ARTIC Mixed-Use District Conceptual ... - City of Anaheim

3.1 ARTIC Mixed-Use
District Description
The ARTIC Mixed-Use District is a 15.7-acre site envisioned
for mixed-use development and a “state-of-the-art,”
showcase transit center that will connect Orange County
to other areas in California and the United States and to
international destinations. As an “airport without runways,”
the ARTIC Transit Center will offer convenient travel via
trains, high speed rail, buses, taxis, automobiles and other
local transit. By serving as a gateway to the world, the
ARTIC Transit Center will ease the demand for local and
regional airport expansion.
The ARTIC Mixed-Use District is envisioned as a civic and
regional landmark, proposed to be built in a phased, 20year
effort. Development of the ARTIC Mixed-Use District
will include joint development and other private-sector costsharing
and/or revenue-sharing arrangements.
The access and activity generated by local and regional
transportation significantly enhances the ARTIC Mixed-Use
District’s development potential. In addition to the Transit
Center, the ARTIC Mixed-Use District will include a mix of
land uses designed to complement and support ARTIC and
the local Platinum Triangle area. The mixed-use component
is intended to be an integrated and architecturally cohesive
development that promotes a sustainable, pedestrianoriented
environment. A series of public spaces will be
located throughout the ARTIC Mixed-Use District. These
public spaces will be designed to accommodate civic
functions, social events and recreational activities, as well
as enhance pedestrian connections and circulation. A
description of these components is included below.
