DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Annually, cities in Orange County must re- qualify for participation in the Arterial Highway Financing Program and Measure M2 Street and Road Program. One of the requirements is for the City Council of the local jurisdiction to pass a resolution annually verifying that the City's Circulation and Mobility Element is consistent with the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways and the Mitigation Fee Program is current. The Circulation and Mobility Element that the City utilizes is derived from the 2010 updated General Plan. The Circulation Element within that General Plan describes how many lanes a given arterial will have in the future as well as the roadway width of that particular street. In order to be consistent with the County MPAH, an arterial on the City's Circulation Element must show at least as many lanes as that same roadway has on the County MPAH. The City's Circulation Element is consistent with the County MPAH. 8.
