SUBJECT: Renewed Measure M Eligibility Renewal FY 2022-2023 Dear Ms. Alacar,
The Fullerton City Council approved a comprehensive General Plan update on May 1, 2012 (The Fullerton Plan). One of its guiding principles is to consider mobility options of every kind as a prime factor in the planning of buildings, streets and paths, traffic patterns and development of the transit center.
The Fullerton Plan is divided into four master elements containing the City's goals and policies pertaining to the built environment, the economy, the community, and the natural environment.
Each master element is further broken down into chapters addressing more specific topic areas.
The chapters which directly focus on transportation policy include:
• Chapter 4 - Mobility. The stated purpose of this chapter is to further the attainment of a balanced, multi-modal transportation network that minimizes environmental and neighborhood impacts. It seeks to link Fullerton's system of roadways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, bus and rail transit systems, and airport-all of which collectively provide for the movement of persons, goods, and services throughout the City, region, and beyond. It also calls for integrated land use and transportation planning and implementation. (Attachment A)
• Chapter 5 - Bicycle. The purpose of this chapter is to meet the needs of commuter and recreational bicyclists and provide safe connectivity between activity centers within the City of Fullerton and with adjoining jurisdictions. The Bicycle Element seeks to broaden transportation choices for residents, employees, and visitors. (Attachment B) • Chapter 6 - Growth Management. This chapter guides growth and development based on the City's ability to provide an adequate circulation system and public facilities. This element fulfills the requirements of the Countywide Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Program. (Attachment C)
The Fullerton Plan identifies twelve geographic focus areas in which the City desires to concentrate future growth and development because the areas generally possess some or all of the following characteristics:
• Areas experiencing or will be experiencing transition • Areas with special resources (historic, educational, cultural, transportation node) • Areas providing a variety of development options or market interest
