Subject: Updated Proposal to Provide Professional Traffic Engineering and
Parking Consulting Services Associated with the San Juan Hotel &
Villas - Architectural Control (AC)13-23, Urban Village
San Juan Capistrano, California
Dear Mr. Oswald:
As requested, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
proposal to provide professional traffic engineering and parking consulting services
associated with the preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the proposed
San Juan Hotel & Villas project in the City of San Juan Capistrano. The scope of work
is based on our review of the City's Scope of Work provided on September 5, 2013, our
familiarity with the City's requirements and our prior discussions.
The San Juan Hotel & Villas project site is generally located at the southeast corner of
the Camino Capistrano and Forster Street intersection. As currently envisioned, the
proposed Project is planned to consist of the development of a hotel and spa,
commercial tenant space, and a branded townhouse -style villas in place of three (3)
commercial office buildings.
The "branded" hotel will consists of 136 guest rooms in 69,282 SF, with ancillary
uses including a lounge area, meeting/banquet room space (2,942 square feet). The
spa and retail space totals approximately 2,664 SF, while the restaurant totals 6,301
SF, including 2,814 SF on the ground floor, 721 SF of outdoor dining and 2,766 SF
roof deck dining/bar. The residential component includes 33 townhouse -style villas
with garages. Parking for the site will be provided through garages (villas), on-site
surface parking and a subterranean parking garage which together will total 217
spaces. Guest parking for the villas will be provided by both on-site surface and
subterranean parking. Vehicular site access will be provided via a single driveway
off of Forster Street and a future connection to Del Obispo Street.

This Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the proposed San Juan Hotel & Villas project
will be prepared pursuant to the City of San Juan Capistrano Administrative Policy 310,
Preparation and Use of Traffic Reports. For the purposes of this proposal, the traffic
study will focus on the' project's traffic impacts at the fourteen (14) intersections,
eighteen (18) roadway segments and Synchro Operational Analysis for one (1) roadway
segments consisting of four (4) intersections for the study area that has been identified
in the City's scope of work. As we discussed, the Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the
Rancho San Juan Apartments, dated February 22, 2013, will serve as a database and
reference for the "cumulative" and General Plan Buildout assessment of the proposed
Project.
The San Juan Hotel & Villas project traffic study will satisfy the requirements of the
City of San Juan Capistrano, and will be consistent with the current Orange County
Congestion Management Program (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TLA)
Guidelines. The proposed Scope of Work for the parking study will be based on the
City of San Juan Capistrano requirements. The scope includes the preparation of the
parking study with an evaluation of the City Code parking requirements; conducting
weekday and weekend parking accumulation surveys at similar hotel uses in the
surrounding area, as identified in coordination with the City; the shared parking
methodology; and a forecast of parking demand assuming full occupancy of the
proposed hotel use so as to determine the adequacy of the parking supply to serve the
project site. An assessment of the residential guest parking requirements will also be
performed.
Given the above, and our overall sense and understanding of the issues, we propose to
do the following:
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Mobilization
1.1 Meet with the project team to discuss the proposed Project and confirm land use
development tabulation to be evaluated in the traffic study. Discuss assumptions
to be used to include completion year and anticipated phasing. Descriptive data
such as the type of use, number of rooms, ancillary uses and anticipated hours
of operation, meeting/conference space and special events center floor area,
parking supply, reciprocal parking agreements, if any, and any special
considerations pertinent to the preparation of the parking analysis would be
needed.

1.2 Obtain a site plan (preferably in electronic format) displaying the proposed use
and associated parking facilities.
1.3 Summarize the hotel building tabulation for the various components (e.g.,
number of rooms, retail square footage, restaurant square footage, meeting
room and/or banquet space, etc.).
1.4 Meet with the City of San Juan Capistrano Traffic Engineering staff to discuss
the project, identify pertinent traffic issues and concerns to be addressed,
formalize work program for the traffic impact study, and finalize the traffic
impact scenarios and list of study intersections to be analyzed. Review the land
use assumptions for the project site to determine the trip generation potential
assumption in the Historic Town Center Master Plan Traffic Impact Study for a
long-term (buildout) traffic evaluation. In addition, the project's trip
generation forecast and distribution patterns will be reviewed and confirmed.
Task 2: Data Collection and Research
2.1 Compile and review prior area traffic data and forecasts to include existing peak
hour and daily, traffic count data at the study intersections and roadway
segments. The Traffic Impact Analysis Report for the Rancho San Juan
Apartments, dated February 22, 2013, will serve as a database and reference.
2.2 Visit the City of San Juan Capistrano to obtain existing street improvement
plans/striping plans for key area roadways and intersections. Compile
information with regards to planned street improvements within the Project
study area, if any (especially at the Ortega Highway/I-5 Freeway Interchanges),
that may be conditions of approval of approved projects in the City.
2.3 Work with the City of San Juan Capistrano Planning Department and reconfirm
list of related projects that will need to be considered in the traffic study that
may contribute to the cumulative impacts on the street system in the vicinity of
the project. Obtain copies of approved traffic studies for related projects.
2.4 Visit the Project study area to confirm existing conditions with respect to
existing site development, local area development, site access, parking use, and
areas of congestion in order to verify our overall understanding of traffic
conditions in the area that might affect this project.

