limits. Anaheim is an employment and entertainment hub
for Orange County and the growing Inland Empire, and
a major draw for Southern California tourism. The City
is located close to four airports, including Los Angeles
International Airport (37 miles), Ontario International
Airport (34 miles), John Wayne Airport (15 miles) and Long
Beach Airport (22 miles).
Anaheim hosts more than 20 million visitors annually. It is
home to The Disneyland Resort, the Anaheim Convention
Center (the largest convention center on the West Coast),
The Anaheim Resort, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda
Center and The Platinum Triangle.
In December 2006, the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) purchased 13.5 acres of the 15.7-acre
ARTIC Mixed-Use District, with plans to relocate the existing
Metrolink station and create a gateway transportation
center. The property was joined with 2.2 acres owned by
the City of Anaheim, adjacent to the existing Metrolink
railroad right-of-way owned by the OCTA.

Policies and Documents
The following policies and documents apply to the design,
development and implementation of the ARTIC Mixed-Use
District:
1.4.1 The Platinum Triangle
Master Land Use Plan

regulated through the Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use Overlay
Zone.
1.4.2 Platinum Triangle Mixed-

The Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone
(Chapter 18.20 of the Anaheim Municipal Code) exists
to guide development projects combining residential with

services, public spaces, and other community amenities,
within The Platinum Triangle designated as Mixed-Use

includes land use regulations, development standards and
implementation to ensure that development projects meet
the objectives of the PTMU Overlay Zone and conform to
the policy direction of the City of Anaheim General Plan.
1.4.3 ARTIC Project Concept
Report (May 24, 2007)
OCTA and the City of Anaheim collaborated on the
effort to define ARTIC goals, transportation facility needs,
implementation, and development strategy. In addition,
OCTA has identified the operational, engineering and
functional constraints and opportunities of the ARTIC site
for transportation purposes. On May 24, 2007, OCTA
and the City approved a Project Concept Report for ARTIC,
which summarized a phased 20-year ARTIC development
strategy with project build-out estimated to occur in
approximately 2030.
