That study, to be used for a City General Plan Amendment, is complete and this report will document its findings. The Project The project, as, proposed, would have about 530 condominium » and apartment units plus about 20,000 square feet of commercial uses on a 20-acre parcel located along the west side of El Camino Real, north of Alga, and opposite the signalized intersection of Dove Lane. All-way access would be provided at the Dove signal. About 1,300 feet north of Dove (one-quarter mile), another right turn in and out only access would be provided (see Figure 1 for location map). The existing General Plan density would allow four to ten residential units per acre. City staff reports that, in the traffic forecast for the General Plan buildout, the parcel would have been assigned seven units per acre (140 units overall). At the present time, ho definitive plan exists for Dove Lane -1- Ji to be extended westward to any other street even though, in the current project plan, it is being carried to the west edge of the project and could be extended westerly in the future if desired by the City of Carlsbad. Existing Traffic and Conditions At the present time, near the project, El Camino Real has permanent curbs and sidewalks on the east side. On the west, how- ever, only an asphalt berm exists with no sidewalk. As mentioned above, the existing "T" intersection of El Camino Real and Dove is signalized. El Camino Real is traffic striped for two through lanes in each direction plus a left-turn lane for southbound-to-eastbound vehicles. The City of Carlsbad reports that, currently,"El Camino Real is carrying 15,300 two-way average daily traffic (ADT) near the project. On June 7, 1984, this consultant conducted a 4:30-to- 5:45-P.M. peak period turning movement count at the signalized intersection of El Camino Real and Dove. With this count, it was found that the P.M. peak hour was from 4:30 to 5:30 and this hour was 9.6% of the 15,300 ADT. Figure 2 shows this P.M. peak-hour count. Using this P.M. peak-hour count, Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) calculations and Level of Service (LOS) deter- minations were made. It was found that, at the present time, with t -3- Federhart & Associates TRAFFIC AND PARKING STUDIES * TRAFFIC TURNING MOVEMENTS COUNTS INTERSECTION Street Name ^^^&**Lt^Tl Street Name =>-—« i A.M.

This shows that existing traffic conditions are excellent at the inter- section (see Figure 3 for calculations and Appendix for definitions). Future Traffic and Geometries The City staff reports that the latest traffic forecast, using General Plan land use as input, reveals that El Camino Real, along the project frontage, will carry 50,800 ADT. To carry this pro- jected volume, it is planned that El Camino Real be a six-lane Primary Arterial. This project will complete the improvements of El Camino Real along its frontage so that, with project implementa- tion, El Camino Real will be completed with six lanes plus left-turn pockets as planned. • Project Traffic Generation Using SANDAG and City of San Diego traffic generator data, the project traffic generation was computed. Table 1 shows that generation: Project Units 530 DU 27,000 sq.ft. Totals Table Traffic ADT Rate 8.0 1 Generation ADT 4,240 120/1,000 3,240 7,480 P.M.

CICU ALT. A ICITALT. B Capacity Capacity 84107 Project Traffic Distribution Using SANDAG Series VI Year 2005 forecast (the same forecast used in the latest City of Carlsbad General Plan Buildout forecast), the project traffic directional distribution was estimated. This estimate was based on all project traffic coming out to El Camino Real. If, in fact, some project traffic in the future can go westerly on Dove, then the project impacts as shown in this report will be decreased. The diagram below shows the directional distri- bution along El Camino Real: Project Traffic Assignment Using the project traffic generation of Table 1 and the project traffic distribution just shown, a project traffic assign- ment was made showing the way project drivers are expected to use the two El Camino Real access points. Figure 4 shows the project traffic assignment on both an ADT and P.M. peak-hour basis. Project Traffic Analysis Using the project traffic from Figure 4, a "combined traffic -7- \*ino V X** * Ocxx)= 1970(in) I f -f- 84107 volume" forecast was made using this traffic and the existing traffic of Figure 2. Figure 5 shows the existing and combined traffic at the intersection of El Camino Real and Dove. Figure 3 shows that when the ICU calculations were made once again with the project traffic added to existing with no geometric change/ the ICU changed from .32 to .48, but with the project widening of El Camino Real, the ICU would change from .32 to .41, still at LOS "A" in all cases (Figure 3 middle calculations). Finally, the project traffic impact was analyzed using the forecasted General Plan buildout traffic on El Camino Real and adding all of the project traffic to it, even though 15% of the project traffic is already in the forecast. The forecasted 50,800 two-way ADT was changed to southbound P.M. peak-hour traffic so it could be analyzed in the same manner at El Camino and Dove as was done for the existing and the combined traffic of Figure 3. Thus, 25,400 southbound ADT at 9.6% would equate to 2,438 P.M. vehicles compared to the 832 of today shown on Figure 2. This 2,438 plus the 85 project right turns and 55 project north- bound vehicles were added together and used in ICU calculations once again on Figure 3 (right side), which shows that then the ICU is .75, resulting in LOS "C". Table 2 below shows the results of all the ICU and LOS determinations at El Camino Real and Dove and is thus a summary of the project traffic impacts: -9- Federhart & Associates TRAFFIC AND PARKING STUDIES TRAFFIC TURNING MOVEMENTS COUNTS INTERSECTION TZ0J3**£ Street Name reet Name Street Name p.

