Final Report May 3, 2001 1.0 INTRODUCTION U rban Systems Associates, Inc. was retained by the Carlsbad Raceway Partnership to evaluate possible traffic impacts from the development of the Carlsbad Raceway Industrial Park in the City of Carlsbad. Figure 1-1 shows the project location. The project consists of approximately 145 acres of planned industrial uses. In order to evaluate possible project traffic impacts, Existing, Existing Plus Project, Short-Term Future prior to Year 2005, Year 2005, Year 2010 and Build out (Year 2020) conditions were evaluated. Year 2005, Year 2010, and Build out traffic volumes were estimated using the San Diego Area of Governments (SANDAG) Cities/County Transportation Forecast, City of Carlsbad, assumed built-out in Year 2020. For the purposes of evaluation, the report is divided into the following sections: 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Methodology 3.0 Existing Conditions 4.0 The Project Trip Generation 5.0 Existing Plus Projedt Conditions 6.0 Short-Term Future (Prior To Year 2005) Conditions 7.0 Short-Term Future (Year 2005) Conditions 8.0 Year 2010 Conditions 9.0 Buildout (Year 2020) Conditions 10.0 Congestion Management Program 11.0 Conclusion and Recommendations 001198 1-1 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway © Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 2.0 METHODOLOGY Described below are the various regional or local guidelines or basis for studies that were used or referenced in the preparation of this report. 2.1 CMP GUIDELINES The Congestion Management Program (CMP) guidelines were developed to provide a set of procedures for completing enhanced CEQA review for certain projects. The guidelines, prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), stipulate that any development project generating 2,400 or more average daily trips, or 200 or more peak hour trips must be evaluated in accordance with requirements of the Regional CMP. This project would generate 10,320 average daily trips, 1,135 AM and 1,238 PM peak hour trips, so that a CMP analysis has been included. The CMP also requires that a traffic impact analysis address freeway links with one hundred fifty of more peak hour project trips (in either direction) or fifty or more peak hour trips (in either direction) on CMP or Regionally Significant Arterials (RSA) roadways. Segments of 1-5 north and south of Cannon Road and SR-78 east and west of El Camino Real are considered regionally significant arterials and are expected to have less than 150 project peak hour trips, so are not required to be evaluated. The SANTEC ITE Guidelines were used to determine which intersections and street segments should be included in the study area. Intersections at which the peak hour trips from either direction where 50 or more are included in the study area. 001198 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 2.2 CITY OF CARLSBAD GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN GUIDELINES The City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan circulation standards require a level of service "D" or better for Street segments and intersections during peak hours. This evaluation includes this standard of performance. If a project causes an intersection or street segment to degrade to level of service "E" or "F" then the project impact is considered to be significant. 2.3 COMPUTER TRAVEL FORECASTS Computer travel forecasts used for the analysis of Year 2005, Year 2010 and Year 2020 (build out) conditions were prepared by the City of Carlsbad and SANDAG. The SANDAG Cities/County Transportation Forecast, City of Carlsbad Year 2020 alternative 5, 2010 and 2005 transportation forecasts were used for evaluation. 2.4 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE LOS PROCEDURES To determine intersection peak hour Levels of Service (LOS) and any needed mitigation measures, as required by the City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan Guidelines, the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method was used. Also, for Congestion Management Program evaluation purposes, intersection levels of service were also calculated using the latest Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) computer software methodology (the 1997 update to the 1994 HCM). 001198 2-2 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS This section of the report evaluates existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes on study area Street segments (between intersections) and at intersections during AM and PM peak hours. Traffic volumes are based on recent daily roadway traffic counts and peak period manual traffic counts at intersections, conducted in 1999. 3.1 STREET SEGMENTS Figure 3-1 shows existing average daily traffic volumes on street segments within the study area. These volumes were taken from recent traffic counts conducted for the City of Carlsbad 1999 Traffic Monitoring Program. Figure 3-2 shows existing roadway classifications for street segments within and adjacent to the study area. Table 3-1 includes existing street segment levels of service based on the highest peak hour flow per lane and a per lane capacity of 1800 vehicles per hour per lane (VPHPL). As shown, all street segments currently operate acceptably. 