1.0 Introduction
1 .1 Purpose of Report & Study Objectives
The purpose of this analysis and report is to evaluate and assess the proposed BMW of
Carlsbad dealership project from a traffic and circulation standpoint.
This traffic study has been prepared in accordance with the traffic study guidelines,
requirements and thresholds of significance for the City of Carlsbad.
On September 27, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 743 into law and started a
process intended to fundamentally change transportation impact analysis as part of CEQA
compliance. The Office of Planning and Research (OPR) published its latest Technical
Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA to the California Natural Resources
Agency in December 2018. This Technical Advisory provides recommendations on how to
evaluate transportation impacts under SB 743. These changes include elimination of auto
delay, level of service (LOS), and other similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic
congestion as a basis for determining significant CEQA transportation impacts. The OPR
guidance covers specific changes to the CEQA Guidelines and recommends elimination of
auto delay for CEQA purposes and the use of Vehicle Miles Travelled, or VMT, as the
preferred CEQA transportation metric. This new legislation requires the selection of a VMT
analysis methodology, establishment of VMT thresholds for CEQA transportation impacts,
and identification of feasible mitigation strategies.
Hence, per the new CEQA guidelines and direction of City staff, since the vehicular analysis
is no longer needed for CEQA and the proposed project is consistent with the Car Country
Carlsbad specific Plan 1, this study does not include evaluation of intersection delays.
Therefore, the proposed project requires analysis of the following elements to address
potential impacts under CEQA and per the City of Carlsbad requirements:
• Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis. A detailed VMT analysis for CEQA purposes
has been prepared for the proposed project and is contained in Appendix A of this
report;
• Cannon Road between Avenida Encinas and Paseo del Norte has been identified
through city GMP monitoring as failing to meet LOS standards for vehicles. The City

Council is in the process of exempting the facility from vehicle LOS standards. Based
on the City requirements, if the project adds more than 110 ADT or 11 peak hour
trips to the facility, it is subject to implementing TSM and TOM strategies per
Mobility Element Policy 3-P.11. A TOM plan prepared to comply with the TDM
Ordinance fulfills the Mobility Element requirement. To meet TSM requirements,
the project would pay for the installation of one traffic signal controller. A detailed
TOM Plan has been prepared for the project. The TDM Plan is included in Appendix
B of this report;
• Multi-Modal level of Service (MMLOS);
• Study Area Map Exhibit;
• Trip Generation Calculations; and
• Project Traffic Volumes/Assignment Exhibit.
1.2 Site Location & Project Description
The proposed project is to be located at 1060 Auto Center Court (southwest corner of Car
Country Drive and Cannon Road), in the City of Carlsbad. Currently, the project site is
comprised of two (2) existing buildings with a total of approximately 28,904 square feet of
automobile sales (dealer & repair) and automobile repair center. The existing uses will be
demolished and displaced by the proposed project.
The proposed project consists of approximately 69,161 square feet of automobile sales
(dealer & repair) .
The proposed project will displace the following existing land uses on the project site:
• 3,364 square feet of automobile sales;
• 25,540 square feet of repair center .
The project is planned to open in 2020 and will be evaluated in one (1) single phase .

2.0 Analysis Methodologies & Performance Criteria
This section of the report presents the methodologies used to perform the traffic analyses
summarized in this report in accordance with the City of Carlsbad requirements.
As previously noted, per the new CEQA guidelines and direction of City staff, since the
vehicular analysis is no longer needed for CEQA and the proposed project is consistent with
the Car Country Carlsbad specific Plan 1, this study does not include evaluation of
intersection delays.
Therefore, the proposed project requires analysis of the following elements to address
potential impacts under CEQA and per the City of Carlsbad requirements:
• Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis. A detailed VMT analysis for CEQA purposes
has been prepared for the proposed project and is contained in Appendix A of this

2.1 Multimodal Level of Service Analysis Methodology
The City of Carlsbad 's Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) methodology provides a
qualitative grade assigned to travel modes, ranging from LOS A to LOS F. LOS A reflects a
high service standard for a travel mode, and LOS F reflects a poor service standard for a
travel mode. Each non -auto travel mode (pedestrian, bicycle, and transit) receives its own
LOS score and corresponding letter grade. As part of the City's Mobility Element, streets
were classified into typologies. The typology of the roadway section determines which
multimodal analyses that roadway section is subject to. The intent is to provide a balanced
mobility system that emphasizes primary users as opposed to always providing ideal level of
service for all modes on every facility.
The MMLOS methodology describes the subject modes of travel for a roadway segment
using a range of LOS from LOS A to LOS F, based on the corresponding ranges as shown in
the table below:
LOS Point Score
A 90 -100
B 80 -89
C 70 -79
D 60 -69
E 50 -59
F 0 -49
The City of Carlsbad has developed a MMLOS Tool to aid in the MMLOS analysis
methodology. Below is a brief description of the MMLOS methodology and criteria
outlined in the City's MMLOS Tool :
Pedestrian MMLOS: for pedestrian priority streets, the MMLOS criteria evaluates the
quality of the pedestrian system (e.g. number of vehicle lanes that need to be crossed and
the speed of adjacent t raffic) and the friendliness of the infrastructure at intersections (e .g.
pedestrian countdown heads, dedicated pedestrian phases [e.g. a scramble phase], curb
extensions, refuge median). In addition, the connectivity and contiguity of the pedestrian

system along street sections (particularly ADA-compliant connectivity/contiguity) is a critical
component of pedestrian priority streets.
Bicycle MMLOS: for bicycle priority streets, the MMLOS criteria evaluates the quality of
the bicycle system (e.g. bicycle route, bicycle lanes, or bicycle pathway; presence of bicycle
buffers from the vehicle travel way), the amenities of the system (e.g. presence of bicycle
parking), and the friendliness of the infrastructure (e.g. bicycle detection at intersections,
pavement conditions, presence of vehicle parking). In addition, the connectivity and
contiguity of the bicycle system along street sections is a critical component of bicycle
priority streets.
Transit MMLOS: for transit priority streets, the MMLOS criteria evaluates the transit
vehicle right-of-way (e.g. dedicated or shared, signal priority), hours and frequency of
service (e.g. weekday/weekend hours, peak period highway), performance (e.g. on-time or
late), amenities and safety (e.g. lighting, covered stop, bench, on-board bike/surfboard
storage), and connectivity (e.g. to other transit routes, employment areas, schools, visitor
attractions, and other major destinations).
2.2 Multimodal Level of Service Analysis Performance Criteria
The City's General Plan established an acceptable Level of Service (LOS) standard of LOS D
or better for the travel mode(s) subject to MMLOS analysis.