Existing plus project traffic, existing striping .48 A 3. Existing plus project traffic, future striping .41 A 4. Future G.P. traffic plus project, future striping .75 C Conclusions and Reconuneridations From all the above, certain conclusions can be drawn. Probably, the most basic is that even with General Plan buildout traffic along El Camino Real, the project traffic can still be accommodated at its principal access point since LOS "C" will still be the condition. Another is that since Dove may be extended westerly, no guarantee is available that the project traffic only is all the traffic to be accommodated. Therefore, for about 200 feet westerly of El Camino Real, Dove should be wide enough for four travel lanes so that two westbound lanes are available to receive dual lefts from El Camino Real if ever needed. It is recommended that, with implementation of the project, El Camino Real be widened and improved to its ultimate Prime Arterial standards adjacent to the project. It is recommended that Dove Lane, in the project, be of a -11- ^184107 40-foot pavement width except for 200 feet west of El Camino Real, where it should transition into at least 52 feet of width so that four lanes (with no parking) can be realized. Finally, it is recommended that, with the project, the traffic signal at Dove and El Camino Real be modified to provide an efficient eight-phase signal whenever needed to accommodate the fourth leg of the intersection.

Broadly interpreted, the Level of Service concept denotes any one of a number ofdiffering combination* of operating conditions which may take place as a roadway is accommodatingvarious traffic volum«*. Level- of Service is a qualitative neasure of the effect of such factorsas travel speed, travel time, interruptions, freedom to maneuver, safety, driving coofoct and convenience. Six Levels of Service, A through f, have been defined in the Highway Capacity Manual of1965, Level of Service A describes a condition of free flow, with low traffic volumes andrelatively high sp«eda, while Level of Service F describes forced traffic flow at low speeds with jammed condition* and queues which cannot clear during the green phases. The Levels of Service (abbreviated frcn the Highway Capacity Manual) are listed here withtheir corresponding Volume/Capacity Ratios and Load Pactor equivalents. Load factor is thatproportion of the signal cycles during the peak hour which are fully loaded; i.e., when all of thevehicles waiting at the beginning of green are not able to clear on that green phase. LEVEL OP SERVTCB CLUME/CAPACTTY RATIO A (free flow) B (rural design) C (urban design) 0 (maximum urban design) B fcapacity) F (forced flow) 0.0 0.0 - 0.1 0.1 - 0.3 0.3 - 0.7 0.7 - 1.0 Not Applicable 0.0 • 0.60 0.61 - 0.70 0.71 - 0.80 0.81 - 0.90 0.91 - 1.00 1.01 SBKVZCS LEVEL AThere are no loaded cycles and few are even close to loaded at this service level. Ho•approach phase is fully utilized by traffic and no vehicle waits longer than one red indication. SERVICE LEVEL BThis level represents stable operation where an occasional approach phase is fully utilizedand a substantial number are approaching full use. Kany drivers begin to feel restricted withinplatoons of vehicles. SERVICE LEVEL CAt this level stable operation continues. Loading is still intermittent but more frequentthan at Level B. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red signal indicationand backups may develop behind turning vehicles. Host drivers feel somewhat restricted, but notObjectionably so. SERVICE LZ7EL D This level encompasses a zone of increasing restriction approaching instability at th<intersection. Delays to approaching vehicles nay be substantial during short peaks within the peathour, but enough cycles with lower demand occur to permit periodic clearance of queues, thuipreventing exceaaiv* backups. Drivers frequently have to wait through more than one red signal,This level is th* low«r limit of acceptable operation to most drivers. SERVICE LEVEL EThis represents near capacity and capacity operation. At capacity (V/C - 1.0) irepresents the moat vehicles that the particular intersection can accommodate. However, fulutilization of every signal cycle is seldom attained no matter how great the demand. At this leveall drivers wait through more than one red signal, and frequently through several. SERVICE LEVEL T Jammed conditions. Traffic backed up from a downstream location on one of the street restricts or prevents movement of traffic through the intersection under consideration. ; PJL«—^ DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS CONSORTIUM OctoBer 4, 1934 Lee Rautenkranz City Clerk, City of CarlsBad 1200 Elm Avenue CarlsSad, CA 52Q08 RE: ZC^312/PCD-66 - Appeal of Planning Commission Decision An appeal was recently filed on behalf of Lincoln Properties for the above referenced project.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 2356 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-292 and Resolution No. 2357 APPROVING PCD-66 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from P-C, Planned Community to RD-M, residential Density Multiple and a Planning Commission Determination for a 244 unit apartment project on a 21.56 acre site located as described above. The applicant is requesting the zone change from P-C to RD-M to develop an apartment project on this site. The existing P-C zone has no provisions for the development of apartment projects. The subject property is a substandard (less than 100 acres) P-C parcel. The city's zoning ordinance requires that substandard P- C parcels not included in a master plan must be developed per the City's Planned Development Ordinance which establishes development standards. This designation is normally for ownership type units. As mentioned previously, the applicant wishes to develop this site as an apartment project and the Planned Development Ordinance would not be applicable. By changing the zoning to RD-M this problem will be eliminated. The applicant is also requesting