. The results of this data collection effor

included in the appendices at the end of this report, In addition to these tect
appendices, JHK has prepared a summary section for this Annual Report. Sum
information is presented in this initial section of the report, and a description c
content of Chapters 2, 3 and 4 is provided below.
As mentioned previously, a total of eighteen (18) mid-block link
locations for the collection of 1990 average daily traffic (ADT) volume counts
identified by the City of Csrlsbad. JHK coordinated the placement of its coc
with City staff and later reviewed the ADT volumes and performed roa
segment analysis. The results of the mid-block link analysis for the summer
period is contained in Chapter 2.
Although roa.dway segment analysis provides a good indication of ro2
operations in rural settings, intersections tend to be the dominant factor in ti
operations within the urban sections of most communities. The City of Car
identified thirty-seven (37) key intersections to be analyzed. To help assure thr
interwction turn movement counts were completed in a timely manner,
utilized personnel from a temporary agency within the Carlsbad area. Morning
to 9:OO a.m.) and evening (3:30 to 6:30 p.m.) peak period turn movement vo
were collected at each project intersection. The data was reduced to identij
peak hour turn movement volumes, and this information was then analyzed usir
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method for signalized intersection
procedures outlined in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, Chapter 10
unsignalized intersections. The analysis conformed with guidelines establish
the City of Carlsbad in a document entitled "Guidelines and Instructions fc

The combined intersection LOS was calculated by multiplying the appr
delay by the corresponding volume. The sum of these values was then dividec

As mentioned earlier, the LOS of the all-way stop-controlled inters

The scope of work for this project was developed to allow the City of C
to monitx growth at szveral intersections and mid-block locations that were
during 1989, as well as monitor several new locations. In all, twenty-
intersections fr9-n last year were again studied this year while data was collc
eleven (1 1) new intersections. In addition, seven (7) mid-block locations fi
1989 study were included with the eighteen (IS) locations studied this year,

The information contained in Chapter 3 identifies eleven critical inter

Carnino Real and Palomar Airport Road is the most critical intersection wi

Analysis indicates that the morning peak hour operates at LOS F while the ai
peak hour operates at LOS E. Other intersections which still have low 1
service after applying the Heavy Demand procedures include Palomar Airpa
at Paseo Del Norte, Palomar Air7ort Road at El Fuerte Street and El Camj
at Olivenhain Road. Also, two unsignalized intersections, Paseo Del r\
Poinsettia Lane and Saxony Road at La Costa Avenue, could not be analzy
the Heavy Demand ICU procedures. Both locations currently operate at LC
the morning and afternoon peak periods. Based on the results of this stu
recommended that these signalized and unsignalized intersections be revic
the City to determine if mitigation should be considered.

The remaining signalized intersections which were identified as F
locations utilizing the standard ICU methodology, were found to have acc
levels of service when analyzed with Heavy Demand ICU methodology. It
concluded that operations at these remaining intersections require F
monitoring, and an additional geometric analysis may also be warranted. Op
mitigation may include the reclassification of these intersections as "

Critical intersections have been identified and potential mitigation measu
been discussed. The report represents a conservative estimate of intt
operations based on the guidelines developed by the City of Carlsbad. The
this document is to provide City staff with an indication of the current stat
overall circulation system in terms of intersection and segment capacities a
of service. In the future, this report will be used as a tool for the
identification of conditions in specific areas of the City. Also, the result
