As requested, USAI has completed a parking demand study for the Millipore Sigma site at 2827 Whiptail Loop in Carlsbad, CA. This parking study was completed to establish appropriate parking rates for the future scientific research, manufacturing and warehouse uses proposed on the site. The Millipore Sigma project would combine uses into one operation leading to characteristics different from stand-alone uses. Due to the unique nature of this type of use and the presence of an existing facility in Carlsbad available to count at 6211 El Camino Real, the purpose of this study is to examine the parking characteristics of the Millipore Sigma operations in order to establish an appropriate parking ratio for the future facility. This study is based on site visits to the existing facility on El Camino Real in Carlsbad as well as surveys of employees as further discussed below. It should be noted that the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code does not reflect the specific combined scientific research and manufacturing type of use but generally contains requirements for an office use or a manufacturing use. However, it has long been recognized that research and development uses generally generate fewer vehicle trips and have a lower parking demand than standard office uses. For example, the City of San Diego Municipal Code recognizes this fact and has a required parking ratio for research and development uses outside of a transit area of 1 space per 400 square feet (SDMC Table 142.050). In addition, the City of San Diego allows a parking ratio of 1 space per 1,000 SF for capital intensive manufacturing for "Light Manufacturing" and "Heavy Manufacturing" uses per Table 142-050-Parking Ratios for Specified Non-Residential Uses. In particular, Footnote 6 states: "Facilities with a majority of floor area dedicated to large equipment, tanks, vessels, and automated machinery, or any similar combination of equipment may provide parking using a minimum ratio of parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor area instead of the parking ratio shown in Table 142-0SG". The reason for this generally lower parking demand is that more internal space is typically utilized for storage, lab and other spaces which lowers the population of employees on-site. This example illustrates the uniqueness of this type of combination of uses as well as the generally low parking generation. In order to satisfy City of Carlsbad requirements, the existini Millipore Sigma site at 6211 El Camino Real was examined as a proper study site for the future facility at 2827 Whiptail Loop due to the anticipated similarity in operations and the identical user (i.e. Millipore Sigma occupying both facilities). Based on this evaluation it is anticipated that using standard City of Carlsbad parking ratios for office at a rate of 1 space per 250 square feet, 1 8451 Miralani Dr., Suite A• San Diego, CA 92126 • (858) 560-491 l L '· Oliver Castilleja Millipore Sigma © Urban Systems Associates, Inc. September 17, 2018 manufacturing use of 1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area (plus 1 space for each vehicle used in conjunction with the use) or warehouse use of I space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area would lead to excessively high parking supply calculations. Based on these unique site characteristics, a modification of parking standards may be appropriate. Per Section 21.44.040 B of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, "The city planner may modify the required parking standards where it can be demonstrated that adequate parking will be provided and the modification will not adversely affect the neighborhood or the site design and circulation." Additionally, the Code section requires, "The modification shall be based on the results of a parking study prepared by a registered traffic engineer or other qualified parking consultant, or other evidence satisfactory to the city planner. The following study has been prepared to satisfy this requirement with respect to the Millipore Sigma site. Methodology: When evaluating the parking demands of any unique use, actual demand observations and surveys are the preferred method of gathering data. The first step is either to count the existing site or to locate a site with similar characteristics and which can be counted separate from other adjoining uses. Unfortunately, the site at 6211 El Camino Real shares a parking lot with other users including Vitec Electronics Corporation. Although observations of the parking lot were conducted to validate survey data, the primary data collection was via employee surveys. The survey form is shown in Attachment 1. The survey response included five questions with responses from OV(?r half of the employees at the El Camino Real site. Therefore, the surveys returned a statistically significant sample. This survey was used to estimate the parking demand for the future Millipore Sigma site which will have nearly identical operations. Millipore Sigma Parking Demand: Based on the methodology presented above, the existing Millipore Sigma site at 6211 El Camino Real was evaluated for existing parking demand. The site was evaluated over one week with no1mal conditions. Over half of the employee population (67 of 145 employees) responded to the parking survey. The survey was conducted the week of 9/15/18. Response sheets are included in Attachment 2. Almost all employees had overlapping daytime hours with at least one response indicating occasional weekend work. Normal hours of operation were generally from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Major findings include the following: • 94% of employees drove alone • 4.5% of employees carpooled • 1.5% of employees walked to work • 97% of employees responded that no difficulty finding parking at the existing facility • 48% of employees reported that they would explore the use of alternative transportation (i.e. transit) if available • 41.5% of employees reported that they did not leave the site during the day for any purpose including lunch. • 58.5% of employees reported leaving office for a single purpose generally around noon (i.e. lunch). Field observations at the site generally corroborated these findings with relatively lower parking demand at lunch time and generally available parking at all times at the El Camino Real facility. Based on these observations and the survey data, it is estimated that the peak parking demand is .9625 spaces per employee based on the survey. 2 8451 Mira/ant Dr., Suite A • San Diego, CA 92126 • (858) 560-4911 Oliver Castilleja Millipore Sigma © Urban Systems Associates, Inc. September 17, 2018 This is calculated by taking the number of drive alone respondents and adding half of the number of carpool respondents (assuming they each rode to work with another employee) and dividing by the total number of employees. An additional 0.1375 spaces per employee is recommended for guest parking and to ensure excess parking at all times of day. Therefore, the recommended parking ratio of 1.1 spaces per employee is recommended for use at 2827 Whiptail Loop in Carlsbad. Based on the response from employees that there is a large appetite for use of alternative transportation, it is recommended that any new site consider all modes of transportation including connections to transit. This would serve to further limit parking demand and may significantly lower demand. Trip Generation Rate: The parking survey information discussed above is likewise useful in determining trip generation characteristics of the project site. The parking ratio can be adjusted to estimate total trip generation by assuming that each employee driving to work would cause three trips. This is calculated by assuming each employee causes one trip each when entering and exiting the project site. Additionally, almost 50% of employees responded that they leave the site for lunch or errands during the day. This would add one more trip in and out for only 50% of the employees (two trips divided by half equals one trip per employee). The total trip generation rate would therefore be three trips per employee plus minor additional trip generation for visitors. (lie. GDIVISIONAPPROVAL 0ate: lc/z/18 .
