Additionally, every even-numbered year, <br />the City is required to adopt a resolution affirming consistency between <br />the City's Circulation Element and the Orange County Master Plan of <br />Arterial Highways (MPAH). The resolution attests that the City's adopted <br />General Plan Circulation Element does not preclude implementation of the <br />MPAH within the City of Santa Ana. Furthermore, it declares that no <br />unilateral reduction in through-lanes has been made on MPAH arterials <br />during Fiscal Years 2006/2007 and 2007/2008, that a uniform setback <br />ordinance is in effect, and that provisions are in place to limit access <br />to arterial highways in order to protect the integrity of the system. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Adoption of the resolution will enable the City to continue to receive <br />approximately $3.8 million Measure M turnback funds each year and to be <br />eligible for all Competitive Grant Funding Programs administered by the <br />OCTA. <br />~~ Ja s G.
