end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt a resolution and forego the eligibility for Measure M2 funding.
Analysis:
The City is required to adopt a resolution biennially, informing OCTA that the City’s Circulation Element is in conformance with the MPAH and whether any changes to any arterial highways of the Circulation Element have been adopted by the City. In addition, the City Council must reaffirm that the City concurs with the existing mitigation fee program. The following are descriptions of the resolution items:
Circulation Element/MPAH Consistency
A Circulation Element is one component of the City’s General Plan that depicts a planned multimodal network and related policies. The City’s Circulation Element defines the minimum planned lane configurations for major roads and shall be consistent with the OCTA MPAH, which defines the minimum planned lane configurations for major regionally significant roads in Orange County.
Mitigation Fee Program
The mitigation fee program is a locally established fee program, which assess fees used to mitigate effects of new development on transportation infrastructure. Appropriate mitigation measures, including payment of fees, construction of improvements, or any combination thereof, will be determined through an established and documented process by the City. The City adopted Resolution No. 2012-23 (attached) establishing new and revised mitigation fees.
Resolution No. 2019-29 allows the City to meet annual eligibility requirements to receive Measure M2 Net Revenues.