4.0 Project Traffic Volumes
4.1 Project Trip Generation
Trip generation represents the amount of trips that 1s attracted and produced by a
development.
Trip generation is typically estimated based on the trip generation rates from the latest
Institute of Transportation Engineers (!TE) Trip Generation Manual. However, the County of
San Diego utilizes their own set of trip generation rates. Daily and peak hour trip
generation for the land uses, including the proposed project has been determined based
on trip generation rates published by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)
in the Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002.
This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of trip generation rates for a variety
of land uses.
The proposed project consists of approximately 69,161 square feet of automobile sales
(dealer & repair).
The proposed project will displace the following existing land uses on the project site:
• 3,364 square feet of automobile sales;
• 25,540 square feet of repair center .
Table 4-1 shows the SANDAG trip generation rates utilized for the trip generation analysis
of the project land uses.
Table 4-2 shows the trip generation for the proposed project and existing land uses which
will be displaced by the proposed project utilizing the trip generation rates shown in Table
4-1 .
As shown in Table 4-2, based on the SANDAG trip generation rates, after accounting for
the displaced existing land uses, the proposed project is forecast to generate approximately
2,779 net daily trips, including approximately 124 trips during the AM peak hour and
approximately 208 trips during the PM peak hour.

4.2 Project Trip Distribution
Trip distribution represents the directional orientation of trips to and from the project. Trip
distribution is heavily influenced by the geographical location of the site, the location of
residential, retail, employment, recreational opportunities, and the proximity to the
regional freeway system. The directional orientation of project-generated trips was
determined by evaluating existing and proposed land uses and highways within the
community.
Forecast trip distribution for the proposed project has been developed through discussions
with the City during the scoping process.
Exhibit 4-1 shows the trip distribution for the proposed project.
4.3 Modal Split
Modal split denotes the proportion of traffic generated by a project that would use any of
the transportation modes, namely buses, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trains, carpools, etc.
The traffic reducing potential of public transit and other modes is significant. However, the
traffic projections in this study are conservative because no modal split reduction is applied
to the projections. With the implementation of transit service and provision of alternative
transportation ideas and incentives, the automobile traffic demand can be reduced
significantly.
4.4 Project Traffic Volumes / Assignment
The assignment of project-generated trips to and from the project site on the adjoining
roadway system is based on the project's trip generation, trip distribution, and proposed
arterial highway and local street systems this traffic study assumes would be in place by the
time of occupancy of the site.
Project traffic volumes are shown on Exhibit 4-2 .

5.0 Multimodal LOS Analysis
The following study roadway segments have been evaluated for the following types of
multimodal level of service (MMLOS) analyses, in accordance with the City of Carlsbad
Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines:
• Cannon Road -Avenida Encinas to Car Country Drive:
o Transit LOS;
• Car Country Drive -Cannon Road to Auto Center Court:
o Pedestrian LOS;
o Bicycle LOS;
• Auto Center Court -Car Country Drive to Cul-de-sac:
o Pedestrian LOS; and
o Bicycle LOS.
Cannon Road is a four-lane divided major roadway with a posted speed limit of 50 mph.
This roadway segment has striped bike lanes on both sides of the street, and therefore no
on-street parking is available on this roadway. There are pedestrian sidewalks on both sides
of the roadway, but the sidewalk on the north side of the roadway only extends from
Avenida Encinas to 1-5 northbound ramps.
Car Country Drive is a two-lane divided local roadway with a posted speed limit of 35
mph. This roadway segment is not a bike route and does not provide on-street parking .
There are pedestrian sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. The proposed project has an
unsignalized access driveway along this roadway segment .
Auto Center Court is a two-lane undivided local roadway with no posted speed limit. This
roadway segment is not a bike route. There is on-street parking available and pedestrian
sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. The proposed project has two unsignalized access

driveways along this roadway segment. There are also other unsignalized access driveways
to other developments along this roadway segment.
Table 5-1 summarizes the results of the MMLOS analysis for the study roadway segments
listed above. As shown in Table 5-1, all study roadway segments subject to MMLOS
analysis meet the City's General Plan standard of LOS D or better for every travel mode
subject to evaluation, with the exception of the following roadway segment which does
not meet the LOS standard:
• Car Country Drive -Cannon Road to Auto Center Court
o Bicycle LOS (both approaches).
The following improvements are proposed in order for this study roadway segment to meet
the City's General Plan standard of LOS D or better:
• Install striped bike lanes on both sides of Car Country Drive with the
appropriate signage. The bike lane roadway shall be free of any obstructions
and meet MUTCD signing and striping design guidelines.
Detailed MMLOS analysis worksheets and detail sheets are included in Appendix C.

6.0 GMP Roadway Segment Analysis
Cannon Road between Avenida Encinas and Paseo del Norte has been identified through
city GMP monitoring as failing to meet LOS standards for vehicles. The City Council is in the
process of exempting the facility from vehicle LOS standards. Based on the City
requirements, if the project adds more than 110 ADT or 11 peak hour trips to the facility, it
is subject to implementing TSM and TDM strategies per Mobility Element Policy 3-P.11. A
TDM plan prepared to comply with the TDM Ordinance fulfills the Mobility Element
requirement. To meet TSM requirements, the project would pay for the installation of one
traffic signal controller. A detailed TDM Plan has been prepared for the project. The TDM
Plan is included in Appendix B of this report.

