is necessary to provide for flexibility to respond to necessary
changes in design and architecture, programmatic elements,
phasing, market conditions and funding availability. Such
flexibility will help facilitate and support the mix of uses
planned for near term and future development on-site.
In addition, the ARTIC Mixed-Use District should be
designed with functional flexibility. Civic spaces such as
the Grand Plaza and the pedestrian/bus plaza should be
designed to accommodate a mix of different uses and
program elements. Parking for the Transit Center should
be designed to allow for shared use with other uses on
and adjacent to the site. This will allow for the maximum
efficiency of its parking facilities.
5.3 Station Integration

incorporate features and attributes intended to ensure

The ARTIC Mixed-Use District will function as a fullyintegrated
complex with a mix of premier transit services,
retail, civic, office and possibly other synergistic uses.
Users should be able to flow from one use to the next
seamlessly, in both horizontal and vertical directions.
5.4 Building Setbacks
Conceptual development envelopes have been crafted
to create high density development that preserve views,
provide human scale and maintain access to sunlight from
the streets, sidewalks, open space and land uses. Building
development within the ARTIC Mixed-Use District shall
follow the criteria established below:
