COMMITTEE CHARTER -MISSION The mission of the Growth Management Plan Update Advisory Committee is to promote balanced consideration of a range of perspectives on issues affecting the future growth and quality of life in Carlsbad and to identify the key elements of a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life while also complying with state law. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN -UPDATE •The previous plan included standards, funding strategies to meet them and a unit cap/moratorium if the standards are not met •Most other cities in the country that have growth management only focus on a unit cap or physical growth boundary as discussed in the April 28, 2022 meeting •A unit cap, moratorium or growth boundary are not allowed under California law 11 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS •City Administrative Facilities •Libraries •Parks •Drainage •Circulation •Fire Response •Open Space •Sewer Collection System •Schools •Water Distribution System •Wastewater Treatment GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN -UPDATE •Therefore, we are looking to “identify the key elements of a new plan to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that maintains an excellent quality of life” •Items related to quality of life that are not part of “key elements to manage growth” are going to be sent in the separate “Quality of Life” Report to the City Council HOW IS THE PLAN IMPLEMENTED? •Private Development Requirements •Local Facility Management Zones •Payments to Community Facility District #1 •Annual Reports to City Council •Payment of other development fees, such as: •Park In-Lieu Fees •Drainage Fees •Traffic Impact Fees KEY CITY DOCUMENTS: GROWTH Voters Examples of Key City Documents that Guide and Manage Growth (Adopted by City Council) Growth Management Plan General Plan Local Coastal Program Other Municipal Code Development Standards Public Master Plans Proposition E: Public Facility Standards Housing Caps Policies for many topics including: land use, mobility, recreation, safety, housing Guides development in the Coastal Zone consistent with the Coastal Act Subdivision Ordinance, Building Code Parks and Trails Mobility Utilities Growth Management Ordinance Citywide Facility Financing Plan Zone Facility Financing Plans Municipal Zoning Code (Title 21) COMMITTEE CHARTER The committee is expected to focus on input, review, and "buy-in" to carry out the committee's mission, rather than deliberating on precise details. The committee's work will conclude with a committee-supported report recommending to the City Council what should be included (key elements) in a new plan to manage growth and achieve an excellent quality of life while ensuring compliance with state law. The City Council will consider the committee's recommendations and direct the next steps to create a new growth management plan.

Maintain LOS D or better for all prioritized modes of travel, as identified in the General Plan Mobility Element, excluding LOS exempt intersections and streets approved by the City Council. CURRENT STANDARD Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR 1.Level of Service, focused on cars –Volume, speed, road capacity 2.Multimodal Level of Service, focused on pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users –Complete sidewalks, bike lanes, transit stop amenities, etc. 3.Developers pay to build out roads 4.When level of service dips, city may pass building moratorium until streets are improved CURRENT STANDARD Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR 1.City now focused on moving people, not just cars –General Plan policy –State law –Climate Action Plan requirement to reduce GHGs 2.Many roads cannot be expanded further 3.State no longer allows cities to pass building moratoriums WHAT’S CHANGED Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT STANDARD •Vehicle Level of Service only measured for roadway segments (not intersections) •Overly conservative and unable to model irregular roadway geometries, roundabouts and closely spaced intersections •Solutions limited to expanding traffic lanes or strategies like carpooling •Multimodal Level of Service is based on streetscape amenities (bike lanes, pedestrian crossing, street lighting, etc.) which are addressed through development transportation analysis STAFF RECOMMENDATION Change the standard to: •Measure all the ways people get around (Person Miles Traveled)–biking, walking, driving, transit •Use the Multimodal Transportation Impact Fee to fund future mobility projects and accommodate future growth BENEFITS •Legally collects fees to help fund other mobility improvements for all the ways people travel around Carlsbad –not just by car •Allows the city to better prioritize existing projects with new development •Focuses on implementing projects that will improve citywide connectivity vs. isolated projects •Ensures new growth pays their fair-share to implement the city’s transportation infrastructure •Ensures new growth implements the transportation infrastructure needed to safely access their site like bike lanes, transit stops and sidewalks BENEFITS (CONT.) BENEFITS OF EACH OPTION Current Standard Proposed Standard •Consistent with the city’s General Plan goals and policies •Ensures new infrastructure is built to a high quality •May be a more affordable option for new development •Allows the transportation network to be developed as a system •Ensures new development pays their fair-share •Measures the full impact of new development on the transportation network •Prioritizes improvements with the highest benefit CONSTRAINTS OF EACH OPTION Current Standard •May result in only spot treatments creating a disjointed transportation network •Only gets implemented in areas around new development •Hard to quantify the direct impact of new development •Harder to impose off-site transportation improvements on new development •Improvements may take longer to implement •May create a higher cost for new development Proposed Standard Performance Measurement Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION EVALUATION PROCESS Project Proposed Evaluate impacts to mobility network Direct improvements Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee Construction Improved mobility + connectivity for all transit modes SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PLAN •Multimodal focus: Walking, biking and transit •Will guide the development of the city’s transportation network for the next 10+ years •Prioritizes improvements so transportation network will be implemented as a system instead of spot treatments TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS 1.Evaluation method for the city to determine that pedestrian and bicycle connections are provided 2.Measure how people get around and determine key connections 3.Determine if adequate facilities exist (Baseline Multimodal Level of Service) 4.Determine what is needed if deficient (Multimodal Level of Service mitigations) LOCAL MOBILITY ANALYSIS •Evaluates private developments for direct project impacts •Measures all the ways people get around: driving, biking, walking, transit •Update Traffic Impact Analysis guidelines currently in process which will reflect feedback from this committee and Traffic & Mobility Commission NEW -MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE •Fee will ensure new development pays their fair share to construct the Sustainable Mobility Plan projects •Conceptual plans, cost estimates and funding strategy Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR Trips Generated by New Development NEW POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES •Multimodal Transportation Impact Fees •Infrastructure built by developers (via Local Mobility Assessment) •Grant funding •City funding sources Carlsbad ~-: TOMOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION Change the standard to: •Measure all the ways people get around – biking, walking, driving, transit •Use the Multimodal Transportation Impact Fee to fund future mobility projects and accommodate future growth DRAFT LANGUAGE Circulation –Implement a comprehensive livable streets network that serves all users of the system – vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and public transit. Utilize the Sustainable Mobility Plan and Multimodal Transportation Impact fee program to implement future multimodal transportation projects that provide the greatest benefit to the community.
