.010   Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "PTMU Overlay Zone") to provide opportunities for well-designed development projects that combine residential with non-residential uses, including office, retail, business services, personal services, public spaces and uses, and other community amenities within the portions of the Platinum Triangle designated with the Mixed-Use Urban Core, Mixed-Use Medium, Office High and Office Low land use designations in the City of Anaheim General Plan, and consistent with the policy direction in the General Plan.

   .020   Objectives. The PTMU Overlay Zone has the following major objectives:

      .0201   Create a unique integrated, walkable urban environment that encourages pedestrian activity and reduces dependence on the automobile for everyday needs, through a streetscape that is connected, attractive, safe and engaging.

      .0202   Develop an overall urban design framework to ensure that the appearance and effects of buildings, improvements, and uses are harmonious with the character of the area in which they are located.

      .0203   Encourage compatibility between residential, office, commercial and sports entertainment uses.

      .0204   Reinforce Transit Oriented Development (TOD) opportunities around the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) stations.

      .0205   Maintain and enhance connectivity and linkages with convenience services, dining, retail and recreation facilities within walking distance, by providing ground floor commercial uses in key locations.

      .0206   Provide a mix of housing types.

      .0207   Create great long-lasting neighborhoods that maintain value through buildings with architectural qualities that create attractive street scenes.

      .0208   Provide a variety of open space, including private, recreational-leisure areas and public parks.

      .0209   Create a balance of landscape and architecture by providing sufficient planting space.

      .0210   Encourage parking solutions that are incentives for creative planning and sustainable neighborhood design.

      .0211   Stimulate market-driven development investment.