7 .0 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis
On September 27, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 743 into law and started a
process intended to fundamentally change transportation impact analysis as part of CEQA
compliance. The Office of Planning and Research (OPR) published its latest Technical
Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA to the California Natural Resources
Agency in December 2018. This Technical Advisory provides recommendations on how to
evaluate transportation impacts under SB 7 43. These changes include elimination of auto
delay, level of service (LOS), and other similar measures of vehicular capacity or traffic
congestion as a basis for determining significant CEQA transportation impacts. The QPR
guidance covers specific changes to the CEQA Guidelines and recommends elimination of
auto delay for CEQA purposes and the use of Vehicle Miles Travelled, or VMT, as the
preferred CEQA transportation metric. This new legislation requires the selection of a VMT
analysis methodology, establishment of VMT thresholds for CEQA transportation impacts,
and identification of feasible mitigation strategies .
A detailed VMT analysis has been prepared for the proposed project and is contained in
Appendix A.
As a regional retail project, the City of Carlsbad's draft VMT Analysis Guidelines (May 2020)
state that the proposed project would be considered to have a significant transportation
impact if it results in a net increase in VMT compared to the no project condition. Per the
VMT contained in Appendix A, the new dealership location is expected to generate 501
fewer vehicle miles on the busiest day as compared to the existing dealership location. In
other words, the proposed project is not expected to cause a net increase in VMT, and
therefore does not cause a significant transportation impact per City of Carlsbad guidelines .

in the Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002 .
This publication provides a comprehensive evaluation of trip generation rates for a variety
of land uses .
Based on the SANDAG trip generation rates, after accounting for the displaced existing
land uses, the proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 2,779 net daily trips,
including approximately 124 trips during the AM peak hour and approximately 208 trips
during the PM peak hour .
9.3 Multimodal LOS Analysis Summary
The following study roadway segments have been evaluated for the following types of
multimodal level of service (MMLOS) analyses, in accordance with the City of Carlsbad
Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines:
• Cannon Road -Avenida Encinas to Car Country Drive:
o Transit LOS;
• Car Country Drive -Cannon Road to Auto Center Court:
o Pedestrian LOS;
o Bicycle LOS;
• Auto Center Court -Car Country Drive to Cul-de-sac:

All study roadway segments subject to MMLOS analysis meet the City's General Plan
standard of LOS D or better for every travel mode subject to evaluation, with the exception
of the following roadway segment which does not meet the LOS standard:
• Car Country Drive -Cannon Road to Auto Center Court:
o Bicycle LOS (both approaches).
The following improvements are proposed in order for this study roadway segment to meet
the City's General Plan standard of LOS D or better:
• Install striped bike lanes on both sides of Car Country Drive with the
appropriate signage. The bike lane roadway shall be free of any obstructions
and meet MUTCD signing and striping design guidelines .
9.4 GMP Roadway Segment Analysis Summary
Cannon Road between Avenida Encinas and Paseo del Norte has been identified through
city GMP monitoring as failing to meet LOS standards for vehicles. The City Council is in the
process of exempting the facility from vehicle LOS standards. Based on the City
requirements, if the project adds more than 110 ADT or 11 peak hour trips to the facility, it
is subject to implementing TSM and TDM strategies per Mobility Element Policy 3-P.11. A
TDM plan prepared to comply with the TDM Ordinance fulfills the Mobility Element
requirement. To meet TSM requirements, the project would pay for the installation of one
traffic signal controller. A detailed TDM Plan has been prepared for the project. The TDM
Plan is included in Appendix B of this report.
9.5 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis Summary
A detailed VMT analysis has been prepared for the proposed project and is contained in
Appendix A.
As a regional retail project, the City of Carlsbad's draft VMT Analysis Guidelines (May 2020)
state that the proposed project would be considered to have a significant transportation

impact if it results in a net increase in VMT compared to the no project condition. Per the
VMT contained in Appendix A, the new dealership location is expected to generate 501
fewer vehicle miles on the busiest day as compared to the existing dealership location. In
other words, the proposed project is not expected to cause a net increase in VMT, and
therefore does not cause a significant transportation impact per City of Carlsbad guidelines .
9.6 Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
The proposed project is subject to the City of Carlsbad Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Ordinance.
A detailed transportation demand management plan has been prepared for the proposed
project. The detailed report has been included as Appendix B to this traffic study.
9. 7 Site Access Recommendations
• Sight distance at all project access points should be reviewed with respect to
City of Carlsbad sight distance standards at the time of preparation of final
grading, landscaping, and street improvement plans .
• Provide appropriate signage and pavement markings at the project site
driveways, including stop bars and stop signs

November 12, 2020
Cliff Powell, AutoNation
Katy Cole and Cecily Taylor, Fehr & Peers
Subject: BMW Carlsbad SB 743 Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis
SO20-0354
This memorandum presents the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis for the proposed BMW
Carlsbad project (the "project") located in Carlsbad, California. The project is applying under the
Class 32 Infill Exemption per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (15332). A detailed
VMT analysis is not required; however, a criterion for utilizing a Class 32 Infill Exemption is:
"Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality" (CEQA Guidelines, 2019, page 281 ).
This memorandum evaluates the effect that the proposed project would have on regional VMT to
assist the applicant and City of Carlsbad confirm that the project is not presumed to result in any
significant effects related to traffic. Note that the criterion in the CEQA Guidelines identifies
"effects relating to traffic" and does not specifically identify evaluation of VMT; however, given
VMT is the new transportation metric per SB 743 and required in the current CEQA Guidelines this
memorandum presents information on the effect that the project will have on VMT. The VMT
analysis was conducted consistent with the methodologies described in the City of Carlsbad 's
VMT Analysis Guidelines, June 2020.
The proposed project is located within the City of Carlsbad on Car Country Drive, just south of
Cannon Road. The project entails closing the existing BMW Encinitas dealership and automobile
repair center and relocating those operations to the proposed project site in Carlsbad. The new
location in Carlsbad will have a similar scale of operations (in terms of the number of anticipated
customers) as the existing Encinitas site. In addition, the new location in Carlsbad has previously
operated as a car dealership and repair uses.
The findings of the VMT analysis (presented in detail below) are that the BMW Carlsbad project is
not expected to result in a net increase in total regional VMT compared to the no project
condition. Accordingly, as a regional retail project, the project will have a less than significant VMT
transportation impact per the City of Carlsbad guidelines.