approval of a Planning Commission Determination for a 244 unit apartment project with a density of 12.16 du/ac. This exceeds the General Plan designation of 4-10 du/ac for this site. The applicant is applying for this density under Section 65915 of the State of California Government Code. This section allows up to a 25 percent density bonus for projects which provide at least 25 percent of the units for persons or families of low and moderate income as defined by Section 50093 of the State Health and Safety Code, see Exhibit "Y". The proposed project is located in a low lying level area between two existing projects, Pacesetter's Carlsbad Crest and Standard Pacific's, Vista Pacifica. The portion of these projects adjacent to this project have a density of approximately nine du/ac. The proposed project will consist of twelve and sixteen unit buildings with flat over flat units. The buildings will have a Mediterranean style of architecture. The dwelling units will consist of one and two bedroom units ranging in size from 668 to 904 square feet. None of the buildings will exceed 35 feet in height. III. ANALYSIS Planning Issues Zone Change 1 ) Is the proposed RD-M zone consistent with the RM General Plan designation? 2) Is the proposed RD-M zone and the uses allowed within this zone consistent with surrounding zoning and land uses? Planning Commission Determination 1) Does the project comply with the development standards of the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance? 2) Does the design of the project justify the density requested? Discussion The RD-M, Residential Multiple Zone is consistent with the RM Residential Medium, 4-10 du/ac, General Plan designation and is an implementing zone for this designation. As mentioned in the discussion, this zone change is being requested to allow this site to be developed with an apartment project. Staff had some initial concern about the development of an apartment project with slightly higher density between two existing ownership projects. However, the proposed project will be located in a low-lying area between these two projects. This project will be setback at least 25 feet from the easterly property line. This area will be heavily landscaped with evergreen trees and shrubs to screen this project from the adjacent units. A public street and wide open space area will separate this project from the existing units to the west. Staff believes that the topographical difference along with the heavy landscaping will allow this project to be compatible with the existing development on the adjacent properties. -2- Planning Commission Determination As proposed, this project conforms with the development standards of the RD-M zone. None of the proposed buildings will exceed 35 feet in height, all setbacks are met and all of the required parking is provided on site. Staff believes that the design of the project and the amenities provided, justify the proposed density. As shown on the site plan and landscaping plan, there will be a wide variety of active and passive recreation facilities. Two tennis courts will be located in the southerly portion of the property. Two swimming pools with spas, restrooms, cabanas and decks will be provided. A large clubhouse with indoor recreational facilities will be located adjacent to the southerly pool area. A tot lot will be located away from streets and driveways in the north end of the project. Barbeque areas with tables and benches on enriched paving will be scattered throughout the project. In addition, there will be many level turf areas suitable for passive recreation within this project. Each of the units will have either a private patio or balcony with a storage closet. A covered parking space will be provided for each unit in carports within the parking area. Guest parking spaces will be provided at various locations within the project. Additional guest parking will be available on the public street providing access to this project. Common laundry facilities will be located adjacent to the pool areas. Many of the concepts detailed in the City's Design Guidelines Manual have been incorporated into this plan. Wherever possible, curvilinear streets and parking areas have been designed. Enriched paving will be used to break up the appearance of the private street and parking areas in this project. A meandering trail system through the landscaped areas will connect the units to the recreation areas and parking lots. Everything west of the public street serving this project will remain as open space with tennis courts, a small parking area and a meandering trail system. This open space area will tie into an existing natural open space area in the project directly to the south of this site. This will result in a band of open space from the property's northerly boundary to Batiquitos Lagoon over a mile away. Staff believes that it is appropriate to approve this project toward the high end of the density range and grant a 25 percent density bonus. The applicant has agreed to provide at least 25 percent -3- of the units to persons or families of low or moderate income. This has been made a condition of approval. The proposed project is dominated by open space and even though its at the high end of its range (4-10 du/ac), is one of the lowest density apartment projects submitted to the City. Most apartment projects have densities between 20-30 du/ac. It is also important to note that this is the first viable apartment project that has been proposed in the southwest portion of the City. One of the goals of the City's Housing Element is to provide a variety of housing types in all portions of the City. Another one of the goals is to provide affordable housing in all portions of the City. Staff believes that this project fulfills this goal, provides an attractive living environment and will be compatible with existing development in the area. Therefore, staff recommends approval of ZC-312/PCD-66. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on July 30, 1984.
