Transportation Authority (OCTA) in order to obtain and remain eligible for 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 2013/2014 and 2014/2015.
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 with Its existing and previously adopted
Transportation System Improvement Area fee which is collected to mitigate the effects of new
development on transportation Infrastructure.
