For a city circulation element to be consistent with the KPAH, for purposes of regional funding program eligibility, it shall have an equivalent planned traffic-carrying capacity for all KPAH links within the city's jurisdiction. "Planned capacity" shall be measured by the number of through lanes on each arterial highway as shown on the local circulation element. Cities shall not be inconsistent as a result of existing capacity limitations on ar~erials which are not yet constructed to the circulation element designation. However, any city which unilaterally reduces the number of through lanes of an KPAH arterial highway on its circulation element to less than shown on the KPAH without County approval shall be inconsistent with the MPAH on the date city council action is taken and is ineligible for regional funding until consistency is re-established. PROGRA;\l ELIGIBILITY Local Agency Responsibility Eligibility requirements shall be verified annually as follows: 1. For Measure M "Streets and Roads Maintenance and Road Improvements" ($450 million "turnback") funds, cities shall adopt a General Plan Circulation I Element which does not preclude implementation of the MPAH and shall take no action to preclude implementation of the KPAH. 2. For all competitive regional funding programs such as the Arterial Highway Financing Program (AHFP), Orange County Unified Transportation Trust Fund (OCUIT) , Combined aoad Fund (CRP) , and Measure M "Regional Street and Road Projects", "KPAH Improvements" and "Growth Management Area Improvements", cities shall adopt: a. a General Plan Circulation Element which is consistent with the KPAH, and b. a City Council resolution attesting that no unilateral reduction in lanes has been made on any KPAH arterials. Annual Review Process Each year , County shall determine if city circulation elements provide equal numbers of through lanes for e.ach highway shown on the KPAH. County shall also ensure that local agencies have not unilaterally reduced the number of lanes on any existing arterial highway (effective April 1, 1991). Approval Process Upon completion of the review, a joint committee of city and county III representativea will make recommendations for eligibility to the Orange County Transportation Authority for Measure M, CRP, and OC1.JTT programs and to the County Board of Supervisors for Arterial Highway Financing Program. Tbeae reQommendations shall be reviewed and formally approved by aCTA and the Board. RE-ESTABLlSHING PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY Once a city haa been determined to be ineligible for regional funda, it may seek to re-establish, eligibility by requesting a cooperaeive study be unc1ercaken with I I I Reso~ution Number '. ~g County. ~he study wl11 be designed to 1) ascertain the regional transportation system need, 2) make provisions to meet those needs in the city General Plan and 3)re-estab1ish consistency with the MPAH. Any changes to the city General Plan or the MPAH shall be mutually acceptable to the city and the county. Until such a study has been completed, the City shall be ineligible to receive applicable funds. MUTUAL CHANGES TO CIRCULATION ELEMENT AND MPAH A city and the County may mutually revise their respective circulation elements through the cooperative process outlined above. Cities shall continue to be eligible to receive funds while the cooperative study process is underway. .
