A major objective of the Transit Master Plan was to define transit services to improve connectivity to the Metrolink stations at the future Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) – to be located near the Honda Center and Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and the Anaheim Canyon Station, located at Tustin and La Palma Avenues. The Anaheim Canyon Station is located in one of the largest employment centers in Orange County for industrial, research & development, and technology activity, the Anaheim Canyon Business Center. More than 2,600 companies are located in “The Canyon”. There are a number of interesting private development projects being planned near the station that provide an opportunity to better integrate the facility with its surroundings. These projects are mixed use in nature and oriented towards the transit station. The planned Kaiser Hospital to the west will also provide an opportunity to connect an important use to Metrolink. The Anaheim Canyon Station Master Site Plan is the initial step in positioning the station to accommodate increased Metrolink service and be the hub of the transformation in land uses and development intensities that is occurring in the station area. It will serve as an anchor in the neighborhood by introducing new pedestrian access opportunities to the station that will allow it to become better integrated with its surrounding land uses, further encouraging transit-oriented development while at the same time improving the functional aspects of the station and enticing people to use Metrolink and public transit for both commuter and leisure trips. Current Transit Service The station provides the only Metrolink stop on the Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC) Line in the City of Anaheim, with eight westbound trains (to Oceanside) and eight eastbound trains (to San Bernardino) on weekdays, and three westbound trains and three eastbound trains on the weekend. It is considered a destination station as the number of boardings are relatively low with approximately 30 boardings during the peak AM period, and between 47 and 67 total boardings southbound per day during the week. Approximately 300 passengers get off the train during the same period. Connecting OCTA bus transit service is provided to the Anaheim Canyon Station via three local routes, one community route, one intra-community route, and two Station Link Routes as follows: TYPE ROUTE NUMBER ROUTE NAME / DESCRIPTION 24 Fullerton – Orange via Malvern Ave./Chapman Ave./Tustin Ave. 38 Lakewood – Anaheim Hills via La Palma Ave./Del Amo Blvd. Local Routes 71 Yorba Linda – Balboa via Tustin Ave./Red Hill Ave./Newport Blvd. Community Route 167 Anaheim – Irvine via Santiago Blvd./Hewes St./Bryan Ave. Intra-Community Route 213 Brea – Irvine Express 410 Anaheim Canyon Station – Anaheim via Tustin Ave./La Palma Ave. Station Link 411 Anaheim Canyon Station – Canyon Corporate ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park ES-2 Center via Coronado St./La Palma Ave. Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) shuttle service to Downtown Anaheim is also provided from the station and is operated by the Anaheim Transportation Network. Future Transit Service The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operates the Metrolink system. The Board approved the Metrolink Commuter Rail Strategic Assessment Report in January 2007, which considered options for long-term growth and a conceptual plan for the future Metrolink system through 2030. More detailed planning will take place to determine the physical and fiscal needs and to identify an implementation to phase in improvements; however, it is known that longer trains are anticipated which has resulted in a new design standard for platform of 680 feet. The OCTA also prepared a Commuter Rail Strategic Assessment in 2005, which makes recommendations on increased service levels. The OCTA Board has adopted service levels of 18 trains per day in 2010, whereas SCRRA is recommending 20 trains per day. This would potentially increase to 24 trains per day in 2015 according to the SCRRA Strategic Assessment. By 2030, a weekday service level of between 28 and 40 trains on the IEOC Line is being proposed, which would mean frequencies of around 30 minutes during the peak. In addition to continuing the downtown shuttles, two additional Station Link feeder routes have been proposed in the Anaheim Transit Master Plan1 to improve service coverage between Anaheim Canyon Station and businesses in The Canyon, and in anticipation of additional demand expected with ridership increases with future Metrolink service expansions. Station Area Demographics and Transit Oriented Development The Anaheim Canyon Station is surrounded by a mix of commercial and industrial uses – including the Pacificenter property to the east which is developed with office, retail, fast food restaurant, warehouse, an Extended Stay America hotel and the Expo Design Center. To the west of the station, a number of low-rise buildings are located on either side of Grove Street