001198 3-1 1198-50301-rpr Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 4.0 THE PROJECT TRIP GENERATION The project will consist of approximately 145 acres of planned industrial uses. Figure 4-1 includes the project site plan as proposed. Table 4-1 includes the vehicle trip generation expected from the site. As shown, the project is expected to generate 10,320 average daily trips (ADT) with 1,135 trips occurring in the AM peak hour (split 1,022 inbound and 114 outbound) and 1,238 occurring in the PM peak hour (split 248 inbound and 991 outbound). Also, the total traffic model average daily traffic volume for the combined Carlsbad Raceway and adjacent Palomar Forum projects is 15,547 ADT. The property owners have agreed to a sharing of this ADT volume of 9,879 ADT to Carlsbad Raceway, and 5,168 ADT to Palomar Forum (NOTE: This is not a City requirement). No change in project impacts or mitigation would result from this sharing of ADT. Figure 4-2 shows the project only directional distribution percentages at build out. The directional distribution percentages are based on a select zone plot of the project using the SANDAG Cities/County Transportation Forecast, Year 2020, City of Carlsbad. Figure 4-3 shows project only average daily traffic. Figures 4-4 and 4-5 show AM and PM peak hour project only traffic volumes at intersections impacted by 20% or more of project traffic (for Growth Management Plan evaluation) and at Congestion Management Program intersections (50 or more peak hour trips in one direction). The volumes shown in these figures will be used in the following sections of this report for the identification of possible project only traffic impacts. 001198 4-1 1198-50301-2-rpt --T- NO SCALE SOURCE zrc rin rrov1e4 by: O'Day ConsultantE Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 6.0 SHORT-TERM FUTURE PRIOR TO YEAR 2005 The possible traffic impacts from a combination of the Carlsbad Raceway and the adjacent Palomar Forum projects being developed without the construction of missing segments of Melrose Drive and Faraday Avenue, have been evaluated using the results of the modified SANDAG Cities/County 2005 Traffic Forecast, City of Carlsbad. The SANDAG /Carlsbad Year 2005 Regional Traffic Model assumes the completion of Melrose Drive, Faraday Avenue between El Fuerte Street and Melrose Drive, and Poinsettia Lane between El Camino Real and Melrose Drive. This traffic model also assumes development of not yet approved but pending projects having access to these roadways. The Year 2005 traffic model was modified to approximate a short-term future scenario by deleting segments of Faraday Avenue, Melrose Drive, and Poinsettia Lane to reflect the existing network. The Year 2005 traffic model land use files were modified to delete or reduce land use assumptions in Facilities Management Zone 16 and 17. However, the land use assumptions for the surrounding Cities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and within the remaining areas of Carlsbad were not modified in the Year 2005 traffic model. The resulting modified Year 2005 traffic model therefore should approximate a "project plus existing plus background traffic" scenario that could occur prior to Year 2005. 001198 6-1 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 6.1 STREET SEGMENTS No street segments are projected to fail to meet the City's Growth Management Program circulation performance standard. Table 6-1 shows street segment levels of service for segments of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road that would be most affected by development of both the Palomar Forum and Carlsbad Raceway projects. Figure 6-1 shows a comparison of average daily traffic volumes with the combined projects prior to Year 2005 with those expected in Year 2005. This assumes missing segments of Melrose Drive, Faraday Avenue, and Poinsettia Lane. As shown in this figure, the volumes prior to Year 2005 would be no less or only slightly over Year 2005 volume projections, except along Business Park Drive and Palomar Airport Road adjacent to the Palomar Forum project. However, these volumes would be expected to decrease once the Melrose Drive connection into Vista is completed. 6.2 INTERSECTIONS Figure 6-2 shows intersection peak hour volumes at key locations that would be most affected by the combined projects development prior to Year 2005 with no roadway improvements assumed. 