As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Adopt a resolution affirming consistency between the City's Circulation Element and the Orange <br />County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and reaffirming concurrence with the existing <br />Transportation System Improvement Area fee program to maintain eligibility to continue receiving <br />Measure M Program funding. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Each year, local agencies are required to submit documentation to the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA) to obtain and remain eligible to receive Measure M2 <br />Comprehensive Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) Funds. Additionally, every odd <br />numbered calendar year, the City is required to adopt a resolution which affirms consistency <br />between the City's Circulation Element and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways <br />(MPAH), and which reaffirms adoption of the City's traffic mitigation fee program. <br />This resolution attests that the City's adopted General Plan Circulation Element does not preclude <br />implementation of the MPAH within Santa Ana, and that no unilateral reduction in through-lanes has <br />been made on MPAH arterials during Fiscal Years 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. Furthermore, it <br />declares that a uniform setback 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. The resolution also reaffirms the <br />City's concurrence of its existing and previously adopted Transportation System Improvement Area <br />fee which is collected to mitigate the effects of new development on transportation infrastructure. <br />55B-1