undertaking a variety of industrial-related service activities, at varying scales. The largest of these operations is located immediately to the west of the station – a 121,239-square foot manufacturing and warehouse distribution facility occupied by Storopack. This site will be redeveloped as a transit-oriented development known as “The Crossing at Anaheim”, which is discussed further below. While there is currently little in the way of residential population in the station area, by 2030, there will be more than 900 dwelling units within a ½ mile radius, which will potentially house 997 residents. This accounts for additional population that could potentially be added as a result of a full redevelopment of the Mixed Use zone adjacent to the west of the station along Grove Street, and the realization of a true transit oriented development district. The potential for further residential infill development also exists on the Pacificenter site which the owner is currently considering; however, this will require a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. While the Anaheim Canyon Station serves currently as a commuter rail stop with little relationship to its surroundings, there are several factors at work in the neighborhood that will provide the impetus for the station to also serve as a focal point in The Canyon and a connection between the PacifiCenter on the east and planned developments on the west side of the rail corridor. The area currently lacks a cohesive pedestrian realm and the proposed station plan will allow the area to 1 City of Anaheim Transit Master Plan (December 2007). ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park ES-3 be activated by encouraging walking through more direct routes that bridge the gap between the east and west side of the rail corridor. It is noteworthy that the development community has recognized that the station is an asset to the neighborhood and is responding by advancing plans for transit oriented development and other types of uses that will encourage Metrolink use and likely spawn further developments in the area. These projects include: • Kaiser Permanente (1.3 million square feet of hospital and medical office uses) • The Crossing at Anaheim (312 residential units immediately to the west of the station) • PacifiCenter (conceptual planning efforts underway for a intensification of mixed-use development) • Grove Street properties (proactive discussions are occurring between landowners for a potential transit oriented development to complete the transformation within the mixed use zone to the west of the station). Stakeholder Consultation Extensive stakeholder consultation occurred during the preliminary conceptual planning phase of the study. Input from Metrolink riders who use the Anaheim Canyon Station was obtained during an intercept survey conducted on April 18, 2007. Rider preferences for station improvements indicated a desire for improved shelters that would better weather protection, better security, and better connections to Anaheim Canyon businesses. Several meetings were help during the development of conceptual plans with City Council Members; inter-departmental meetings at the City of Anaheim which included staff from the Public Works, Planning, Public Utilities and Community Development Departments; Metrolink and OCTA. The City of Anaheim also met with several of the landowners in the area to discuss the station planning efforts including: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Diverse Holdings Company, Sares-Regis, WCB Properties, Boeing and all of the property owners along Grove Street. Station Elements The Anaheim Canyon Station will be a multi-modal transit center that will accommodate the Metrolink commuter rail service, OCTA Express and Local Bus service, Station Link shuttle service and Anaheim Resort Transit. A number of key elements are needed at the station including: ƒ Two side platforms which will be designed to the new Metrolink standard of 680 feet in length and also leave room for the possibility to expand to 850 feet in the future, should the need arise to accommodate longer trains; ƒ A pedestrian undercrossing that allows passengers to safely access both of the side platforms and additionally to provide improved pedestrian linkages in the transit oriented development opportunity area; ƒ Four bus bays in front of the station that provide for convenient transit pick-up and drop- off through direct access to the station plaza on the west side of the right-of-way; ƒ Four “kiss-and-ride” bays will allow for passenger pick-up and drop-off close to the pedestrian crossing; ƒ Approximately 100 parking spaces to be located in a shared parking structure close to the transit plaza; ƒ A pedestrian mall connecting the west side of the station pedestrian crossing to the Kaiser Permanente healing garden and emergency entrance; and ƒ Enhanced station shelters, benches, and other furniture. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park ES-4 Preliminary station concepts were developed on the basis of the recommended station components. Two station concepts were developed, with the primary difference between them being the manner in which station passengers would have access to both of the side platforms. As walking across the tracks is not an option, the only two ways to achieve access would be by using either an overpass or an underpass. Station Vision and Master Site Plan The vision for Anaheim Canyon Station is to create an environment that honors the status of the Metrolink commuter rail system at the top of the public transit hierarchy in Orange County, by making it an integral part of the Anaheim Canyon Business Center, as contemplated in the Northeast Specific Plan. The station will be an essential element in the continued economic growth in Anaheim by providing efficient commuter rail service that is connected to area businesses via other public transportation modes and new pedestrian linkages. It will be the centerpiece of a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented transit village and serve to unify the individual development projects in the area so that they function as a neighborhood, rather than isolated enclaves. The Anaheim Canyon Station will be the secondary intermodal transit center in the City of Anaheim, after the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), providing Metrolink commuter rail service, access to the future OCTA bus rapid transit (BRT) line on La Palma Avenue, local and community bus routes, Station Link and ART service. The site plan for the preferred underpass option is shown on Exhibit ES-1. A 3D rendering of the station is provided in Exhibit ES-2. Building off the axis of the healing gardens at the proposed Kaiser facility, a pedestrian mall traverses the Grove Street properties, transitions into an underpass beneath the railroad tracks, and comes up into a pedestrian and transit plaza that feeds into the Pacificenter site. This combination of elements provides a continuous pedestrian corridor through the neighborhood. Branching off of this central path are sidewalks and urban landscaping that will allow for clear pedestrian access and navigation throughout the area, and make for strong connections to existing and future development at adjacent sites. The design of the underpass is a key element in creating a continuous experience along the corridor, as is further illustrated in Exhibit ES-3. Keeping the underpass wide and using shallow grades to change elevation creates a natural transition from one side of the tracks to the other. By minimizing overhead structure, stepping back the retaining walls, and landscaping throughout the design of the underpass allows for natural light penetration as well as increased safety through casual surveillance. The transit facilities are built on the existing right-of-way to the greatest extent possible. The bus drop-off, Park & Ride, and “Kiss & Ride” facilities are located on the Pacificenter site for easy access from La Palma Avenue and Tustin Avenue. The underpass provides access between the transit plaza, platforms, and the surrounding neighborhood, with both stairs and ramps making the transition between existing grade and the platforms. Ticket vending and validation is provided on both sides of the tracks at the south end of the platform. From there, patrons would proceed up to the appropriate platform. Canopies and screening will be designed to provide rain, solar, and wind protection without significantly encumbering casual surveillance or impeding movement on the platform. Amenities should include individual seating, trash receptacles, station identification and wayfinding signage, lighting, tactile warning strips, and raised wheelchair platforms. Preliminary Cost Estimate Preliminary cost estimates have been prepared for the Anaheim Canyon Station master site plan for both the construction and the right-of-way land components for the overpass and the underpass options. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park ES-5 A comparison of cost estimates for the two options is as follows: Description Overpass Option Underpass Option Phase 1 - Total Construction and Project Costs $13,870,057 Phase 2 - Total Construction and Project Costs $4,660,521 Total Land Cost $2,025,000 $2,175,000 TOTAL $18,161,157 $20,705,578 Estimated Additional Metrolink Off-site Costs 1 $5,339,048 $6,839,048 1. Metrolink costs would be for track, concrete panels (LaPalma Avenue crossing), turn outs and control points. Both of these options assume a pedestrian mall that is 40’ wide on the west side of the tracks leading over to the proposed Kaiser Hospital. Right-of-way requirements are higher for the underpass option in order to accommodate the ramping system that would eliminate the need for elevators. Phasing The preferred alternative is the underpass option. The station would be constructed in two major phases as follows: Phase 1. This would involve construction of the underpass, improvements to the existing platform, construction of the pedestrian mall, and the bus / shuttle pull-out area. Exhibit ES-4 illustrates the area to be constructed