Document Description
The project involves development of a passive nature park on the three-acre project site. The park would help implement the City’s larger vision to improve a recreational and aesthetic corridor along the Santa Ana River. The park would serve those traveling on the Santa Ana River trail system, individuals walking or driving to the park, and future residents of the Stadium District area as it is redeveloped for mixed-use and an urban core.
Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15051(a), Criteria for Identifying the Lead Agency, the project will be carried out by the City of Anaheim, therefore, Anaheim will be the lead agency even though the project site is in the jurisdiction of the City of Orange.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15304 (Class 4): Minor Alterations to Land
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves the development of a passive nature park on the project site. The project would save most of the trees on-site except where tree removal is necessary for health and safety reasons. Therefore, no removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees would be removed. The majority of the project site would remain in its natural state except where minimal grading is necessary to provide parking improvements and walkways on less than one-third of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would result in minimal alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation. The proposed project meets the criteria for an exemption under CEQA Guidelines § 15304.
