RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-67, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Supporting an Application by the City of Irvine for the Orange County Transportation Authority's Measure M2 Traffic Signal Synchronization Program Funding for the Culver Drive - Bonita Canyon Drive Corridor Synchronization Project. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Funding is not required, at this time, for adoption of the Resolution to support the Irvine project application to the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program grant program. Should the project application be successful and awarded Measure M2 grant funds, the City will enter into a cooperative agreement with the City of Irvine to include the required funding for the City of Newport Beach's share of the project. The conceptual cost estimate, including work within Irvine, State of California (Caltrans) and Newport Beach right of way, is approximately $1,593,000. The required cash match for work within the City of Newport Beach is estimated at $166,000 (20%). Funding for the project will be included in the FY 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Program for Council consideration. 4-1 Adopt a Resolution Supporting an Application by the City of Irvine for the OCTA Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program for the Culver Drive - Bonita Canyon Drive Project October 24, 2017 Page 2 DISCUSSION: As part of the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP), the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program was created to enhance traffic signal coordination and reduce travel time delay by funding synchronization projects for multi - jurisdictional traffic signal corridors. Project eligibility requires a City Council Resolution supporting the application and implementation of the project. OCTA is currently administering the 2018 Call for Projects for the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program. Project applications received by OCTA will be evaluated and scored as part of the competitive program. If successful, the City will be required to provide the necessary local matching funds of at least 20 percent of the total project cost. The proposed project will synchronize traffic signals along the Culver Drive - Bonita Canyon Drive corridor through traffic signal equipment and communication infrastructure upgrades. This project includes 39 signalized intersections, of which six intersections are within the City of Newport Beach. As part of the project, the six Newport Beach intersections will receive new traffic signal control equipment and closed circuit television cameras. In addition, the intersections will receive revised traffic signal timing with monitored coordination along the project corridor once the project is complete. Lastly, installation of a new Fiber Optic communication cable will connect MacArthur Boulevard towards the city limits at Bonita Canyon Drive and Chambord. REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
