144 <br />OC RIVER WALK PASSIVE PARK NOE <br />Implementation of OC River Walk in Anaheim, adjacent to the future ocV!BE <br />The City of Anaheim proposed the development of a small park on an <br />irregularly shaped parcel just southwest of SR-57, north of Orangewood <br />Avenue, west of the Santa Ana River, and east of and adjacent to Angel <br />Stadium. The vision for this park is as a piece of the city's larger vision <br />for OCRiver Wolk, which aims to improve a recreational and aesthetic <br />corridor along the Santa Ana River. This passive park will serve travelers on <br />the Santa Ana River trail system, people walking or driving to the park, and <br />future residents of the Stadium District as it is redeveloped for mixed -use <br />and an urban core called ocV!BE. The amenities include bike/equestrian <br />rest stops, a shaded plaza pavilion, an amphitheater, a children's play area, <br />fitness zones, walking path, and an interactive interpretive area. <br />The City's RFP was for preparation of an initial study/(mitigated) <br />negative declaration, but after a change in the project description, <br />PlaceWorks advised the city that the project would qualify for a Class 4 <br />categorical exemption, "Minor Alterations to Land," and the city agreed. <br />PlaceWorks prepared and filed a notice of exemption with a supplement <br />substantiating that none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines <br />Section 15300.2 would apply. Technical background research used in <br />the supplement included a biological resources constraints memo and a <br />cultural and paleontological resources assessment report. <br />Location <br />Orange, California <br />Size <br />3.4 acres <br />Client <br />City of Anaheim, Parks & Recreation <br />Department <br />Date Completed <br />February 2022 <br />Services Provided <br />Notice of Exemption, Biological and <br />Cultural and Paleontological Resources <br />Studies prepared by Subconsultants <br />® PLACEWORKS A_71 <br />
