Re: Red Hill Avenue – Master Plan of Arterial Highways Amendment Request

Dear Mr. Larwood:

The City of Irvine would like to initiate a Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) amendment request with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to reclassify a portion of Red Hill Avenue from a m ajor arterial to a primary arterial. The portion to be reclassified is south of MacArthur Boulevard to Main Street, as the roadway is currently classified as a primary arterial south of Main Street.

The Red Hill Avenue roadway segment is currently a four -lane roadway, but is identified as a six-lane major roadway in the Orange County MPAH. The City recently approved the Irvine Business Complex Vision Plan Traffic Study update (IBC Study), which showed this segment will perform at an acceptable level of service without the implementation of the six-lane roadway. As a part of the IBC Study, an alternatives analysis reviewing the Red Hill Avenue amendment specifically was completed (“IBC Vision Plan 2018 Traffic Study Update – Alternatives Analysis”, dated June 2019) and will be forwarded electronically to your staff.

We are requesting a meeting with your staff to discuss the downgrade request and begin the formal amendment process. If you have questions regarding this request, please contact Melissa Dugan, Supervising Transportation Analyst at 949- 724-7384 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Jaimee Bourgeois

From: Darrell E. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer

Subject: Amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority administers the Master Plan of Arterial Highways, including the review and approval of amendments requested by local agencies. The cities of Fullerton and Irvine have requested amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways that are recommended for approval. A n update is also provided on pending Master Plan of Arterial Highways amendments.

Recommendations

A. Conditionally a pprove the amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways to reclassify the facilities listed below in the cities of Fullerton and Irvine. Each proposed amendment will become final contingent upon the Orange County Transportation Authority receiving documentation demonstrating that the respective general plan has been amended accordingly and has complied with the California Environmental Quality Act requirements.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING NO. C-3-2925

EXHIBIT C
Amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highway Page 2

D. Receive and file a status report on the pending Master Plan of Ar terial Highways amendments.

Background

Proposed amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Hig hways ( MPAH) are submitted to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors (Board) on a periodic basis. The requested amendments for the cities of Fullerton (Fullerton) and Irvine (Irvine) are illustrated in Attachment A and Attachment B, respectively. Details on the requested amendment s are provided below, along with an update on pending MPAH amendments.

Discussion

The cities of Fullerton and Irvine submitted requests to amend the MPAH as documented in Attachment C and Attachment D, respectively . Staff reviewed city-provided traffic data supporting each amendment request and has concluded that the proposed changes can accommodate existing and future traffic volumes.

Furthermore, existing, and future traffic levels of service (LOS) can be maintained at an acceptable LOS D or better.

Fullerton

As indicated in Attachment C, Associated Road is requested to be reclassified on the MPAH from a secondary (four -lane, divided) arterial to a divided collector (two-lane, divided) arterial between Imperial Highway and Bastanchury Road. This segment is currently built as a secondary arterial; however, Fullerton wishes to reallocate excess roadway capacity to accommodate Class IV protected bicycle lanes and on-street parking.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING NO. C-3-2925

EXHIBIT C
Amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highway Page 3

Forecasted conditions for 2045 indicate that the proposed amendment will result in Associated Road operati ng at LOS A (about 8,200 to 8,400 daily vehicles).

Furthermore, no other jurisdictions are affected by this proposed amendment.

Therefore, the proposed reclassification and reallocation of excess capacity will have a minimal effect on traffic operations on Associated Road while providing for active transportation and parking enhancements that serve local needs. Based on these findings, conditional approval of this MPAH amendment is recommended.

Irvine

As indicated in Attachment D, Red Hill Avenue between MacArthur Boulevard and Main Street is requested to be reclassified on the MPAH from a major (six-lane, divided) arterial to a primary (four-lane, divided) arterial. This segment is currently built as a primary arterial and Irvine is requesting to amend the MPAH to this existing configuration.

Forecasted traffic conditions for 2045 indicate that the proposed amendment results in this segment of Red Hill Avenue operating at LOS B or better (16,500 to 22,300 daily vehicles). However, the results also indicate that by 2045 impacts are anticipated in the City of Santa Ana (Santa Ana) at the intersections of Flower Street at Segerstrom Avenue and Flower Street at MacArthur Boulevard.

Santa Ana has reviewed the traffic study and provided a letter of support for the requested MPAH amendment ( Attachment E). Additionally, staff coordinated discussions between the cities of Irvine and Santa Ana that resulted in the development of a draft mitigation program to address impacts to the above-mentioned intersections in Santa Ana . The recommended mitigation measures include:

• Flower Street at Segerstrom Avenue – add westbound right turn lane • Flower Street at MacArthur Boulevard – add eastbound right turn lane

Staff recommends conditional approval of th is MPAH amendment and authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to nego tiate and execute a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to document agreement between OCTA, Irvine, and Santa Ana on the mitigation program . If approved by the Board, the proposed amendment will not become final until OCTA receives: (1) a fully executed MOU, and (2) documentation that Irvine has amended the general plans and compl ied with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CEQA

Amendments to the MPAH are exempt from CEQA review. As such, if the Board approves the recommendations, OCTA will file a Notice of Exemption from CEQA for the conditionally approved MPAH amendment.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING NO. C-3-2925

EXHIBIT C
Amendments to the Master Plan of Arterial Highway Page 4

MPAH Amendment Status Update

There are currently 16 pending amendments proposed for the MPAH as detailed in Attachment F. Many of the amendments are awaiting local action to amend their respective general plans. Others are either under review, are in the cooperative study process, are pending resolution of issues with other agencies, or are awaiting refinement of development plans.

Summary

Fullerton and Irvine have requested amendments to the MPAH. With implementation of identified mitigations, t hese amendments would not adversely impact the integrity of the MPAH. Therefore, staff recommends Board approval of the amendments requested. A summary of pending MPAH amendments is also provided.

Subject: Master Plan of Arterial Highways Amendment – Associated Road

Dear Ms. Hang,

The City of Fullerton is requesting an amendment to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH). Associated Road is currently a 4-lane secondary arterial spanning from Yorba Linda Boulevard to Imperial Highway within the City of Fullerton. The City is recommending the segment between Bastanchury Road to Imperial Highway be reclassified to a 2-lane divided collector. The reclassification will support the City’s objective to provide on-street parking and upgrade the existing Class II bike lanes to protected Class IV bikeways. Attachment ‘A’ illustrates the limits and existing/proposed cross-section.

The reclassification requires lane reduction, which was determined feasible based on historic Annual Daily Traffic (ADT) data. Attached ‘B’ illustrate ADT volumes from 1995 to 2019 throughout the City. The segment of Associate Road between Bastanchury Road to Imperial Highway has approximately 10,500 -10,600 ADT, which is well within the range of 9,000 to 15,000 ADT for a divided collector identified in the MPAH.

In parallel with this request, the City is making efforts to update the Circulation Element map in our General Plan to reflect the changes identified above.

Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

Regards,

Stephen Bise, PE, TE
