FILE NUMBER
Adopt a resolution affirming consistency between the City's Circulation Element and the Orange
County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and reaffirming concurrence with the existing
Transportation System Improvement Area fee program to maintain eligibility to continue receiving
Measure M Program funding.
DISCUSSION
Each year, local agencies are required to submit documentation to the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) to obtain and remain eligible to receive Measure M2
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP) Funds. Additionally, every odd
numbered calendar year, the City is required to adopt a resolution which affirms consistency
between the City's Circulation Element and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways
(MPAH), and which reaffirms adoption of the City's traffic mitigation fee program.
This resolution attests that the City's adopted General Plan Circulation Element does not preclude
implementation of the MPAH within Santa Ana, and that no unilateral reduction in through-lanes has
been made on MPAH arterials during Fiscal Years 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. Furthermore, it
declares that a uniform setback ordinance is in effect, and that provisions are in place to limit access
to arterial highways in order to protect the integrity of the system. The resolution also reaffirms the
City's concurrence of its existing and previously adopted Transportation System Improvement Area
fee which is collected to mitigate the effects of new development on transportation infrastructure.

The Measure M Program guidelines require Council adoption of the resolution prior to June 30,
2013. Completing this step in the eligibility process will enable the City to continue to receive
approximately $3.8 million in Measure M2 Turnback funds each year and to be eligible for CTFP
funding administered by the OCTA.