001198 6-2 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 Table 6-2 includes intersection peak hour levels of service at key locations that would be most affected by the combined projects. All locations evaluated are expected to be at acceptable levels of service except at the Business Park Drivel Poinsettia Avenue intersection which is expected to be at level of service "E" in the PM peak with feasible mitigation. However, this level of service would be short lived and would be mitigated by the eventual extension of Melrose Drive across the Carlsbad/Vista City limits (see Year 2005 evaluation with Melrose Drive, Page 7-18, Table 7-2, #21). The Carlsbad Raceway project could possibly be developed with Poinsettia Avenue constructed through the project area as a cul-de-sac street at the easterly end. Approximately 18 acres would have access only to/from Business Park Drive. Non-project through traffic would not be diverted from Palomar Airport Road to Poinsettia Avenue in this circumstance, so that the traffic volumes at the Business Park Drive / Poinsettia Avenue, Palomar Airport Road / Business Park Drive, and Palomar Airport Road / Melrose Drive intersections would be affected. Figure 6-3 shows peak hour volumes for this scenario. As shown in Table 6-3, these affected intersections are projected to operate acceptably under this NISKi*IU Appendix C includes intersection level of service worksheets for this condition. 001198 6-6 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway © Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

For this evaluation, the Year 2005 traffic volumes were derived from the SANDAG Cities/County 2005 Traffic Forecast, City of Carlsbad, refined to account for approved projects. 7.1 STREET SEGMENTS (Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Lane) Year 2005 includes the completion of Melrose Drive between Faraday Avenue and Palomar Airport Road, Poinsettia Lane between Melrose Drive and El Camino Real, and Faraday Avenue between Melrose Drive and El Fuerte Street. Figure 7-1 shows Year 2005 average daily traffic volumes with project traffic included. Table 7-1 shows street segment levels of service predicted for Year 2005. As shown, all segments evaluated comply with the Growth Management Plan level of service standard of LOS "D" or better during peak hours, so no significant project traffic impacts to street segments are expected in the short-term future scenario. 001198 7-1 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway © Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 7.2 INTERSECTIONS (Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Lane) Figure 7-2 shows project only directional distribution percentages for Year 2005. The assumed street configuration includes the completion of Melrose Drive between Faraday Avenue and Palomar Airport Road, and Poinsettia Lane between Melrose Drive and El Camino Real, and Faraday Avenue between Melrose Drive and El Fuerte Street. Figures 7-3 and 7-4 show Year 2005 AM and PM peak hour project only traffic volumes at study area intersections impacted by twenty percent of project traffic, and at CMP study area intersections. Figures 7-5 and 7-6 show AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes with project traffic and Year 2005 background traffic as included in the traffic forecast. Table 7-2 shows intersection peak hour levels of service with and without project traffic. As shown, all intersections evaluated are expected to operate within the Growth Management Plan criteria of LOS "D" or better during peak hours with project traffic added, and with expected improvements, listed below, at intersections so no significant unmitigated project traffic impacts are expected.

Final Report May 3, 2001 8.0 YEAR 2010 CONDITIONS Figure 8-1 shows average daily traffic volumes for Year 2010. Previously, the Carlsbad Raceway Industrial Park project traffic, at Year 2005, was evaluated and assumed to be built out, and background traffic from other projects and regional growth was shown to be accommodated on the mitigated street network assumed for Year 2005. Therefore, the project's participation in ultimate roadway improvements to Melrose Drive and Faraday Avenue to accommodate Year 2020 traffic and payment of City-wide Traffic Impact Fees for funding future transportation improvements should be considered as the project's fair share toward mitigating traffic impacts expected to occur between Year 2005 and 2020. The project only improvements include the participation in the construction of Melrose Drive north of Palomar Airport Road along the project's westerly property line, the construction of Poinsettia Avenue east-west through the project, and a southerly connection to the adjacent Palomar Forum project. 001198 8-1 1198-50301-rpr Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Table 9-1 shows street segment levels of service for Year 2020. As shown, all segments evaluated are expected to meet the Growth Management Plan criteria of level of service "D" or better during peak hours, so no significant unmitigated project traffic impacts are expected in Year 2020. 9.2 INTERSECTIONS Figures 9-2 and 9-3 show the AM and PM peak hour volumes, at study area intersections, expected in Year 2020 and at build out for the City of Carlsbad. Table 9-2 shows intersection levels of service. As shown all evaluated intersections within the City of Carlsbad are expected to operate at level of service "D" or better during peak hours as required by the City's Growth Management Plan, so that no significant unmitigated project traffic impacts are expected. 001198 9-1 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway (O Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

