Anaheim Real Estate Partners, LLC, is the owner and developer of the proposed ocV!BE development project.

Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for Right-of-Way Services for the Northbound SR-57 Ramp to Katella and the Southbound SR-57 Off- Ramp to Ball Road as Part of the Proposed ocV!BE Development Project May 12, 2026
The development project was approved by City Council on September 27, 2022, in conjunction with General Plan Amendment No. 2020-00532, Addendum No. 11 to Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 339 (FSEIR No. 339), Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 383 (MMP No. 383), and Development Agreement No. 2020-00004, to allow for the development of the proposed ocV!BE mixed-use project consisting of up to 1,922,776 square feet (s.f.) of commercial uses, 961,055 s.f. of office uses, 250,000 s.f. of institutional uses, 1,500 residential units, public and private parks, and a network of public and private streets.
As part of the development, the Project proposes changes to the roadway network around and within the Project Site, including improvements at the northbound SR-57/Katella off-ramp and southbound SR-57/Ball Road off-ramp.
A cooperative agreement between the City and Caltrans is required for the design and right-of- way services and coordination required between the City and Caltrans.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The developer will deposit $225,000 into a Public Works Developer Trust Account to fund the Caltrans invoices related to the right-of-way services. The design agreement does not include funding. Each party will bear its own costs, with the developer responsible for reimbursing the City for any City-incurred expenses.
Respectfully submitted,
