TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS (FREEWAYS) POLICY REVIEW
This item was placed on the agenda at the request of Mayor Agran.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tern Catalano, seconded by Councilman Dornan to:
REQUIREMENT OF VOTER APPROVAl'.
Direct staff to prepare letters, for the Mayor's signature, to participants in the
Eastern/Foothill Corridor and San Joaquin Hills Corridor JPA's. These letters will
report that Council policy, as of July 8, 1986, is that the City cannot Join either of
the Authorities until the citizens of Irvine approve the imposition of fees required
for JPA Membership. This policy will be implemented through a legally binding
vote or through an advisory vote that the Council will honor. Which of these
voting procedures is pursued depends on the outcome of litigation now pending
before the California Supreme Court.
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING PRIORITIES
The letters will also report that the City Council regards the enhancement of the
405 and 5 freeways to be the highest priority for regional transportation funding.
These enhancements include the provision of sound-attenuating walls and
landscaping. The letters should further report that Irvine's participation in the
JPA's requires that mechanisms be developed that would provide for full funding
of the improvements of the 405 and 5 Freeways.
EASTERN/FOOTHILL FREEWAY
The letter to the Eastern/Foothill JPA Members will report that the City of Irvine
will not participate unless the following policies are adopted:
1. The environmental analyses for the Route Location Study should include
alignments other than the currently adopted route through Irvine. Among
these should be an alignment of Foothill Freeway north of the Lomas
Ridge. The letter should also note that if the Foothill Freeway is not
deleted from regional road plans, Irvine's favored alignment is one north
of Lomas Ridge (unless environmental documentation demonstrates that
other alignments have fewer adverse effects on the City of Irvine).
2. The JPA must agree to study the below-grade construction of the Eastern
Freeway to reduce adverse effects on lrvine neighborhoods.
3. Members of the JPA will allow future development to proceed only when
there is sufficient capacity in the transportation system.

July 8~ 1986
SAN JOAQUIN HILLS FREEWAY
The letter to the members of the San Joaquin Hills Corridor JPA should report
that h'vine will not participate unless the ultimate right-of-way were constrained
to accommodate a roadway no wider than that of University Drive in Irvine. The
road must also be desigued to have the functional characteristics of an arterial
highway rather than a freeway. The road should not, for example, have grade
separations without compelling environmental documentation that demonstrates
that such separations reduce adverse effects on Irvine neighborhoods.
The letter should also report that JPA adoption of the policy regarding the
balancing of new .entitlement with road capacity (Policy 3 above) would be a
precondition for Irvine's participation in the San Joaquin Hills Corridor JPA.
After Council Discussion, it was moved by Councilwoman Miller, seconded by
Councilman Baker to continue this item to the Council meeting of July 22, 1986.

have as a result of the ruling in the Munsell v. City of Irvine matter.
OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION
Councilman Dornan read a prepared statement relative to the City's Land Use
Policy and how it relates to open space.
It was moved by Councilman Dornan, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Catalano to:
22.1
Direct the Open Space Task Force to prepare for City Council considera-
tion an amendment to the General Plan of the City of Irvine providing for
a major increase in land designated as permanent open space or
permanent agriculture. Priority shall be placed on the permanent

includes all of the inland hillsides along the San Diego Freeway from
University_ Drive/Jeffrey. Road to Sand Canyon Avenue; an area that
is currently designated for residential development. This area shall
be redesignated permanent open space. In addition, the proposed
Michelson Drive extension to Sand Canyon Avenue shall be deleted
from the General Plan. Furthermore, special consideration shall be
given to placing extraordinary limits on agricultural operations to
safeguard the Quail Hill area as a wildlife habitat for Canada Geese
and other migratory birds.
Substantial center-city agricultural lands~ including row crops__~n_d-
orchards located between the San Diego and Santa Ana Freeways, as
well as additional acreage adiacent to the Village of Northwood; laa(~s
that are currently designated for residential and commeroial
development. These lands shall be redesignated permanent open
space. Until such time as a General Plan Amendment on open space
is adopted by the City Council, there shall be a moratorium on the
further cutting or removal of citrus trees. The City Attorney shall
prepare such ordinance for Council adoption within 15 days.
preparing the Amendment to the General Plan, the Open Space Task

ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
1055 North Main Street, Suite 516
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Dear Mr. Oftelie:.
The purpose of this letter is to info~, you of the July 8,
1986 Irvine City Council action, which affects City policies
regarding the proposed San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor.
The Council has directed me as Mayor to communicate these poli-
cies to you.
It is the new policy of the City Council, adopted on a 3-2
vote, that the City of Irvine will not join the San Joaquin
Hills Transportation Corridor Joint Powers Authority.(JPA)
until there is an election at which the citizens of Irvine
approve the imposition of the development fees required for
JPA membership. Subject to the outcome of litigation now pending
before the State Supreme Court (Munsell et al. v. City of Irvine),.
it remains to be determined whether the election will be a
legally binding vote or an advisory vote.
With regard to the design aspects of the San Joaquin Hills
Corridor, it is the City of Irvine's policy that this road
must be designed to have the functional characteristics of
an arterial highway rather than a freeway; for example, there
should not be grade separations at intersections unless there
is compelling documentation that such grade separations would
reduce adverse effects on Irvine neighborhoods. This also
means that the ultimate right-of-way shall be constructed to
accommodate a roadway that is no wider than University Drive
through Irvine.
It is further the position of the Irvine City Council that
these policies be adopted by the Joint Powers Authority as
a condition of Irvine's joining the Authority.
July 22, 1986
Mr. Stan Oftelie, Acting Executive Director
San Joaguin Hills Transportation Corridor JPA
Page Two
It is important to note that the City Council took no action
to repeal the City's development fee ordinance. Accordingly,
the City continues to collect developer fees for the San Joaquin
Hills Transportation Corridor pursuant to Ordinance 85-35,
Section V.F-904 of the Irvine Municipal Code. The fees collected
to date total $103,249.60. Staff advises me that the accumulated
fees should reach $3,851,776.50 by July 1, 1987.
Finally, consistent with the policies adopted by the City Council
on July 8, it is the desire of the Irvine City Council to parti-
cipate with the Joint Powers Authority and to work with the
County and all of the member cities to resolve regional transpor-
tation issues. We believe it is possible to do so while at
the same time remaining faithful to our own commitment to achieve
the fullest measure of citizen participation in the formation
of transportation policies.

Dear Mr. Oftelie:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the July 8,
1986 Irvine City Council action, which affects City policies
regarding the proposed Foothill/Eastern Corridor. The Council
has directed me as Mayor to Communicate these policies to you.
It is the new policy of the City Council, adopted on a 3-2
vote, that the City of Irvine will not join the Foothill/Eastern
Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Until there is an election at
which the cit&zens of Irvine approve the imposition of the
development fees required for JPA membership. Subject to the
outcome of litigation now pending before the State Supreme
Court, (Munsell et al. v. City of Irvine), it remains to be
determined whether, the election will be a legally binding vote
or an advisory vote.
At its July 8 meeting, the Council clarified and reaffi~n~ed
its existing position regarding several other issues. Specifi-
cally:
1. The environmental analyses for the ongoing Eastern and
'Foothill Transportation Corridor studies should evaluate
alignments other than the currently adopted route for the
Foothill Corridor through Irvine. Among these alternatives
should be an alignment north of the Lomas Ridge. Furthermore,
if the Foothill Freeway is not deleted from regional road
plans, Irvine's favored alignment is one north of the Lomas
Ridge unless environmental documentation demonstrates that
other, alignments have fewer adverse effects on the City
of Irvine.
2. The JPA should agree to study the below-grade construction
of the Eastern Freeway to reduce adverse effects on Irvine
neighborhoods. . .........
July 22, 1986
Mr. Stan Oft,lie, Acting Executive Director
Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor JPA
Page Two
The members of the JPA should allow future development
to proceed only when there is sufficient capacity in the
transportation system.
These three policies have previously been expressed by the
City and discussed by the JPA Operations Committee on several
occasions. In fact, it is my understanding that agreement
on JPA action relative to these three policies has been achieved
at the staff level in the form of a draft resolution. It is
the position of the Irvine City Council that these policies
be adopted by the Joint Powers Authority as a condition of
Irvine's joining the Authority.
It is important to note that the City Council took no action
to repeal the City's development fee ordinance. Accordingly,
the City continues to collect developer fees for the Foothill/
Eastern Freeway pursuant to Ordinance 85-35, Section V.F-904
of the Irvine Municipal Code. The fees collected to date total
$1,128,813.90. Staff advises me that the accumulated fees
should reach $5,871,623.00.by July 1, 1987.
Finally, consistent with the policies adopted by the City Council
on July 8, it is the desire of' the Irvine City Council to parti-
cipate with the Joint Powers Authority and to work with the
C.ounty and all of the member cities to resolve regional transpor-
tation issues. We believe it is possible to do so while at
the same tame remaining faithful to' our own commitment to achieve
the fullest measure of citizen participation in the formation

RECOMMENDATION:
Receive, comment, and file the summary of Irvine Policy
issues related to the subject Corridors and Joint Powers

HISTORY:
The Joint Powers Agencies have begun a policy issue inventory in
an effort to identify and address all the issues raised during
their formation. Being an active participant in the creation of
the Joint Powers Agencies, the City has adopted a number of
policies which will be addressed.
DISCUSSION:
Inventory sheets summarizing policy concerns by member agencies
have recently been distributed. City staff is now reviewing
these sheets for completeness. The Transportation Commission has
also provided additional input at their June 9, 1986, meeting.
Interviews have been held between each agency and the
representatives of the Joint Powers Agencies conducting this
effort to discuss contents of the inventory sheets.
Attached is a summary of issues raised by Irvine for each Joint
Powers Agency. Under the column heading of "Disposition", there
is an indication when an issue was modified or added by the
City. Also included are the various issues which concern the
other members. These issues/policy statements have been
developed after numerous public meetings conducted by the City
Council and City Commissions and reflect the policy statements
adopted with the Joint Powers Agreements for the Corridors. It
is requested that the Council review these policy statements and
provide any comments or clarification and direction prior to any
formal action of the Joint Powers Agency.
