Additionally, the City is required to adopt a <br />resolution affirming consistency between the City's Circulation Element and the Orange County <br />Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) every year. <br />This resolution attests that the City's adopted General Plan Circulation Element does not preclude <br />implementation of the MPAH within Santa Ana. Furthermore, it declares that no unilateral reduction <br />in through-lanes has been made on MPAH arterials during fiscal years 2008/2009 and 2009/2010, <br />that a uniform setback ordinance is in effect, and that provisions are in place to limit access to <br />arterial highways in order to protect the integrity of the system. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with the action. <br />55A-1