Detailed VMT Analysis
The City of Carlsbad has prepared guidelines for performing VMT analysis per SB 743 that are
generally consistent with the OPR Technical Advisory. As a regional retail project, BMW Carlsbad
would have a significant VMT impact if the project is expected to cause a net increase in regional
VMT compared to the no project condition. The methodology and analysis to determine the
change in regional VMT due to the BMW Carlsbad project is as follows:
Step 1: Project Screening
The first step in performing transportation VMT impact analysis is to compare the project
characteristics to the City of Carlsbad's screening criteria to determine if the project can be
presumed to have a less-than-significant impact. The screening criteria are detailed in Table 1.
Table 1: BMW Carlsbad VMT Screening Analysis
Screening A 1 • Is the Project
Criteria na Y5'5 Screened?
Small Project
Projects Located
Near Transit
Local-Serving
Retail
A small project is defined in the City of Carlsbad guidelines as
generating less than 110 daily trips after applying trip-reduction
strategies.
Per the BMW of Carlsbad Transportation Impact Analysis (RK
Engineering Group, Inc., November 2020) and using the San Diego
Association of Governments (SANDAG)'s (Not So) Brief Guide of
Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region (2002), the
BMW Carlsbad project is anticipated to generate 2,827 total net daily
trips. Note that this calcu lation is specific to the project site in Carlsbad
and does not account for the closure of the existing Encinitas BMW.
2,827 daily trips are greater than 110 daily trips; therefore, the project is
not considered a small project.
The City of Carlsbad guidelines state that projects proposed within ½
mile of the Carlsbad Village Coaster Station, the Carlsbad Poinsettia
Coaster Station, or the Plaza Camino Real transit center would be
No
presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact as long as project No
features do not otherwise indicate high VMT generation.
The project is farther than ½ mile from each of the listed transit stops,
and therefore is not located near transit.
Local-serving retail is defined in the City of Carlsbad guidelines as
development under 50,000 sf in size. The proposed BMW Carlsbad
project consists of 69,161 sf of retail development, and furthermore No
based on historic BMW Encinitas customer data is not considered to be
local-serving.

The project is not a public facility and therefore this screening category No does not apply to BMW Carlsbad.
The project is not a residential development and therefore this
screening category does not apply to BMW Carlsbad.
The City of Carlsbad guidelines state that a redevelopment project can
be screened out from preparing a VMT analysis if the proposed
project's total VMT is less than the existing land use's total VMT.
BMW Carlsbad is redeveloping an existing automobile plaza center,
containing automobile smog and repair services, rental facilities, and a
No
previous dealership site. However, the existing uses to be displaced No
generate substantially fewer trips than the proposed dealership, as
indicated by the trip generation calculation in the BMW of Carlsbad
Transportation Impact Analysis (RK Engineering Group, Inc., November
2020). Therefore, these existing uses to be displaced are not expected
to generate substantial VMT as compared to the proposed project, and
accordingly the project does not meet the screening criterion.
Source: Fehr & Peers, 2020.
As shown in Table 1, the project does not meet the City of Carlsbad's VMT screening. Therefore, a
VMT analysis is necessary for the project to determine if the project has VMT transportation
impacts.
Step 2: VMT Analysis: Model Calculations
The second step for a regional retail project that is not screened out in Step 1 is to estimate the
project's VMT using a model. Project VMT for BMW Carlsbad is estimated in this analysis by a
sketch model based on detailed information regarding customer travel, employee travel, and
project operations. This estimate is more accurate than would be possible using a travel demand
model, which does not distinguish between types of retail uses, does not have detailed
information on the dealership's customer base or employee home locations, and would not
accurately capture travel behavior for this special land use.
The regional change in total VMT attributed to the BMW dealership relocation and other project
features for a Saturday (the day when the dealership generates the most VMT) is described in the
following sections and summarized in Table 2. This estimate is considered to be a worst-case
scenario in that it does not account for additional efficiencies that are expected to occur at the
new location, which are discussed in the section entitled "Other Efficiencies."

Source: Data provided by AutoNation; Fehr & Peers, 2020.
Notes:
VMT from Customers and VMT from Employees Subtotals are calculated by multiplying VMT per Round-Trip and the
number of Round-Trips anticipated on a Saturday for each population type. For example, 60.54 VMT per Customer Round-
Trip x 135 Saturday Customer Round-Trips = 8,173 VMT generated by Customers on a Saturday.
* Based on weekday trip generation for existing uses per the BMW of Carlsbad Transportation Impact Analysis, (RK
Engineering Group, Inc., November 2020). The VMT estimate does not account for higher Saturday trip generation and
assumes an average trip length of only one (1) mile in order to present a conservative project VMT estimate.
VMT Due to Land Use Location
Because the project will be located less than 10 miles away from the existing site, it is assumed
that the customer base and employee distribution will not change with the relocation. Detailed
zip code data of current employees and customers from 2017-2020 is presented in Appendix A.
A geospatial analysis was performed to determine the driving distance from the centroid of each
zip code to the existing location and to the proposed project location. These two sets of distances
were used to calculate the difference in VMT generated by each employee and each customer
based on making one (1) round-trip to each location. The analysis determined that the average
employee would need to travel 0.37 mile less on a round-trip to the new location as compared to
the existing location, while the average customer will need to travel 3.68 miles farther (see
Table 2). Each employee and customer round-trip is assumed to be made by car, such that these
average distances are equivalent to vehicle miles.

