be based on the following inputs and guiding principles: • Reflect the Input and Values of the Community: The input and feedback received through the community outreach effort must be reflected in the policies identified for the Circulation Element. We see a benefit in "testing" specific draft policies and goals with the community through the outreach process, both in workshops /community meetings and through the project website. This process will allow the community to provide direct feedback on the policies, playing an active role in the development of the policies. • Provide the City with a Roadmap for Creating a Safe and Efficient Multi - Modal Transportation Network. • Address and Satisfy the Requirements of Regional and State Mandates and Programs: The City of Santa Ana must comply with the requirements of the OCTA MPAH and Measure M2 to ensure that the city remains eligible for transportation funding. The City must also appropriately address the requirements placed on all jurisdictions in California through the Complete Streets Act and SIB 375, which require planning for and accommodating all transportation modes, while reducing GHG emissions and VMT. Complicating these efforts is the fact that State mandates have very different goals and objectives from regional requirements dictated by OCTA through the MPAH and Measure M2. The goals and policies must carefully balance these sometime conflicting requirements to ensure that the City remains in compliance with all regional and state mandates. IBI's recent work with OCTA in preparing the 2010 Long Range Transportation Plan will be very valuable in this effort. Ensure Consistency with other General Plan Elements. We anticipate that the goals and policies with be reviewed, refined, and vetted through a defined process that will include review by city staff and review by the Planning Commission, Environmental Transportation Committee and City Council through study sessions identified in the RFP. The IBI team will lead the preparation of clear and concise presentations for these meetings and associated review efforts to facilitate an efficient review process and appropriate tracking of comments received, revisions made to the goals and policies, and final presentation of the goals and policies for adoption. 10
