DISCUSSION:
In June 1990 California voters approved Proposition 111, which increased the tax paid by consumers upon the purchase of motor vehicle fuel (Gas Tax). Pursuant to Proposition 111, California cities are allocated a portion of gas tax revenue as a source of funds to pay for local transportation projects. Gas tax funding will provide the City of La Habra approximately $1,532,754 during Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and will be used to fund a variety of road improvement projects, including street rehabilitation, street widening, curb and gutter repair/reconstruction, sidewalks, curb access ramps, parkway improvements, signal and intersection improvements, striping, and signing.
On November 7, 2006, Orange County voters approved a 30-year, multi-billion-dollar program extension of the original Measure M (1991-2011) program, a local half-cent transportation sales tax to fund transportation projects in Orange County. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) administers Measure M. When it was extended, the original Measure M was rebranded as “Measure M2,” and provides an apportionment of sales tax revenue for local jurisdictions for street maintenance and improvements.
Known as the Measure M2 “Fair Share,” the revenue is apportioned to local jurisdictions based on several factors, including population, miles of existing Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH), roadways, and taxable sales. OCTA estimates that the City of La Habra will receive $876,488 from “Fair Share” apportionment during Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
On May 24, 2021, the City of La Habra Planning Commission considered and determined that the proposed Seven-Year CIP is consistent with the City’s General Plan 2035. Staff is submitting for City Council’s review and adoption the Updated Measure M2 Seven-Year CIP covering Fiscal Year 2021-2022 through Fiscal Year 2027-2028. The Seven-Year CIP includes all transportation projects funded partially or wholly by Measure M2 and Gas Tax dollars. The Seven-Year CIP is a planning document and may be amended to reflect changes in priorities and conditions that may occur throughout the course of the year and the seven-year cycle.
In order to maintain its eligibility to receive Measure M2 sales tax revenue, the City of La Habra is required to submit to OCTA the following documents on or before June 30, 2021:
| 1. | M2 Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) |
| The City’s Measure M2 Seven-Year CIP for Fiscal Year 2021-22 through 2027-28 consistent with the proposed citywide CIP Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. The submittal of the Measure M2 Seven-Year CIP does not commit the City to funding the identified improvements; however, projects must be included in the M2 Seven-Year CIP to be eligible to receive Measure M2 funding. This document is updated annually to allow for changes based on City Council priorities. The CIP emphasizes projects that improve circulation, mitigate traffic congestion, and maintain the City’s investment in existing transportation infrastructure. | |
| 2. | Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highway (MPAH) Consistency |
| The MPAH provides for the planning, development, and preservation of a coordinated regional arterial highway network to supplement the countywide freeway system. To remain eligible for Measure M2 funds, the City’s General Plan Circulation Element must be consistent with the MPAH by maintaining an equivalent number of minimum through lanes on each arterial highway shown on the MPAH map. The City’s Circulation Element is in full compliance with MPAH requirements. The City must submit a City Council-adopted resolution to OCTA attesting that no unilateral reduction in lanes were made to any arterials identified in the MPAH. | |
| 3. | Mitigation Fee Program Concurrence Documentation |
| The City Council adopted resolution serves as the concurrence document that is submitted to OCTA. The resolution certifies that the City has an existing mitigation fee program that assesses traffic impacts of new development and requires new development to pay a fair share of necessary transportation improvements attributable to the new development. | |
| 4. | Pavement Management Program (PMP) |
| The City’s PMP outlines the processes in place for the planning, preventive maintenance, and repair of the City’s roadways. The PMP analyzes pavement life cycles, assesses overall system performance costs, and assists the City in determining pavement maintenance strategies and cost estimates necessary to maintain the City’s roadway network. The City’s previous PMP was last updated on May 22, 2019 is being replaced with the current proposed version dated April 2, 2021 and which is required to be submitted to OCTA. |
