For a city circulatlon element to be consistent with the ~PAH, for purposes of regional funding program eligibility, it shall have an equivalent planned traffic-carrying capaciTy for all HPAH links within the city's Jurisdiction. "Planned capacity" shall be measured by the number of through lanes on each arterial highway as shown on the local circulation element. Cities shall not be inconsistent as a result of existing capacity limitations on arterials which are not yet constructed to the circulation element designation. However, any city which unilaterally reduces the number of through lanes of an'F~PAH arterial. highway on its circulation element to less than shown on the MPAHwithout County approval shall be inconsistent with the MPAH on the date city council action is taken and is ineligible for regional funding until consistency is re-established.
