INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES CHAPTER
Circulation Element
The primary locations where significant roadway capacity deficiencies are expected to occur at year 2010
are in the areas in the northern section of the City near the San Diego Freeway and at the eastern portion of
the City adjacent to the Santa Ana River. Also, it is expected that thirteen traffic signal controlled
intersections are predicted to operate below level of service D in year 2010 without implementation of the
roadway system described in the policy section of this Element.
The potential increase in total citywide trip generation is based on the Land Use Alternative (GPAC 3) at
2010 build-out. The potential build-out will require major improvements to the transportation system, such
as the implementation of roadways that may be proposed in the future and completion of those partially
implemented improvements in transit service, implementation of the City's transportation demand
management program and implementation of programs to reduce the potential for negative impacts on
residential areas. The policies and programs included in the Circulation Element have been designed to
provide a transportation network with adequate capacity to accommodate the build-out of the Land Use
Element and include mechanisms to monitor and maintain acceptable traffic conditions over time as
development occurs.
In order to remain eligible to receive Measure M funds and Congestion Management Plan funds (Prop.
111), the City of Huntington Beach has kept certain elements of the Master Plan of Arterial Highways
(MPAH) on the 2010 Circulation Plan of Arterial Highways. These items include the proposed Santa Ana
River Bridge Crossings and the Bolsa Chica Cross Gap Connector. These elements are required to remain
on the City's Circulation Plan of Arterial Highways to maintain consistency with the Orange County Master
Plan of Arterial Highways(OCMPAH). In addition, the City has included its Circulation
Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways in the General Plan (see Figure CE-13).
As of 1995, Measure M and Congestion Management Plan funds exceeded of$3,000,000.00 per year.
In addition, the Orange County Transportation Authority and surrounding cities are currently participating
in a cooperative study to discuss the appropriateness of certain elements of the OCMPAH. The elements
include, but are not limited to, such roadway segments as the Santa Ana River Bridge Crossings. The
current OCMPAH was adopted assuming a mix of land uses based upon the adopted Land Use Elements
that were in place for the County and each surrounding City. Since that time, the County and the
surrounding Cities have adopted amendments to the land use designations or made strong commitments
to their citizens regarding certain roadway segments of the OCMPAH. For example, the Huntington
Beach City Council unanimously adopted Resolution Number 6544 on November 1, 1993, which
recommended that the County initiate the process to remove the 19th Street! Banning Avenue and the
Geisler Avenue/Garfield Avenue bridges from the OCMPAH. The County has undertaken this issue by
the formulation of the Santa Ana River Crossings Cooperative Study. These actions along with the
Cooperative Study will necessitate additional review, traffic studies, and environmental review that
possibly will require modifications to the OCMPAH. OCTA has indicated that upon completion of the
update of the Huntington Beach General Plan and the review of the general plans of surrounding cities,
the OCMPAH is scheduled to be updated. At that time, some of the current roadway segments are likely
to be modified or deleted. Due to these uncertainties, future land use planning and transportation
planning will be based upon the changes that surrounding jurisdictions have made to their respective
Land Use and Circulation Elements. The potential changes will be based upon the information gathered
from the recommendations made by the cooperative study on the Santa Ana River Bridge Crossings.
Therefore, there is the possibility that the OCMPAH road segments may never be constructed.