in Phase 1. It may be possible to further break down this phase so begin with platform improvements in Phase 1A and construct the underpass and pedestrian mall in Phase 1B. The next phase of study will analyze in detail as to whether there is any benefit to such an approach. Phase 2. The second track and second platform would be implemented, as indicated in Exhibit ES-5. The phasing schedule and cost estimates will be further refined in the Project Study Report (PSR) to be prepared in 2008. Implementation Strategy A comprehensive approach is needed in order to implement the Anaheim Canyon Station Master Site Plan that includes working closely with the landowners in the area along with the continued participation of both Metrolink and the Orange County Transportation Authority during the detailed design process. A detailed Action Plan is contained in the full report. The City of Anaheim will work with OCTA to identify funding opportunities for capital improvements. Adding track capacity would open up funding options that might not otherwise be available. A commitment would be required from Metrolink to fund capital improvements related to track and signal. Federal funding is available through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) for the pedestrian mall component of the master site plan. The City of Anaheim has discussed the $16,136,157 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park ES-6 project with EDA and has been invited to submit an application for EDA grant funding – as strong pedestrian linkages to the Metrolink station are essential to the economic competitiveness of the Anaheim Canyon Business Center, particularly to the Kaiser Hospital, as many workers will be transit riders. Approximately $2 million in City of Anaheim funding will be made available to the project through the infrastructure improvement fund related to the Kaiser Hospital development. Other funding availability will also need to be explored. It is recommended that, as a next step, the City of Anaheim should prepare a Project Study Report (PSR) that will describe the project and prepare more detailed cost estimates for the purposes of determining eligibility for state and federal funding. The PSR should also identify the type of environmental documentation that will be required for the project along with any other related technical studies. A schedule will also need to be developed for the PSR that contains milestones related to: environmental studies and permits; plans, specifications and estimates; right-of-way acquisition; and construction. Proposed funding sources for the project will also need to be identified in the report. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Underpass Option – Site Plan TRANSIT PLAZA 15,500 SF PEDESTRIAN MALL 25,000 SF BUS/KISS & RIDE BAY 3,000 SF TOTAL 43,500 SF PARKING 100 STALLS Exhibit ES-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim 3D Rendering Exhibit ES-2 Looking West from Transit Plaza View Looking Northwest ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim 3D Rendering Exhibit ES-3 Looking East from Grove Street Looking Northeast from Pedestrian Promenade ---PAGE BREAK--- Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Phasing Plan / Phase I TRANSIT PLAZA 15,500 SF PEDESTRIAN MALL 25,000 SF BUS/KISS & RIDE BAY 3,000 SF TOTAL 43,500 SF PARKING 100 STALLS Exhibit ES-4 Go Local Anaheim Study September 2007 ---PAGE BREAK--- Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Phasing Plan / Phase II Exhibit ES-5 Go Local Anaheim Study September 2007 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 1 SECTION A: INTRODUCTION The Anaheim Canyon Station is located in one of the most important employment centers in Orange County. It provides the only Metrolink stop on the Inland Empire-Orange County Line in the City of Anaheim, and also is served by two Station Link feeder bus services operated by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) Shuttle service to Downtown Anaheim is also provided from the station and is operated by the Anaheim Transportation Network. While the area has been relatively stable in recent years in terms of population and employment growth, there are a number of interesting private development projects being planned that provide an opportunity for the station to become better integrated with its surroundings and add to the regional competitiveness of Anaheim Canyon Business Center “The Canyon” as a place to do business and also to live. These projects are oriented towards the transit station and the proposed Kaiser Hospital to the west will also provide an opportunity to connect an important use to public transit. Metrolink is strategically thinking about increased commuter rail service in the coming years, having recently completed a strategic assessment that will potentially more than double the number of trains arriving and departing from the station on weekdays. This will undoubtedly increase the profile of the station and the role that it plays in the surrounding community. With all of this in mind, the City of