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. -11- City Council Minutes 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. The motion failed by the following roll call vote: AYES: 2 COUNCILMEMBERS: Baker and Miller NOES: 3 COUNCILMEMBERS: Catala.no, Dornan, and Agran ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: None The main motion carried by the following roU call vote: AYES: 3 COUNCILMEMBERS: Catalano, Dornan, and Agran NOES: 2 COUNCILMEMBERS: Baker and Miller ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS:.

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 preservation of open space and agrleultural lands in close proximity to current residential development.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilman Baker commented on the negative reactions from the members of the Eastern/Foothill and San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridors Joint Powers Authoritfes regarding the City's presentation of preconditions of joining that agency. It was, moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilwoman Miller: That the City of [rvine join unconditionally the Eastern/Foothill and San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridors, Joint Powers Authorities at the earliest possible date as a full member with ail corresponding voting rights and committee membership. Request the City Attorney to develop thd following concept as a charter amendment to be submitted to the voters in November 1986: Citlr Council Minutes Jul}, 22~ 1986 The voters of the City of Irvine shall be required to approve any freeway agreement for the proposed Eastern/Foothill or San Joaquin Transportation Corridors. e After joining the JPA's, the City's representative to the JPA's shall be dire,ted to pursue adoption by the JPA's of all City of lrvine policies and transmit to the JPA's as part of Il'vine's design additional goals for the project that: The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor shall be designed to assure compatibility with the circulation master plan in the City of Irvine. Consistent with that goal, the facilities should contain no more than six lanes and a minimum number of interchanges and grade separations to fulfill h-vine's scenic highway objectives. The Joint Powers Authorities should develop voluntary recommendations to its respective members to assure that land use remains in balance with transportation faqilities. Should the California Supreme Court rule that the C.O.S.T. initiative is valid, the required elections would be held as soon as practical after the rulings. Mayor Pro Tern Catalano offered a substitute motion to: Direct that Councilman Baker's su~,~estions be sent to the Transportation Policy Committee for review, to be' worked on, and to attempt to find ways to further articulate the policies which will be returned to Council.

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.

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 of transportation policies.
