Narrative:
We were given the senic one departure off of lgb runway 30. Both pilots looked it over and agreed after takeoff climb on a heading of 301 to 1500 ft then turn left. Both pilots failed to read ATC climb; we thought the 1500 ft was for obstacle clearance. Most of the departure charts have a point or a DME fix or a radial to cross at or above. After takeoff we changed over to departure at about 1300 ft controller told us to start our left turn to 180 and told us we had traffic at 01:00; the TCAS showed he was over 5 NM from us; then controller told us this departure was for jet aircraft and we need to be at 1500 ft 3 NM from the airport. I guess the point I am trying to make is if they want us to be at a fix like 3 NM from the airport; they need to put it on the chart so we can program it in the box to make sure we make the crossing.