Project's Environmental Impact Report. The traffic report and parking study
will be suitably documented with all tabular, graphic and appendix materials.
Task 11: Meeting Support
11.1 Prepare for and attend up to three (3) City Staff coordination meetings. For
budgeting purposes, we have allotted two (2) hours of the Project Manager's
time. A budget of $475.00 is requested per meeting.
11.3 Prepare for and attend a total of three (3) public meetings/hearings with the City
of San Juan Capistrano Planning Commission (2) and City Council (1). This
component includes preparation of specific presentation materials on traffic
issues. For budgeting purposes, the average length of each public
hearing/meeting is assumed to be five (5) hours and will be attended by the
Principal Engineer. A budget of $1,150.00 is requested for attendance at each
public hearing.
Task 12: Parking Analysis, Parking Accumulation Surveys and Memorandum
12.1 Determine the parking requirements for the various components of the Project
based on the City of San Juan Capistrano Municipal Code. Determine the
surplus or deficiency in the on-site parking supply as compared to the Code
parking requirements.
12.2 Using parking demand studies prepared by LLG for other similar hotels, along
with rates outlined in national standards (ITE Parking Generation Manual),
tabulate the existing hourly parking profile for the hotel room component only
and summarize the results.
We understand that City staff has indicated that LLG will be required to
provide our hotel parking demand studies to the department for review and
acceptance prior to the incorporation of the derived peak parking ratio into the
parking analysis. If the studies are found to be acceptable, the derived peak
parking ratio for only the hotel room component will be applied to the total
number of hotel rooms (assuming 100 percent occupancy) and ULI and
surveyed hourly parking accumulation profiles will be reviewed in order to
forecast the hourly variations.
12.3 Research, review and consider parking generation factors listed in the 4th
Edition of Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) [Washington D.C.; 2010] and/or the 2nd Edition of Shared
SY, ( rh;w
Mr. Alan Oswald
September 18, 2013
Page 11
Parking, published by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) in 2005. These peak
parking ratios can be presented for informational purposes.
12.4 Prepare a shared parking demand forecast employing the ULI shared parking
methodology in order to account for potential parking demand associated the
other hotel components (i.e., if they are available for use and booking by the
general public and not limited only to registered guests of the hotel) as well as
the villas residential guest parking demand.
Develop a parking demand forecast on an hourly basis for all other components
of the hotel project (e.g., the restaurant, retail, and meetingibanquet room
spaces). Combine the peak parking demand forecast for all of the hotel
components to the proposed parking supply and identify any surplus or
deficiency. The appropriate parking adjustments will be applied to account for
alternative modes of transportation (i.e. transit, rail, bike, pedestrian traffic)
and for internal capture/mixed-use development, if applicable.
12.5 If directed by City Staff, identify other available parking within the vicinity, in
order to address any identified parking deficiency.
12.6 To supplement the prior parking demand studies prepared by LLG (see Task
12.2), coordinate with the project applicant/City staff to identify two existing
hotel developments in the area that are similar in nature as the proposed project.
It is assumed that related information such as the number of rooms and
occupancy/vacancy information, and meeting/special events scheduled at these
hotels on the days of the parking accumulation surveys will be provided by the
project applicant/City staff.
12.7 Visit the survey sites to confirm the site access and parking areas, in order to
verify our understanding of the parking conditions for each site. Conduct an
inventory of the existing parking including the number of on-site parking spaces
by type (i.e., standard, compact, handicap, time -restricted, visitors, etc.) for the
two existing hotel developments.
12.8 Conduct two days of on-site parking accumulation surveys at the two existing
hotel developments identified in Task 12.6. It is recommended that the
parking accumulation surveys be conducted during one typical weekday and
one typical weekend day (e.g., Friday and Saturday) in a typical peak season.
The surveys will be conducted in one-hour time intervals for the on-site
parking areas for the two survey sites, tentatively between 6:00 AM and 12:00
AM midnight; the survey period will be adjusted to '/z hour intervals if the

