The following services will be provided for a time and materials basis not to exceed
$100,000.00.
. Taskl. Review of existing design alternatives and preliminary environmental report and
finalize the “Preferred Alternative” for the purposes of conducting focused studies.
Review the preliminary design alignment alternatives and the corresponding
environmental report prepared by Ogden to determine the areas for the biological and
cultural resource focused studies.
Conduct a site review of areas identified for focussed biological resource studies by
Ogden.
Revise alignment maps accordingly where potential impacts may be clearly avoided.
Meet with Caltrans to review proposed alignment and approval of footprint.
Develop Environmental Screening Criteria and Agency Coordination
The environmental scree:& criteria will comply with the format of the Initial Study
Checklist provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
and will be consistent with the Environmental Significance checklist provided in the
Caltrans Environmental Handbook. The screening criteria will address the following
environmental issues:
A. Land Use and Planning
The Project Study Report includes a review of existing general plans, zoning codes,
and specific plans to determine the consistency of the project. This section of the
document will include that information, an review of existing land uses, proposed
land uses and the effect of the trail.

EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT COASTAL RAIL TRAIL
B. Population and Housing
Population, existing and projected, will be analyzed to determine the projected
number of users of the trail. It is not anticipated that the trail will have a significant
affect of housing since the trail does not affect existing or future housing.
C. Geology
Discussion on the areas of potential disruption of soil or geological formations will
be discussed. The type of construction will be discussed to determine the potential
impact to the soils along the corridor.
D.
Details on how the project may impact drainage and water quality and how the
proposed design will accommodate existing and future drainage and minimize
impacts on water quality will be discussed. Coordination with Regional Water
Quality Control Board will be included.
E. Air Quality
The object of the air quality analysis will be to identify local and regional
impactshenefits associated with the construction and implementation of the proposed
project. It is expected that the proposed project would produce short-term emissions
of regulated are pollutants during project construction activities, but reduce long-term
emissions during project implementation. An analysis of both short and long term
effects will be provided. The air quality study will be prepared in compliance with
the guidelines and procedures recommended by the California Air Resources Board
(ARB) and the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District.
Transtech will review existing information from SANDAG and SDCAPCD, and
other related documents to determine existing ambient air quality. We will apply
quantitative analyses where possible to assess the project’s relationship to ambient
air quality standards. Qualitative analyses will be provided when quantitative
analyses are not possible or would be largely speculative.

EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT COASTAL RAIL TRAIL
F. TransportatiodCirculation
The project will impact existing transportation and circulation patterns in severa
ways, including increasing the number of bicyclists, walkers, and other trail users ir
the corridor. Trail crossings may have an impact on traffic conditions. Impacts will
be compared with existing conditions in the setting section, and conclusions drawn
regarding on the overall effect to the existing circulation patterns.
G. Biology (including wetlands and riparian resources)
The Project Study Report identifies a number of areas that will require further
evaluation to determine the potential impact to the plant and wildlife along the
corridor.
Pre-Field Investigations - Prior to performance of the field surveys, a pre-field
working species inventories of all plant and wildlife species, previously identified by
the 13 existing EIR’s and technical documents (Section 8 References, Ogden 1997)
will be compiled for use during the field surveys. See Task 3 for technical studies.
€4. Energy and Mineral Resources
This is not anticipated to be a significant impact as the project will not result in
significant disruptions of energy or mineral formations.
1. Safety and Liability
Transtech will utilize existing information and report presented by the Rails to Trails
Conservancy as a part of the Coastal Rail Trail Project Study Report and will
evaluate the proposed rail trail in conjunction with recreation, transportation, safety,
performance standards, accident and safety statistics, and verification of bicycle and
pedestrian volumes. Resolution of trail user safety and the liability exposure of the
rail and trail operators will require some research into existing accidents at selected
locations, comparisons with other similar trails around California, and conclusions
<
on how to mitigate safety and liability impacts to within acceptable limits.

EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT COASTAL RAIL TRAlL
J. Noise
The increased use of the corridor may cause an increase in the level of noise to the
surrounding community. A focused study will be conducted which thoroughly
evaluates the potential increase of users, the effect on the community, as well as the
effect of the rail use on trail users. See Task 3.
K. Public Services
The trail may impact the requirements for public services such as police,
maintenance, recreation, and other activities. Additionally, the trail will provide
recreational facilities for the community. The projected needs for public services will
be identified along with probable costs and service providers. Fiscal impacts will be
identified as will potential resources to mitigate the fiscal impacts.
L. Utilities and Service Systems
The trail may impact existing utilities that are located within the rail corridor. An
analysis of the utility agreements and location of easements will be reviewed. Design
and maintenance solutions will be identified that conform with the utility provider
requirements.
M. Visual Resources
The trail may impact visual resources, especially where it is located adjacent to
homes, near the coast, or where new structures such as bridges are required. A
detailed account of the potential effects due to implementation of the project will be
considered, these include the effects of obstruction of the viewshed, fencing
alternatives, paving, signage, and landscaping.
N. Cultural Resources
Implementation of the trail may affect the historic and/or paleontological resources
along the corridor. A focused study will evaluate the potential affects to cultural
resources and offer mitigation strategies. See task 3 for complete discussion.

EXTENSIONAND AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT COASTAL k4lL TRAIL
P. Recreation (including Coastal Resources)
The project is e2,pected to enchance recreation amenities and access to recreation
along the corridc r. These will be identified and summarized for the Initial Study.
Q.
Transtech will analyze the various alternatives considered, no project alternative, and
the proposed aliipnent and will consider the options of each. The focus on this
study will be to ciiscuss why specific alternatives were considered and rejected and
identify the imps cts of the preferred alternative. Each alignment will be evaIuated
against the other alternatives based on 1) cost, 2) visual impacts, 3) environmental
impacts, 4) acces.;ibility, 5) safety, 6) maintenance, and 7) design constraints. Where
negative impacts cannot be mitigated to a “less than significant” level, alternative
alignments will lie identified that avoid or minimizes impacts. These alternatives
will be evaluated.
Conduct Focuses Technical Studies
Conduct prelimirary scoping meeting with appropriate agencies, to include Fish and
Wildlife, Caltrans, Depart of Fish and Game. Army Corps of Engineers. State Water
Quality Control Board, Coastal Commission, and USMAC Miramar, State of
California Parks and Recreation, and State Lands Commission for direction and
discussion of specific concerns.
Conduct Biological Field Survey and Technical Study for April 1997
In order to provide an adequate level environmental analysis, several focussed
technical studies will be prepared. These studies will address cultural resources,
biological resourc es, noise, air quality, liability, and visual resources. As discussed
in Task I, the project team will maximize the use of existing information. thereby
eliminating repetitive work efforts.
Ogden’s report identified the field survey period for each sensitive species unknown
or expected to oc( ur along the project alignment and generally identified areas where
focussed field surveys should be conducted. The exact locations where the specific
focussed field surveys should be conducted have not been identified. Therefore,
using the results of Section 4 (CNDDB Results) of the Project Study Report, MBA
biologists will conduct pre-field investigations and perform general field surveys
along the entire C’RT right of way.

Preparation of a biological assessment technical report for use in the
biological section of the CEQMEPA document being prepared. The report
will include an impact analysis, recommended mitigation measures intended
to reduce potential project impacts to less than significant (which may
include realignment) and recommendations for additional biological
investigations, if any.
3.3. Conduct Cultural Resources Investigations
According to Ogden’s January 1997 report, cultural resources investigations (pre-
historic and historic archaeology and paleontology) should be conducted “when final
trail alignments and specific information related to site construction (Le., earth
removal, depth of grading, etc.) are known”. Therefore, the main portion of the
cultural resources will not be initiated until August 1997, after realignment of the
trail to address biological concerns raised in the March 1997 biological survey.