Anaheim initiated a master plan study of the Anaheim Canyon Station to establish the overall design framework for the future expansion of the station. This study was undertaken in coordination with other private planning efforts on nearby properties, with a view to improved functionality from a transit perspective and to contributing to the future livability of the area. In addition to this introduction, the report is divided into six sections as follows: • Existing Conditions • Planned Land Uses and Metrolink Services • Station Elements • Preliminary Conceptual Plan Development • Station Vision and Master Site Plan • Implementation Strategy ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 2 SECTION B: EXISTING CONDITIONS B.1 ANAHEIM CANYON STATION The Anaheim Canyon station is located at 1039 N. Pacificenter Drive in the northeast part of the City of Anaheim in an area commonly known as “The Canyon”. It is situated along the western edge of the Pacificenter project in the southwest quadrant of Tustin and La Palma Avenues. A station vicinity map is provided in Exhibit 1. Photos of the existing station are shown on Exhibit 2.The station currently has a single side platform and a single rail track along the eastern edge of the 100-foot wide Olive Subdivision rail right-of-way, which is owned by OCTA. The platform is accessed by both stairs and a ramp. Ticket vending machines are in a central location on the platform. There is a series of waiting areas with benches along the platform that are covered by metal canopies. Existing passenger rail service is provided by the Metrolink Inland Empire - Orange County (IEOC) line, with eight westbound trains (to Oceanside) and eight eastbound trains (to San Bernardino) on weekdays, and three westbound trains and three eastbound trains on the weekend. The Metrolink system map is illustrated on Exhibit 3. Exhibit 4 depicts the existing bus route alignments. Connecting OCTA bus transit service is provided to the Anaheim Canyon Station via three local routes, one community route, one intra- community route, and two Station Link routes as follows: TYPE ROUTE NUMBER ROUTE NAME / DESCRIPTION 24 Fullerton – Orange via Malvern Ave./Chapman Ave./Tustin Ave. 38 Lakewood – Anaheim Hills via La Palma Ave./Del Amo Blvd. Local Routes 71 Yorba Linda – Balboa via Tustin Ave./Red Hill Ave./Newport Blvd. Community Route 167 Anaheim – Irvine via Santiago Blvd./Hewes St./Bryan Ave. Intra-Community Route 213 Brea – Irvine Express 410 Anaheim Canyon Station – Anaheim via Tustin Ave./La Palma Ave. Station Link 411 Anaheim Canyon Station – Canyon Corporate Center via Coronado St./La Palma Ave. A parking lot containing 50 spaces reserved to Metrolink passengers is located on the northwest corner of the Pacificenter property. Another 50 spaces are available in a shared lot with the existing office building to the south of the reserved parking lot. There is no charge for parking at the present time. Vehicular access to the station occurs either from La Palma Avenue at N. Pacificenter Drive, which is a signalized intersection; or from Tustin Avenue and N. Pacificenter Drive, which is also signalized and provides access to the Riverside (SR-91) Freeway. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study May 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Anaheim Canyon Station Location 57 91 91 LA PALMA AVENUE MIRALOMA AVENUE KRAEMER BOULEVARD LA PALMA AVENUE ORANGETHORPE AVENUE TU ST I N A V E N U E METROLINK Anaheim Canyon Station Exhibit 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Anaheim Canyon Station – Existing Conditions Exhibit 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Exhibit 3 ORANGE RIVERSIDE SAN BERNARDINO LOS ANGELES San Clemente San Juan Capistrano Irvine Santa Ana Anaheim Fullerton Los Angeles Union Station Tustin Orange Anaheim Canyon N.

In addition to citywide goals and policies, there are several community policy areas for which more targeted goals and policies are identified specific to that particular neighborhood or district. “The Canyon” is one such area and includes the 2,450-acre business center along the north side of the Riverside (SR-91) Freeway, between Imperial Highway and the Orange (57) Freeway, south of Orangethorpe Avenue and the Metrolink corridor. Goal 16.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element is to: Preserve and project the image of “The Canyon” as one of the most prominent business centers in Orange County. Policies related to that goal encourage intensification of land uses close to the Metrolink station; intensification of office uses along the south side of La Palma Avenue; and facilitation of a dynamic mix of uses in the area. Also relevant to the Anaheim Canyon station is the identification on the General Plan Land Use Plan of a mixed-use node on the parcels adjacent to the west of the station and a non-residential mixed-use node on the north side of La Palma Avenue on either side of the rail corridor. General Plan land uses in the area are shown on Exhibit 5. The Mixed-Use designation is intended to encourage