4B# 16,938 TITLE: APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR
A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT
PROJECT NO. 3906
YITG. 10/22/02
IEPT. ENG
CANNON ROAD AND CAR COUNTRY DRIVE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
CITY MGR.
Adopt Resolution No. 2002-309 appropriating funds in the amount of $125,000 from the
General Capital Construction (GCC) fund for the design and construction of the Cannon Road and
Car Country Drive Traffic Signal, Project No. 3906.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
As part of the conditions of approval for the Car Country Expansion development project (CT 87-03),
Carltas Development Company was required to bond for the construction of a traffic signal at
Cannon Road and Car Country Drive. The traffic signal design for this location was included in the
project plans (Drawing No. 285-2C) but the signal was not installed since traffic conditions in 1988
did not warrant installation. The Traffic Signal Improvement Agreement, dated May 9, 1988, states
that release of the developer’s bond is contingent upon the developer’s payment of $92,000 to the
City (which was the estimated cost of the traffic signal in 1988).
With the connection of Faraday Avenue to Cannon Road, the traffic on Cannon Road has increased
significantly since 1988. The subject intersection was ranked #2 on the City of Carlsbad 2002
Traffic Signal Qualification List. Cannon Road Reach 2B is tentatively scheduled to be complete
and opened to traffic between Faraday Avenue and El Camino Real by April 2003. A traffic signal at
Cannon Road and Car Country Drive is now necessary to assign right-of-way at this intersection.
On August 14, 2002, the Traffic Engineer notified Carltas Development Company that the future
traffic signal at Cannon Road and Car Country Drive was warranted and necessary. The developer
has elected to pay the City the cost of the traffic signal per the requirements of the Traffic Signal
Improvement Agreement and has sent a check for the amount of $92,000 to the City. City staff will
now proceed with the re-design of the traffic signal plan to meet current standards and construction
costs of the traffic signal as a Capital Improvement Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is a Class 1 categorical exemption and is, therefore, exempt from the environmental
review process under provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Section 15301 (9. A Notice of Exemption will be issued by the Planning Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
General Capital Construction Fund (GCC) fund appropriations totaling $1 25,000 are required for the
design and construction of the traffic signal. The developer has contributed $92,000 toward the cost
of the signal. The City’s cost will be approximately $33,000, which reflects the increase in cost of
construction and the additional features that the City now requires at new signals such as video
detection and battery back-up. There are sufficient GCC funds available for the appropriation.
