Parking facilities
A detailed description of the ARTIC Transit Center facilities
and services is provided in the ARTIC Transit Facility and
Parking Description Report, prepared by Carter and Burgess
(dated October 22, 2007).
3.1.2 Mixed-Use Development
A mix of land uses designed to complement and support the
transit center and surrounding local areas will be located
within the ARTIC Mixed-Use District. Potential land uses
may include retail, restaurants/food and beverage uses,
hotels, offices and civic uses.
Incorporating mixed-use development within the ARTIC
Mixed-Use District will help achieve the following:
»
»
»
»
Generate revenues to help finance development and
construction of transportation facilities.
Create day and evening activities to enhance public use,
appeal and safety.
Buffer the transportation intensive uses.
Complement and enhance the surrounding land uses,
including Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center,
existing and future development in The Platinum Triangle,
and the Santa Ana River.
The type, combination and intensity of land uses around
the ARTIC Transit Center will have a direct influence on the
success of the project. Locating uses that are more intense
at one location close to the Transit Center will attract a
higher percentage of riders throughout the day and/or
allow people to perform multiple tasks. This will greatly

enhance the level and frequency of services that can be
provided and the efficiency of the transit system.
The Conceptual Urban Design Framework Diagram
provided herein illustrates the conceptual locations of key
gateways, plazas, open space, pedestrian connections, and
development zones of varying intensities within the ARTIC
Mixed-Use District. The ultimate location, design and
layout of these components will be determined by OCTA,
the City of Anaheim and the private developer(s).