November 12, 2020
Page 5 of 9
Existing customer operations are summarized in Table 3. As shown, Saturdays are the busiest day
for the existing site, serving approximately 48 car service customers and 38 car sales customers.
According to AutoNation, these customer operations also generally require all 90 existing
employees to work on Saturdays. While each employee and car sales customer will make one (1)
round-trip to the dealership, service customers generally make two (2) round-trips: one to drop
off the car and another to pick up the car after service. Assuming that both customer sets have
the same geographic distribution, service customers accordingly generate twice as much VMT as
sales customers. Finally, it is assumed that the busiest day at the Carlsbad location will generate
the same number of customer trips and require the same number of employees as the existing
location does. While the project's TOM Plan (see BMW of Carlsbad Transportation Demand
Management Plan, prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc., October 2020) presents 133 project
employees, there is no specific plan to expand operations at this time, and accordingly only 90
employees are assumed in this report.

Notes:
Each service and body shop visit is assumed to generate two (2) round-trips: one to drop of the car and another to pick
it up. Each sales visit is assumed to generate one (1) round-trip.
Weekday and Saturday round -trips are rounded up to the nearest integer.
It is also noted that employees might make mid-day trips, such as over a lunch break. However,
these trips are expected to be local, such as to a nearby restaurant or other locally-serving retail,
such that the nature of these trips will not substantially contribute to VMT and will not
substantially change in length due to the relocation to Carlsbad. Therefore, the VMT estimates for
employees presented in this document calculates only the VMT associated with commutes, which
have the largest contribution to employee-generated VMT and are the most accurate to estimate
based on available data.
The final contributing factor to VMT based on project location is accounting for the VMT
generated by existing uses at the Carlsbad site that will be closed with the project. Per the BMW
of Carlsbad Transportation Impact Analysis (RK Engineering Group, Inc., November 2020), a
combination of existing automobile sales and automobile repair center uses will be closed that
currently generate 631 trips on a weekday. While Saturday trip generation is expected to be

higher, a credit of only 631 trips was assumed for the calculation in Table 2, and these trips were
assumed to have an average trip length of only one (1) mile. These assumptions result in a
conservative amount of credit for existing uses and accordingly generate a worst-case project
VMT estimate. As shown in Table 2, average trip lengths at the BMW Encinitas site are
approximately 30 miles for customers and 19 miles for employees (calculated by dividing the VMT
per round-trip in half).
The VMT generated due to the relocation of the dealership and automobile service land uses is
summarized in Table 2. As shown, the project is expected to decrease regional VMT by 168
vehicle miles with the relocation from Encinitas to Carlsbad because the decrease in employee
vehicle miles and the VMT credit associated with existing uses to be closed outweigh the increase
in customer vehicle miles. Furthermore, there are additional factors to account for related to
project features at the existing and proposed sites, as discussed in the next section .
VMT Due to Project Features
The proposed project in Carlsbad will generate less VMT than the existing Encinitas BMW due to
two key project features: the larger site footprint that will not require remote inventory lots as are
used at the existing site, and a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan to reduce
employee VMT. Each of these reductions is discussed and estimated as follows .
The current location of the BMW dealership in Encinitas does not allow for all of the sales
inventory to be held on site. Overflow inventory is held across five (5) remote lots, located an
average distance of 3.6 miles from the dealership. Each round-trip visit to a remote lot
accordingly generates 7.2 vehicle miles traveled. Based on data from AutoNation, there are
approximately 35 visits to the remote lots each week, evenly distributed across each remote lot
location. Assuming that remote lot visits trend proportionally with car sales customer visits, this
equates to approximately 12 remote lot visits on the busiest day. This means that the existing site
generates (12 visits x 7.2 VMT per visit) = 86 VMT due to accessing remote inventory, which will
no longer be generated at the new location. In addition, sometimes a customer follows the sales
representative to the remote lot in their private automobile. When this occurs, it doubles the VMT
due to having the inventory off-site. To present a worst-case scenario, this was not accounted for
in the calculation.
The proposed project has also developed a TDM Plan (see BMW of Carlsbad Transportation
Demand Management Plan, prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc., October 2020) in accordance
with the City of Carlsbad TDM Ordinance for non-residential projects. The TDM program consists
of measures that will encourage employees to commute by bike, transit, or carpool, and will allow
for alternative work schedules that reduce the number of days employees travel to work (via

telework or shifted schedules). The project has agreed to achieve a 25% mode share of these
alternative commute options1.
According to the City of Carlsbad's VfVTT Analysis Guidelines (June 2020), a VMT reduction can be
applied if a TDM Plan is proposed as part of the project (i.e., as a project feature). For the
proposed BMW Carlsbad project, alternative modes encouraged by the TDM Plan are expected to
reduce VMT for each employee that shifts from driving alone by a minimum of 10% (estimated
based on a "9/80" schedule of 9 working days to total 80 working hours rather than the standard
10 working days) to a maximum of 100% (via biking or existing transit service). It is assumed that
teleworking is not an option for the majority of BMW Carlsbad employees due to the nature of
car dealership operations (i.e., car service and car sales cannot be done remotely). Based on this
assumption, the average VMT reduction for employees shifting modes is expected to be
approximately 50%, which is the reduction expected for each carpool of two (2) employees that
would otherwise drive alone. Multiplying this reduction by the 25% alternative mode share of
employees equates to a total reduction of 12.5% of employee-generated VMT. Based on input
from AutoNation, approximately 5 to 10% of current employees are estimated to use alternative
modes for their commute to BMW Encinitas. If the high end of 10% of current employees are
assumed to use alternative modes on a typical Saturday, and each of these employees averages a
50% reduction VMT, the VMT generated at the existing BMW dealership site would be reduced by
168 vehicles miles, as accounted for in Table 2 .
As shown in Table 2, the VMT associated with project features is expected to decrease by 333
vehicle miles at the proposed project site as compared to the existing dealership location. This
decrease in VMT due to project features offsets the increase in VMT due to the land use location
such that the net change in total regional VMT due to the project is expected to be a decrease of
501 vehicle miles .
Other Efficiencies
It is important to the note that the calculation presented in Table 2 does not account for
additional factors that are expected to further reduce the total regional VMT due to the project.
These factors include a potential change in customer base distribution, a potential change in
employee distribution, customer trip generation efficiencies due to proximity with other car
dealerships, and additional VMT associated with remote inventory at the existing dealership
location. Each of these is described further below.
; Per City of Carlsbad TOM Ordinance, 25,1;,; mode share is required for 11ew developments until 2025. and
40% mode share is required by 2035 Mode share will be monitored and reported and adjustn1e11ts to the
TOM plan will be made if a proJect is 11ot achiev111g its mode share goals. Therefore. 25% rs a conservative
estimate .