The Carlsbad Raceway Industrial Park's contribution to the construction of nearby roadway and intersections to their ultimate configurations (i.e., Melrose Drive, Faraday Avenue, Palomar Airport Road) should be considered the project's fair share contribution to mitigating roadway improvements meant to accommodate Year 2020 City of Carlsbad and regional cumulative traffic impacts at these nearby intersections and roadways. 001198 9-11 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 9.3 POINSETTIA AVENUE CUL-DE-SAC AND RIGHT-TURN ONLY ALTERNATIVES The intersection at Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue could possibly be restricted to right-turns-only because of the City of Carlsbad's intersection spacing criteria (2,600 ft. spacing for prime arterials). An evaluation of this condition has been provided in the following four paragraphs. Figure 9-5 shows Year 2020 peak hour conditions with full access at the Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue Intersection. Under these conditions, acceptable levels of service are expected at the three intersections shown on Melrose Drive: Melrose Drive/Palomar Airport Road, Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue, and Melrose Drive/Faraday Avenue. Figure 9-6 shows the alternative with right turns only allowed at the Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue intersection. As shown, a raised median through the intersection on Melrose Drive would divert southbound left turns southbound on Melrose Drive to eastbound Poinsettia Avenue to the Melrose Drive/Palomar Airport Road intersection as either u-turns or left turns. The result of diverting these left turns would be to increase the intersection capacity utilization at this intersection and would result in decreasing the future level of service from "D" to "E." Westbound to southbound left turns at the Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue intersection could be diverted to the Melrose Drive/Faraday Avenue intersection. Although this would increase the intersection capacity utilization, the peak hour levels of service are expected to remain at acceptable levels of service. 001198 9-15 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway © Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

Final Report May 3, 2001 Table 9-3 shows the comparative levels of service expected with and without restricted access at the Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue intersection. Additionally, Poinsettia Avenue could possibly be prevented from being constructed as a through street if required to avoid an open space canyon area. This could result in a cul-de-sac street without accommodating through traffic. Figure 9-7 shows this alternative and the expected diversion of traffic. Turns that would be made at the Business Park Drive/Poinsettia Avenue intersection would be diverted to the Business Park Drive/Palomar Airport Road and the Palomar Airport Road/Palomar Forum South access intersection. Table 9-3 also shows the comparative levels of service with and without Poinsettia Avenue as a cul- de-sac street at the eastern end. As shown in this table, acceptable levels of service could be provided at all locations shown, but delay to motorists would increase at certain locations. In summary, restricting the Melrose Drive/Poinsettia Avenue Intersection to right turns only is not recommended because of the detrimental effect of diverted turns at the Melrose Drive/Palomar Airport Road intersection. Poinsettia Avenue, with the cul-de-sac configuration, would cause additional delay to adjacent intersections as a result of diverted traffic, and therefore, is not the preferred alternative.

Final Report May 3, 2001 10.0 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CMP) As required by State of California Law (Proposition 111, June 1990, Congestion Management Program), an analysis of the Regionally Significant Arterials (RSA) in the study area are required. Palomar Airport Road, El Camino Real, and Melrose Drive are listed as RSA through the study area and have been evaluated in previous sections of this report. Both street segments and intersections are expected to operate at LOS "D" or better and therefore comply with CMP regional guidelines for Year 2020. 10.1 FREEWAY SEGMENTS EVALUATION The project traffic contribution to Interstate 5 and State Route 78 main lanes is less than the 150 peak hour trips established in the CMP Guidelines, so that a freeway main lane analysis is not needed for this project. 10.2 INTERSECTIONS Study area intersections were evaluated using the 1997 update to the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual software. As shown in Table 10-1, all intersections comply with CMP requirements using this methodology.