parking occupancy exceeds 90% during the prior survey round / last hourly
count. The specific count days and survey time periods will be verified with
the project applicant team and City staff prior to commencement of the
analysis. It should be noted that the parking accumulation counts and
observations will need to be conducted during typical, non -holiday peak time
periods.
This work program assumes up to a total of two (2) traffic count subconsultant
personnel will be required for this task. Should City staff require surveys at
additional locations or during additional survey days/hours (i.e., more than 18
hours on each day or more than two survey days) or should additional count
personnel (i.e., more than two survey personnel) be needed, an amendment to
our contract will be necessary.
12.9 Tabulate the existing parking survey data and summarize it accordingly.
Compare results with prior parking demand studies prepared by LLG.
Determine the existing peak parking demand at the surveyed sites during the
study hours and derive a peak parking ratio and demand profile for use in the
shared parking analysis for the proposed hotel (see Task 12.4).
12.10 Prepare a draft parking assessment in memorandum format which details all of
the above mentioned items including our analysis, findings and conclusions.
The draft memorandum will be suitably documented with tabular, graphic and
appendix material. The draft memorandum will be submitted to the City for
review and comment.
12.11 If necessary, update the draft parking assessment based on City staff
comments (i.e., one round of minor revisions assumed). Prepare a final
memorandum incorporating City staff comments and transmit the final
parking study for inclusion into the Project's environmental document.
COST ESTIMATE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT
We estimate that our fee for the services outlined above in Tasks 1 through 12 will not
exceed $43,325.00. Our fees will be billed monthly on a time -and -materials basis
according to the attached Fee Schedule.
We estimate our fee for the preparation of San Juan Hotel & Villas Traffic Impact
Analysis Report (Tasks 1 through 10, excluding Tasks 3) will not exceed $24,750.00.
For Tasks 3.1 and 3.2, we request an allocation of $3,200.00 to conduct three (3) days
Mr. Alan Oswald

Page 13
of peak period traffic counts at four (4) intersections and three (4) days of 24-hour
machine counts at eight (8) roadway segments per the City of San Juan Capistrano
requirements.
For meeting support outlined in Task 11, we request a budget of $4,875.00. For Task
12, Parking Analysis, we request a budget of $10,500.00.
TIME SCHEDULE
We estimate that the Screencheck Draft Traffic Report can be completed four to five
weeks after we receive written the notice to proceed and completion of additional traffic
count program identified in Task 3.
We estimate that our draft parking study memorandum will be available
approximately four weeks after completion of the parking surveys and receipt of the
survey data. Hence, it is imperative that potential survey sites be identified within the
first week of authorization. As previously noted, the parking accumulation counts will
need to be conducted during typical, non -holiday peak time periods.
This time estimate assumes issues of direct impact (i.e. project description and
development program) are well enough defined to allow our analysis to proceed
effectively. To the extent possible, we will make every effort to complete our work in
coordination with the City's and project applicant's schedule.
Please note that project schedule assumes both the traffic and parking analysis will be
prepared concurrently.
ADDITIONAL WORK
We will also be pleased to provide any additional support beyond the scope of services
outlined above as you may require. Such additional tasks may include, but are not
limited to the following: conducting additional manual turning movement counts,
evaluating potential Project related traffic impacts at other key intersections, preparation
of conceptual mitigation improvement plans, preparation of response to comments
received from the general public on traffic/circulation section of the Project's EIR, and
attendance at additional meetings with team members, City staff and/or public hearings.
Mr. Alan Oswald
September 18, 2013

Such tasks will be considered extra work and will be billed on a time and materials
basis using the attached fee schedule or the fee schedule in effect at the time those
services are requested. For the additional services, a separate contract amendment will
be prepared.
As requested in the City's Scope of Work, up to four (4) additional intersections and
four (4) additional roadway segments, to be determined by the City subsequent to the
completion of the trip generation, trip distribution and/or project impact evaluation
sections of the traffic report maybe be included in the analysis and will require a
separate contract amendment.