While the project will relocate the dealership by less than 10 miles, as stated previously, it is
possible that this added distance for customers from the south will cause some to instead choose
to do business with another service center or automotive dealership (such as the BMW dealership
located in Kearny Mesa). The relocation of the BMW dealership may also draw more customers
from the north who currently visit other dealerships if the new Carlsbad location is a closer option
(such as compared to the BMW dealership located in Vista). Because the number of customers is
expected to remain similar to what was documented at the existing BMW Encinitas location, any
change in the customer base distribution due to the relocation is expected to decrease the
average VMT generated per customer .
Similarly, the project relocation may also cause some employees to desire a transfer to the other
nearby AutoNation-owned BMW dealership in Vista. The employee location data provided by
AutoNation for both dealership locations showed that some BMW Vista employees live in
Carlsbad, and some BMW Encinitas employees live in Fallbrook. If any of these employees wished
to and were permitted to transfer to the closer dealership location, the average VMT generated
per employee would decrease .
Another project feature that is expected to decrease customer-generated VMT is the proximity of
the proposed project to other car dealerships. At the BMW Carlsbad location, there will be many
more dealerships of similar-tier cars in the surrounding area than are found in the surrounding
area of the current BMW Encinitas location. Because customers shopping for a BMW may also
shop for a Mercedes, Lexus, or Audi, customer-generated VMT is expected to be reduced by
locating a BMW dealership closer to these similar-tier car dealerships .
Finally, there is expected to be some VMT generated at the existing BMW Encinitas location in
addition to what was calculated in Table 2. The calculation assumed that only one vehicle made
the round-trip to the remote lot (i.e., the sales associate travels to and from the remote lot while
the customer remains at the dealership). However, anecdotal evidence indicates that customers
sometimes follow the sales associate in their own vehicle to the remote lot. Because this would
result in an additional vehicle traveling to the remote lot, the VMT of a round-trip with the
customer would be double that of a round-trip made by only the sales associate.
Because it is difficult to accurately estimate the effect of each of these factors on VMT, they were
not accounted for in the VMT estimate presented in Table 2. Accordingly, the VMT estimate is
considered to be worst-case because each of these factors would further reduce the total regional
VMT due to the proposed project.
Step 3: Compare to the Significance Threshold
As a regional retail project, the City of Carlsbad's VMT Analysis Guidelines (June 2020) state that
the proposed project would be considered to have a significant transportation impact if it results
in a net increase in VMT compared to the no project condition. As shown in Table 2, the new

dealership location is expected to generate 501 fewer vehicle miles on the busiest day as
compared to the existing dealership location. In other words, the proposed project is not
expected to cause a net increase in VMT, and therefore does not cause a significant
transportation impact per City of Carlsbad guidelines .

"North" is designated for those zip codes that failed to calculate a path using the GIS method. However, since all of these zip codes lie north of
the Los Angeles area, the change in distance was estimated using the nearest zip code. These customers would substantially drive up the
average trip length per customer at each location, but the change in VMT would not be affected.

1.0 Introduction
The proposed BMW of Carlsbad dealership project consists of approximately 69,161 square
feet of automobile sales (dealer & repair). The project site is currently in use by
approximately 28,904 square feet of automobile sales (dealer & repair) and automobile
repair center. The proposed project is located at 1060 Auto Center Court (southwest corner
of Car Country Drive and Cannon Road), in the City of Carlsbad. The project is proposing to
provide a total of 309 parking spaces, including 49 employee spaces, and will employ 133
full-time employees. A location map and site plan are provided in Exhibits A and B,
respectively.

TDM Plan & Objectives
For t he purposes of the TDM Plan, employee average dai ly trips are calcu lated using the
table below :
Use Employee ADT for Employee ADT per

The project is forecast to generate approximately 3 15 em ployee average daily trips . As a
result, the City of Carlsbad is requesting a Tier 3 TDM Plan per Section 2.2 of the City of
Carlsbad Transportation Demand Management Handbook, which outlines the TDM tiered
requirements in the following table:

In order to reduce traffic to and from the site, the City of Carlsbad has requested the
project create a Transportation Demand Management (TOM) plan. The TOM plan will
provide the future occupants of the building with additional transportation options in
order to reduce vehicle trips and VMT (vehicle miles traveled). RK utilized the City of
Carlsbad Transportation Demand Management Handbook, June 2019 as a reference for
guidelines and recommendations pertaining to City approved TOM strategies as part of this
analysis .
The primary objective of this TOM plan is to reduce the number of SOV (single occupant
vehicle) employee trips to and from the project site. In order to reduce the amount of
vehicular traffic, the number of people driving alone to the building can be reduced by
diverting a portion of employees to alternative modes of transportation. Common vehicle
trip reduction strategies include walking, public transit, bicycle, carpool, vanpool, monetary
incentives, etc. A successful TDM plan incorporates many strategies which can facilitate
convenient access to transit; provide a pedestrian-friendly environment, promote non-
automobile travel and can support the goals of a trip reduction program.
The location of the proposed project allows the employees to take advantage of the
existing network of public transit and multi-use trail offerings. The City of Carlsbad offers
extensive public transit and multi-use trails. The BMW of Carlsbad development is proposed
to be located in the southwest corner of the Car Country Drive/ Cannon Road intersection .
As a result, the project can utilize existing public transit services with two (2) bus stops
located within a mile of the site. Class II Bike Lanes are also conveniently provided near the
proposed project site. Based on the City of Carlsbad General Plan Bikeway Master Plan,
bicycle and pedestrian facilities are planning to continue to expand in the future near the
project site .

