7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 10873 was approved by the Orange City Council on June 9, 2015 and submitted
to the OCTA in accordance with Renewed Measure M guidelines. During discussions between
the City staff and OCTA, it was revealed that the City needed to create a new resolution that
included Fiscal Year 2013 -14 in the language. Consequently, a Staff Report was developed that
recommended that the City Council rescind Resolution No. 10873 and adopt Resolution No.
10881. Resolution No. 10881 reflects the changes recommended by OCTA.
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.
