CITY OF SWM ANA POLICY SIATEMERT On March 18, 1985 the Santa Ana Council adopted a policy statement which set forth the concerns of the City regarding the proposed County development fee program. That statement in part;as presented in letters to Stan Oftelie, Executive Director of the Orange County Transportation Coiimissirn, and to the .Board of Supervisors by the Mayor nn behalf of the Council stated:. ... The Council recognizes the need to generate additional sources of revenue and supports the concept of developer fees as an appropriate means to counteract the costs of transportation development and provide a funding mix for solutions. However, while recognizing these needs on a countywide perspective, there remain certain conditions and concerns which must be addressed as part of the execution of any agreements of participation on the part of the city of Santa Ana ... these include - the impact of construction ... on urban sprawl and traffic congestion ....Eand3 the ,proposed corridor development in relation to the overall Countywide master plan for transportation.