2.0 Transportation Demand Management Plan Elements
Transportation Demand Management is the use of strategies to make more efficient use of
existing transportation facilities in order to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. This
includes strategies to increase the vehicle occupancy (the number of occupants per vehicle)
during the AM/PM peak hour commutes, diverting drivers to alternative transportation, and
reducing lunchtime vehicle trips. This involves providing opportunities to reduce driving
alone and providing incentives for alternative modes of transportation.
The number of employee average daily trips (> 275 trips) the proposed BMW of Carlsbad
dealership is forecast to generate lends itself to Tier 3 TOM requirements, per the City of
Carlsbad TOM Ordinance, which are the following:
• Three (3) required base strategies yielding 4 points;
• Selection of infrastructure improvements and non-infrastructure programmatic
strategies yielding an additional 14 points; and
• Agreement to adhere to monitoring and reporting requirements .
A Tier 3 TOM Plan requires a total of 18 points .
2.1 Required Base Strategies
The three (3) required base strategies and their corresponding associated points are the
following:
1. Designated Transportation Coordinator (TC)
2. New Hire Transportation Information
3. Citywide TOM Program
Each of the above strategies are described below .

,,,. .. .. ..
Designated Transportation Coordinator (TC)
All developments subject to the TDM ordinance are required to designate an on-site
transportation coordinator responsible for ensuring that infrastructure is maintained,
policies and programs are implemented, and amenities and partnerships are maintained as
described in the approved TDM Plan and otherwise ensuring compliance with City of
Carlsbad TDM Plan requirements. This requirement is indefinite and must be in place prior
to issuance of the certificate of occupancy. If a property changes hands or a new property
manager is hired, a new TC must be designated. Up-to-date contact information for the TC
must be on file with the city of the life of the building .
New Hire Transportation Information
All developments subject to the TDM ordinance are required to ensure that transportation
options information is distributed to new employees during the hiring and orientation
process .

• A printed community map that shows area businesses, parks, community centers,
transit routes/stops, and bike paths/routes, with a scale based on travel time rather
than distance.
• The sale of transit passes on-site at the receptionist in the building lobby, as a
service for employees to conveniently purchase their monthly transit passes. Passes
can be sold at a discounted price for employees as an incentive.
• A program that tracks employee commute trips and recognizes top sustainable
commuters monthly with prizes. This will also draw in new participants and
encourage on-going sustainable participation .
• An annual social event (i.e. barbecues, food trucks, movie screenings) for employees
where they can learn about the available travel options and interact with their
neighbors and fellow employees .
• A transportation kiosk located in the building lobby that includes the community
map and other transportation resources, such as bus timetables .
Alternative Work Schedules
Implement an alternative work schedule program that allows eligible employees to work a
compressed work schedule. Eligible employees will have the option to choose from the
following:
• Four (4) 10-hour days per week; or
• 80 hours in nine (9) days every two weeks.
The proposed Tier 3 TDM Plan yields a total of 20 points (18 required) .
2.4 Monitoring and Reporting
All development projects that are subject to a TDM Plan are required to begin to monitor
the alternative mode share of commute trips to the site through employee surveys within
12 months of reaching 75% occupancy or within 18 months of initial occupancy,
whichever occurs first, per Section 2.7 of the City of Carlsbad Transportation Demand

3.0 Alternative Transportation and Work Schedules
The following TDM Plan contains interrelated strategies to make each element more
effective. These strategies include (1) Promoting alternative transportation, and (2)
Allowing alternative work schedules. They are described in detail below .
3.1 Alternative Transportation
A key to getting staff to use alternative transportation is informing and educating
employees about the availability and benefits of alternative transportation modes. This
educational and promotional function is the responsibility of the Employee Transportation
Coordinator (TC), who should provide the following information and services to the tenants
as described below.
Public Transit Options
The location of the project site along Cannon Road makes the site easily served by public
transit. Currently, bus and rail transit services operate nearby and may be possible
commute options for tenants of the building .
Public transit use is the most ideal of the TDM strategies. It is a total removal of a vehicle
trip from the roadways and the need for a parking space, rather than merely shifting the
time of a vehicle trip. Making public transit services more readily available to the employees
of the site would allow the employees more opportunity to take advantage of public transit
to get to work. Utilizing public transit would also reduce parking demand and traffic
impacts .
Using public transit also results in savings to people who start using it. They save money on
fuel and the mileage on their cars. Additionally, they also gain time to use when riding
public transit to read, sleep, or work .

