The entire ARTIC Mixed-Use District shall be designed to
be ADA accessible.
Disabled access ramps greater than 5% slope and
requiring handrails should be treated as an extension
of the public walk, or be integrated into a wall system
that is consistent with the architectural character of the
building.
Wheelchair lifts shall be incorporated into the building’s
architectural design. Lifts should be screened from direct
public view and be painted in a color that is compatible
with the building.
Wall surfaces should be varied and interesting, rather
than unbroken and monolithic. Where long walls are
necessary, consider using changes in materials, texture,
artwork or glass to provide visual interest.
Reduce energy consumption by encouraging building
design that exceeds Title 24 building standards for
energy.
Encourage building design that exceeds Uniform
Plumbing Code standards to help reduce maintenance
and lifecycle costs.
Durable materials that reflect the timeless design of the buildings

5 • Urban / Building Form
Supply renewable energy to building facilities through
Anaheim’s Green Power Program to help reduce the
development’s environmental impact.
Sky Gardens are strongly encouraged. Provide at least
one such outdoor common space for each residential
building. Locate sky gardens at the top zone/penthouse
of the building or above the pedestal zone to further
break up the massing at the top. The sky gardens should
face primarily south, with east and west exposures; north
exposure is discouraged. Provide trellises as a shading
devise for the sky gardens, in a manner complementary
with the building design and similar in character to the
trellises or pergolas at the base.

Use durable materials such as concrete, metal, masonry,
stone, glass and tile on buildings within the ARTIC Mixed-
Use District.
Materials such as wood, composite stucco and plaster
may be used on smaller or accessory buildings, as
long as the buildings are compatible with the primary
structures.
Consider using materials in new and innovative ways.