Based on an analysis of the January 1997 the following work tasks are recommended.
Task 1 should be conducted in March 1997, in preparation for site surveys to be
conducted in August 1997.
3.3.1. Records Search and Analysis (March 1997)
A current records search report will be purchased for the entire CRT Project
right of way. The records search report would be analyzed to accomplish the
fo Ilowing :
Identify any prehistoric and historic archaeological and paleontological sites
recorded by the San Diego County Natural History Museum, Los Angeles
County Museum of Natural History, and San Diego State University and iflas
appropriate, University of California at Los Angeles, Southwestern
Archaeological Information Center, and
3.3.2. Obtain copies of anyiall records sites and determine the current disposition
of previously recorded resources sites.
3.3.3. A brief analysis report would be prepared documenting the results of the
records search. This information is critical for performance of Task 2.
3.3.4. Field Survey of the Entire CRT Right of way (August 1997)
Upon completion of the analysis of the records search reports, and any realignment
of the trail based on spring surveys conducted under Biological Field Surveys, a field
survey of the entire CRT ROW would be conducted to (a) confirm the disposition of
previously recorded resources sites, (b) if/as necessary, update the site records
previously recorded resources sites, and (c ) search for previously unrecorded cultural
resources sites. The number of field surveys will be determined upon compIetion of
the above tasks in 3.2.
???
3.4. Noise Evaluation
The objective of the noise evaluation will be to identify and quantify the short-term
noise impacts generated by construction activities and the long-term noise impacts
generated by recreation trail use, which may include increased “horn-blowing” by
rail conductors do to the potentially increased number of persons along the right of
way.

INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
STUDY/ANALYSIS APPROACH
1. Develop a “Vkion Statement” for an Integrated Transportation Syster
which is desired to enhance the quality of life for persons who worl
live and visit in Carlsbad. This Vision Statement may include servic
levels desired by the community and the types, or variety, c
transportation services which are envisioned for the future.
2. Complete a multi-agency coordinated review and assessment of the existing, an(
perhaps “phmd’, transportation systems which currently serve the Carlsbad area
or are intended to serve the area within a specified period of time.
am
3. Compare existing or ‘planned” transportation systems to Carlsbad Integrate(
Transportation Vision Statement and identify gaps in the existing system a:
compared to desired services.
4. Prepare a comprehensive plan, or “roadmap”, which will identifL the strategies 01
initiatives to be pursued by the City of Carlsbad through a multi-agencj
implementation effort in order for the City to reach its Vision.
5, Request City Council review of the comprehensive plan and approval of the strategies
to be pursued.

Implementation Stratew:
Hire a Private Consultant to work with City Staff to 1) further develop, or refine, the
“Transportation Vision” stated by the City Council and various stakeholders, 2) complete the
transportation services assessment, and 3) prepare the comprehensive plan for action. The
Consultant will be expected to coordinate the analysis and implementation plan with appropriate
outside agencies, such as NCTD, SANDAG and other stakeholders. The assessment and final
plan will be presented to the City Council for review and approval of the strategies to be pursued.

1. Develop a “Vision Statement” for a Shuttle
System to serve the City of Carlsbad which
is desired to enhance the quality of life for
SHUTULE SYSTEM persons who work, live and visit in
Carlsbad. This Vision Statement may
include desired service points (e.g. the
beach, Legoland, the Village Area, etc.) and
service levels (e.g. 8am to midnight, 9am to
5pm, 24 hours, etc).
STUDYlANALYSlS APPROACH
2. Complete a study to determine demand and financial feasibiiity for the desired Shuttle
System. The report summarizing the study results should identify the various locations within
the City which typically generate a need for transportation services and project the future
demand for a shuttle system. A recommendation should be provided within the report as to
the types of shuttle systems which could be implemented based on the projected need or
demand. Also, the report shall include information on project costs and possible funding
sources
3. If demand is demonstrated by the study results, prepare a comprehensive pian, or
“roadmap”, which will identify the strategies or initiatives to be pursued by the City of
Carlsbad to implement a Shuttle System.
4. Request City Council review of the study results and the comprehensive plan, and approval
of the strategies to be pursued to implement the Shuttle System, if appropriate based on the
study results.

CARLSBAD VILLAGE
Small Area Design Workshop
Szinzrnary of Workshop Process arzd Preferred AZteriiative
A. THE WALKING TOUR
On Friday, November 22, 1996, participants invited to the Carlsbad Village
S~ll Area Desrgi Workshop met at the Carlsbad Coaster station for a tour
of the study area
Participants were given a walking tour route map and a list of questions to
think about during the walk.
The group of 21 toured the area for two hours, most of which was spent in
the vicinity of land owned by the North County Transit District (NCTD),
primarily the railway right of way Land owned by NCTD and the City of
of the area held in private ownerships.
During the walk, participants heard Council member Ramona Finnila and
Debbie Fountain of the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency describe sites where
transitions in use had taken place, where redevelopment efforts havdhave not
been successfU1, and where development opportunities might exist. In
addition, members of the group identified specific sites and businesses along
the walk where they knew of and shared background concerning a particular
use, problem, or issue
B. THE WORKSHOP
PROGRAM
Carlsbad formed the publicly-owned “core” of the study area, with the balance
The Saturday morning workshop was held November 23, 1996, at Carlsbad’s
Senior Center auditorium, 799 Pine Street.
During the first half of the workshop, a summary of conditions,
circumstances, plans, and policies within the study area were presented. An
interactive exercise with workshop participants resulted in an opportunities
and constraints map, Figwe I, which emphasized development potential. In
addition, transit-oriented development techniques were described, to suggest
some approaches which could be applied within Carlsbad Village
In the second half of the program, participants split into two teams, each of
SSS/COUNCIL \W6/1 APRIL97 1

which worked on a plan highlighting new, desirable, and ccrfnlyiic projects. A
catalytic project was considered a development that might generate additional
new investment within the Village, enhance pedestrian access, and/or
accelerate reuse.
After an hour working at tables spread with marking pens, writing tablets, and
1"=200' maps of the study area, a member of each team reported the results
of their efforts to all members of the workshop.
OUTCOME
As the presentations began, the workshop participants seemed initially startled
at the similarity between the recommendations of the two teams. Common
elements in each plan were:
1. Start at the Transit Station - The area east of the Coaster station and
transit stop is considered the best starting point for reuse. Completion of
the Coaster station - and the generally positive community reaction to it -
provides a core around which new uses should cluster.
2. Intensifir Development - As new business and residential areas open in the
Village, an increase in the current densityhntensity is desirable to create
a critical mass. Any increase in intensity, however, must be designed so
that it remain consistent with the atmosphere and character of the Village
area.
3. Emphasize Neighborhood Scale Uses - New business and commercial uses
proposed for the Village were virtually all neighborhood-commercial in
scale and character. Uses included drop-off child care, dry cleaners,
hardware stores, restaurants, and pick-up food shops.
4. Increase Pedestrian Connections - Although the Carlsbad Village has a
strong pedestrian orientation in its current configuration, additional
connects would be valuable. This includes creating a link between State
Street and Roosevelt, especially in the vicinity of the Post Office, and
extending State Street to Pine (see below).
5. Extend State Street - The disconnect between these two major streets was
keenly felt. If State Street were allowed to continue south to connect
with Pine Street, it would afford pedestrians a direct link between two
prominent walking streets, and also increase the commercial importance
of State Street - which also provides access to the Coaster station.
S58'COUNCIL \\'P611 APRIL97 2
e .. 6. Create an ArtisarJMercado Area - A concentration of antique stores,
quaint cottages serving as retail operations, and some small warehouses
occupy several blocks southeast of the central portion of the Village. This
area was considered ripe for development within a unified framework as
a Mercado or artisans center.
7. Scatter Parking Sites - Although the shortage of available parking was
discussed on several occasions during the workshop, resolution of the
parking problem was the same for both teams: provide a series of small to
medium sized parking sites scattered throughout the Village. No one
area.
8. Recomize Hotels as Business Generators - Hotels and other lodging
facilities were felt to be among the most promising of uses in and around
the Village. Absence of adequate lodging was considered an important
reason there wasn’t more pedestrian activity in the Village. Moreover, the
visual role of a hotel as a “gateway - to- Carlsbad” project, was thought
especially valuable.
9. Establish Gateways - Several areas in and adjacent to the Village were
considered important sites where an entrance or gateway to the Village
area could be constructed. These gateways would give the Village more
definition and reinforce the idea that it was a specific and special place.
recommenced a mega-structure to serve the needs of the entire Village
C. THE SITE PLAN
Based on ideas expressed at the Saturday morning workshop, a site plan was
developed to locate some of the major workshop recommendations, and to
see how they fit within Carlsbad Village.
Figwe 2 shows the coaster station at the core of the study area. To the north
are residential and retail/residential uses, especially on NCTC railway land.
Residential development opportunities are also present east and west of the
railway tracks at the northern entrance to the Village.
A series of gateway projects punctuate the site plan. While these projects
could be residential, commercial, or recreational in nature, they must also
function as an entry statement. Gateway projects make it clear that a special
environment lays just beyond them.
New pedestdan links are idended in several areas. Some of the connections
formalize shortcuts currently in use. Others, particularly the State Streetff ine
S58/COUNCIL \-\T6/1AF’RIL97 3