Final Report May 3, 2001 11.3 SHORT-TERM (PRIOR TO YEAR 2005) CONDITIONS An evaluation of short-term future conditions prior to Year 2005 was conducted assuming the combined projects of the Carlsbad Raceway and Palomar Forum projects and assuming no construction of missing segments of Melrose Drive, Faraday Avenue or Poinsettia Lane. Projects not yet approved adjacent to these missing segments were also deleted or reduced for this evaluation. Based on this evaluation it can be concluded that traffic from the two combined projects and background growth can be expected to be accommodated on the existing roadway system with only project frontage and intersection improvements prior to Year 2005 Key intersections that would most be affected by this scenario are expected to operate acceptably at level of service "D" or better, except at the Business Park Drive/ Poinsettia Avenue intersection that is projected to be at level of service "E" during the PM peak hour with feasible mitigation. However, this would be a short lived condition since construction of Melrose Drive would provide mitigation. With the Poinsettia Avenue cul-de-sac alternative street segments and intersections are expected to operate acceptably at level of service "D" or better with only frontage improvements along Palomar Airport Road. 001198 11-2 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 11.4 SHORT-TERM (YEAR 2005) CONDITIONS An evaluation of short-term future (Year 2005) conditions indicates that study area street segments and intersections with improvements shown on Figure 7-9 would operate acceptably and within the Growth Management Plan circulation performance standards, so no project mitigation would be needed nor is recommended for the short term future, beyond the planned participation in construction of Melrose Drive from the City of Vista city limits south to Palomar Airport Road, and Faraday Avenue between Melrose Drive and Orion Street. Mitigation measures at off-site intersections to be provided as adjacent projects build out or by Traffic Impact Fee projects are also shown in Figure 7-9, Year 2005 Intersection Lane Configurations. Off-site locations in Vista and San Marcos that would need mitigation as a result of cumulative increases in regional and local traffic volumes have been identified in previous traffic studies in those jurisdictions. 11.5 BUILDOUT (YEAR 2020) CONDITIONS As planned, study area intersections are expected to accommodate Year 2020 peak hour volumes at acceptable levels of service and within the Growth Management Plan circulation performance standards, with mitigation consisting of ultimate planned lane configurations and normal intersection improvements such as added left or right turn only lanes. The City of Carlsbad General Plan Circulation Element roadways as planned, can accommodate the projected peak hour volumes by the planned cross-sections and intersection lane configurations. Figure 9-4, Year 2020 Intersection Lane Configurations show needed mitigation to be provided by adjacent projects by Bridge and Thoroughfare Districts, or by Traffic Impact Fee Program projects as they are needed. Off-site locations in Vista and San Marcos that would need mitigation as a result of cumulative increases in regional and local traffic volumes have been identified in previous traffic studies in thosejurisdictions so that feasible mitigation has been identified or findings of over riding considerations have been made. 001198 11-3 1198-50301-2-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 The project's contribution to city-wide circulation improvements will be made through the City's Traffic Impact Fee and a separate funding district for Melrose Drive north of Palomar Airport Road and Faraday Avenue west of Melrose Drive. 11.6 YEAR 2020 CONDITIONS WITH CUL-DE-SAC AND RIGHT TURN ONLY ALTERNATIVES An alternative analysis assuming right turns only at the Melrose Drive / Poinsettia Avenue intersection has been provided. Restricting turns to right turns only is expected to divert traffic as u-turns to the adjacent intersections on Melrose Drive. These diverted turns could be detrimental to the peak hour levels of service at these locations, and therefore is not recommended. An alternative analysis assuming Poinsettia Avenue as a cul-de-sac street has been provided. Poinsettia Avenue, with the cul-de-sac configuration, would cause additional delay to adjacent intersections as a result of diverted traffic, and therefore is not the preferred alternative. 11.7 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Interstate 5, SR-78, Palomar Airport Road, El Camino Real and Melrose Drive are portions of the Regionally Significant Arterial or Freeway Systems. A Congestion Management Program evaluation was conducted for the study area arterial street segments and intersections. Intersections and street segments in the study area expected to comply with CMIIP level of service requirements of level of service "D" or better. The projects addition of traffic to the freeway systems is expected to be less than 150 peak hour trips so that a freeway main lane evaluation is not required, according to Regional CMP Guidelines. 001198 11-4 1198-50301-2-a-rpt Carlsbad Raceway © Urban Systems Associates, Inc. Final Report May 3, 2001 11.8 SUMMARY In summary, an evaluation of existing, short-term future, and long-term future conditions indicates that with intersection mitigation planned by adjacent project or Traffic Impact Fee study projects, or Bridge and Thoroughfare District projects, study area intersections and road segments would operate acceptable at level of service "D" or better during peak hours. 001198 11-5 1198-50301-rpt Carlsbad Raceway ©Urban Systems Associates, Inc.