transit oriented, pedestrian friendly development patterns in this location. It allows for a broad range of integrated land uses including retail, service, entertainment, office and residential of up to 100 dwelling units/acre and a maximum FAR of 3.0. The Non-Residential Mixed-Use designation is limited to the Northeast Area Specific Plan area, and is intended to spur a mix of commercial and office uses up to a maximum FAR of 3.0. The Pacificenter site itself is designated as General Commercial in the City of Anaheim General Plan. The General Commercial designation is implemented through the C-G Zone and allows a variety of retail uses that may be auto-oriented, highway-serving, banks, civic uses, and office uses. The maximum permitted density in the C-G zone is 0.5 FAR. Implementing zoning in the station area is by two specific plans: Specific Plan 88-3 (Pacificenter Anaheim Specific Plan) and Specific Plan 94-1 (Northeast Area Specific Plan). The Pacificenter Anaheim Specific Plan SP-88-3 (Chapter 18.106 of the Zoning Code) was approved by City Council in 1989 and reclassified approximately 26 acres bounded by La Palma Avenue, Tustin Avenue, the rail corridor and the Riverside (SR-91) Freeway. The specific plan was subsequently amended to add certain uses as permitted uses and to allow for the development of a mixed-use commercial center. It allows for a mixed-use development of approximately 500,000 square feet of industrially-related office space; 24,000 square feet of industrially-related commercial use; 8,000 square feet of restaurant space; a 150-room hotel and associated parking. The site and vicinity are also within Development Area 5 (Commercial) of the Northeast Area Specific Plan (SP-94-1). The Northeast Area Specific Plan (SP-94-1) (Chapter 18.120 of the Zoning Code) covers approximately 2,645 acres in Santa Ana Canyon between Anaheim Hills to the east and downtown Anaheim to the west. It was implemented in order to encourage redevelopment and a better mix of land uses in the area through a distinctive public realm and pedestrian-oriented environment. A further goal was to ensure a coordinated planning effort to facilitate a successful Redevelopment Project Alpha. It allows for a total buildout of 29.3 million square feet through a combination of new development and the redevelopment of existing properties. The Transit Core Area in the Northeast Area Specific Plan provides for a mix of uses that are appropriate to maximizing the transit-oriented development potential next to the Anaheim Canyon station. This is reflected in the Mixed-Use General Plan designation on the adjacent properties to the west of the station. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim LA PALMA AVE MIRALOMA AVE TUSTIN AVE IMPERIAL HWY ORANGETHORPE AVE RIVERDALE AVE MILLER ST LAKEVIEW AVE KRAEMER BLVD N O H L R A N C H R D BLUE GUM ST FR O NT ERA S T KELL OG G DR CROWTHER AVE RIO VISTA ST JEFFERSON ST GLASSELL ST ROYAL OAK RD YORBA LINDA FWY RICHFIELD RD SANTA ANA CANYON RD ORANGETHORPE AVE KELLOGG DR 2413 Anaheim Canyon Station Anaheim Canyon Business Area Anaheim City Boundary General Plan Land Use Commercial General Commercial Office Office-Low Other Mixed-Use Non-Residential Mixed-Use Industrial Institutional Parks Water Railroad Map Location City of Anaheim Planning GIS January 11, 2007 0 1,500 3,000 Feet 55 FREEWAY Exhibit 5 General Plan Land Use Designations ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 8 B.3 STATION AREA DEMOGRAPHICS Demographic information related to housing units, population and employment for the years 2005 and projected to 2030 is provided in Appendix A. It reflects the nature of The Canyon as primarily that of an employment center which currently has only minimal residential population. Within the 1/2-mile radius of the station, City of Anaheim data indicates that for 2005, there were 19 housing units which are projected to increase to 954 units in 2030, for an average annual growth rate of 17%. In 2005, 858 housing units were found in the 1-mile radius of the station and are estimated to increase 3.7% annually to 2,105 units by 2030. The housing units located within the 2-mile radius of the station were 6,226 in 2005 and are predicted to increase at an annual rate of 0.9% to reach 7,838 by 2030. Housing density is graphically depicted in Exhibit 6. The 2005 population is 58 within a ½-mile of the station and is estimated to increase to 997 residents by 2030, at the rate of 12% annually. This accounts for additional population that could potentially be added as a result of a full redevelopment of the Mixed Use zone adjacent to the west of the station along Grove Street, and the realization of a true transit oriented development district. The potential for further residential infill development also exists on the Pacificenter site which the owner is currently contemplating; however, this will require a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. Within the 1-mile radius, the 2005 population of 2,886 is projected to increase 1.7% to reach 4,391 by 2030. In 2005, 19,930 people were