Street connection, represent collective judgement over where connections
ought to exist.
Throughout the site area are a number of special projects that represent
specific workshop recommendations. Potential locations are shown for an
artisan village based on an already-existing land use pattern, a new museum,
a day care facility, and several new hotel developments.
Finally, Figwe 3 is an artist's sketch looking northeast from the Coaster
station. It portrays how low-rise, neighborhood scale development might
look around the station.

WALKING TOUR, NOVEMBER 22, 1996
SANDAG - Carlsbad Village Planning Workshop
Thank you for participating in the workshop and walking tour of the village of Carlsbad, As a participant in the workshop you will be asked to make proposals and judgements regarding th redevelopment of the NCTD land surrounding the rail lines, concentrating on the area near the
station. Proposais for this land will also have an effect on the surrounding property and its fufurc
redevelopment.
As preparation for this workshop, the walking tour will allow you to rediscover the village in light ( possible redevelopment. This worksheet will help you to record your impressions of the area fc further use by you and your workshops team mates in the design sessions on Saturday rnorninc
the 23rd.
The numbers of the questions and statements below correspond to the numbers on the walkin( tour map. As you walk through he village you may want to jot down your observations at these points, or simply mentally record your thoughts. We have selected these stopping points, but you should stop at any others you feel are appropriate.
1. What are your impressions about the station? What surrounding development and uses are would be appropriate?
2, The character Of State Street seems to change somewhat at this intersection. what do YOU envision as appropriate uses and redevelopment opportunities?
3. How does the lagoon affect the redevelopment of this end of State Street and how do you envision this area developing?
4. What is you impression of the NCTD property at this location and how does it relate to the property that fronts on State Street?
5. With this overview of the NCTD property, can you envision its redevelopment? How would that redevelopment affect surrounding property?
6. How does this view of the NCTD property affect you impressions of its redevelopment potential?
7, This is the pedestrian connection and multi-modal transportation connection to busses from
the .Coaster. What impact does the station have on the potential for redevelopment in the area?
ATTA e 0
8. As a major intersection and gateway to the Village, how might this area be improved by the redevelopment of the NCTD land and its impact on surrounding property?