Bus Services
The Breeze Bus System in the City of Carlsbad is provided by the North County Transit
District (NCTD). With thirty (30) routes, this public transit bus service runs on major arterial
and collector streets in North San Diego County. Each route runs at approximately half-
hour intervals. The NCTD Bus System is included in Appendix B .
Breeze route 444 is the bus line that operates in the vicinity of the project site, as shown on
Exhibit D. Route 444 has four (4) bus stops nearby, and their locations are briefly described
below .
1. Bus Stop # 22829 is located on the west side of Amada Drive just south of Fleet
Street North .
2. Bus Stop # 22828 is located on the east side of Amada Drive just north of Fleet
Street North
3. Bus Stop # 24379 is located on the north side of Cannon Road between Legoland
Drive and Grand Pacific Drive .
4. Bus Stop # 24378 is located on the south side of Cannon Road between Legoland
Drive and Grand Pacific Drive .
Route 444 provides a connection to the Coaster commuter rail service via Faraday Ave. and
Rutherford Rd. Route 444 operates Monday-Friday from approximately 7:14am -9:14am
going northbound from the Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster Station, and from approximately
4:39pm -5:39pm going southbound towards the Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster Station.
Route 444 offers two (2) trips in the AM hours and two (2) trips in the PM hours. Route
444 facilitates transit to employees from the Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster Station to the
work site in the morning, and from the work site to the Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster Station
in the afternoon .

The project should provide bus service maps and information to both its guests and
employees to further promote the use of local transit .
Train Service
The NCTD provides public trains service through the Coaster Commuter Rail and Sprinter
Hybrid Rail for longer distance commuters. Access to the Coaster and Sprinter train stations
is provided via Breeze bus routes, as described below .
The Coaster Commuter Rail runs along a scenic coastal north-south path through San
Diego County, serving eight (8) stations between Oceanside and downtown San Diego .
More than twenty (20) trains run on weekdays, with additional service on the weekends .
The closest station to the project site is the Carlsbad Poinsettia Coaster Station,
approximately 2-3 miles from the site, which can be accessed from the project site via
Breeze Route 444 .
Similarly, the Sprinter Hybrid Rail runs east-west for twenty-two (22) miles along the
Highway 78 corridor. The Sprinter serves fifteen (15) stations and connects Oceanside,
Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido. The closest stations to the project site are the Oceanside
Transit Center, which can be accessed from the project site via Breeze Route 444 and the
Coaster Rail; and the El Camino Real Station, which can be accessed from the project site
via Breeze Routes 444 and 309. Both stations are approximately 6-7 miles from the site .
Motorcycle and Bicycle Use
Although the automobile is the most common type of vehicle used for commuting in
Southern California, other vehicle types exist that accomplish the same purpose with much
less traffic and pollution impact. Currently, the motorcycle and bicycle are the vehicle types
that have the narrowest profile of all vehicles and cause the least traffic impact.
Motorcycles provide the same amount of mobility cars provide yet produces low traffic and
parking impact. They occupy less than half the space of a car, even less compared to a
sports utility vehicle (SUV). In traffic, a motorcycle easily bypasses traffic congestion due to

Ill
its small size. Parking has traditionally been designed for automobiles since motorcycles are
not a primary means of transportation, thus no motorcycle parking is usually provided for
new developments. Although motorcycles have some drawbacks compared with an
automobile, growing congestion in the region may make motorcycle use more desirable .
Biking should be encouraged since it is has low traffic impact, is non-polluting and healthy
for the commuter. Southern California is particularly well suited for bicycle commuting due
to its temperate climate, and research has indicated that a commute distance of 1 to 7
miles can easily be done on a bicycle. In addition, all Breeze System buses have bike racks,
making bike commuting very convenient and extend the range of a bike commuter.
Bikeways have also been implemented throughout the city, which make bicycling safer and
more convenient. The closest bike facility to the site is the bike lane along Cannon Road.
The City of Carlsbad General Plan Bikeway Master Plan is shown on Exhibit E .
3.2 Alternative Work Schedules
"Alternative work schedules" is a Transportation System Management strategy that shifts
the arrival and departure times of employees out of the peak commute hours, allowing
drivers to avoid peak hour traffic. However, this is a strategy that merely shifts traffic away
from the peak rather than eliminating traffic demand. This allows people to continue
driving instead of using public transit when it is the most effective and attractive,
particularly for express commuter services. Allowing alternative schedules also reduces the
potential for carpooling .
Several types of alternative schedules exist, including a shifted early or late 8-hour schedule
in a regular five-day week, or a compressed workweek, which can encompass the
following:
• "9/80 schedule": a schedule of 9 working days of 80 working hours in two weeks,
where an employee works 9-hour days for 8 days and an 8-hour day which allows
alternate Fridays (or any other chosen weekday) off for the employee .

SECTION IV: Infrastructure TDM Selections
The developer will work with the TA to determine infrastructure strategies applicable to the site and
the appropriate placement of TDM infrastructure .
Please reference Table 2-4 Menu of TDM Strategies, Part I: Infrastructure found in the Non-
Residential Developer TDM Plan Guidelines within the TDM handbook for infrastructure strategies
and points. An average new development is required to achieve a total of 18 points while a
redevelopment/tenant improvement is required to achieve 9 points. Required strategies add 4 points
towards the total required number of points. New developments must achieve a minimum of 6
points through infrastructure strategies unless otherwise agreed upon with city staff. Tenant
improvement projects are eligible to achieve all required points in Part II.
In case of a tenant improvement, if the tenant has access to any infrastructure amenity below, the
tenant can claim that amenity in their plan unless that amenity does not meet minimum standards
or is, on average, fully utilized, such as two carpool spaces that are both occupied on most
weekdays. The capacity of an existing infrastructure amenity will need to be evaluated at the time
the strategy is proposed.
Points not earned through infrastructure strategies will be expected to be earned in Part II.
Reference Part II strategies to ensure that the appropriate infrastructure is selected to support
desired amenities or programs .
Infrastructure strategies must be selected and approved prior to building permit issuance.
Programmatic strategies in Part II may be submitted after the building permit has been issued, but
must be approved prior to occupancy.
Check the box to the left of the strategy to include it in the plan. Provide information as requested in
the box below the strategy and indicate the points requested for the strategy, using the handbook as
a guide. For strategies with a range of points, work with the TA who will assist in determining the
appropriate number of points based on the unique context of the site and the proposed project. Refer
to the Carlsbad TDM Handbook for details about each strategy.