found within the 2-mile radius of the station and the population is estimated to reach 23,506 by 2030, an annual growth rate of 0.7%. Population density is shown in Exhibit 7. Employment within the ½-mile of the station was 6,170 in 2005 and is predicted to increase at an annual rate of 1.6% to reach 9,079 in 2030. The 2005 employment is 28,352 within the 1-mile radius of the station and is estimated to increase at a rate of 1.0% annually to provide 36,506 jobs. Within the 2-mile radius, the data indicates for the year 2005, 77,989 jobs which are projected to increase to 91,441 by 2030, a modest growth rate of 0.6%. Employment density is illustrated in Exhibit 8. B.4 SURROUNDING LAND USES The Anaheim Canyon Station is surrounded by a mix of commercial and industrial uses which comprise the Anaheim Canyon Business Center. Some 2,600 businesses are located in “The Canyon” which is one of the largest employment hubs for industrial, research & development, and technology in Orange County. Exhibit 9 provides a photo montage of some of the surrounding land uses. To the east of the station, the Pacificenter site has been developed with a number of different uses including: the 98,000-square foot Fremont office building, 23,800 square feet of retail uses, a free-standing 4,000-square foot Carl’s Jr. restaurant, a free-standing Taco Bell restaurant, 20,000 square feet of warehouse space, an Extended Stay America hotel, and the Expo Design Center – a large-format furniture / home improvement store. To the west of the station, a number of low-rise buildings are located on either side of Grove Street undertaking a variety of industrial-related service activities, at varying scales. The largest of these operations is located immediately to the west of the station - a 121,239-square foot manufacturing and warehouse distribution facility occupied by Storopack. This site will be redeveloped as a transit oriented development known as “The Crossing at Anaheim”, which is discussed further in Section C.1 of this report. Industrial office and light manufacturing / warehousing uses are also located on the north side of La Palma Avenue. Commercial uses exist along the east side of Tustin Avenue and on the northwest corner of the La Palma and Tustin Avenue intersection. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink

of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Neighborhood Character Exhibit 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 13 SECTION C: PLANNED LAND USES AND METROLINK SERVICES C.1 TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY The Anaheim Canyon station serves currently as a commuter rail stop that has little relationship to its surroundings. There are several factors at work in the neighborhood that will provide the impetus for the station to also serve as a focal point in The Canyon and a connection between the PacifiCenter site on the east and planned developments on the west side of the rail corridor. The area currently lacks a cohesive pedestrian realm and the proposed station plan will allow the area to be activated by encouraging walking through more direct routes that bridge the gap between the east and west side of the rail corridor. The development community has recognized that the Anaheim Canyon station is an asset to the neighborhood and has responded by advancing plans for transit oriented development and other types of uses that will encourage Metrolink use and likely spawn further redevelopment in the area. Exhibit 10 provides a summary of the major planned developments in The Canyon. The Crossing at Anaheim was approved earlier in 2007 and is the first transit oriented development contemplated for the mixed-use zone to the west of the station. The project will be developed on a 5.2-acre site on the south side of La Palma Avenue, between Grove Street and the rail corridor that currently houses the Storopack manufacturing facility. It will include 312 residential condominiums (including 31 live/work units at the ground level), and recreational amenities. Owners of Pacificenter are undertaking conceptual planning efforts to maximize the full development potential of the site by adding a mix of uses including additional office space, retail opportunities next to the station and on the southeast corner of La Palma and Tustin Avenues, and just over 300 residential units. Structured parking would also be developed on the existing Metrolink commuter lot and to the south of the existing Fremont office building. There may be opportunities for shared Metrolink commuter parking within these structures. This project represents a tremendous opportunity to further the transit oriented development initiative in the transit core area contemplated by the Northeast Area Specific Plan and to enhance ridership on Metrolink. It would require discretionary land use approvals including environmental analysis and care should be given to review of the project design to ensure that convenient pedestrian linkages to the station are provided throughout the site. Another significant development in the vicinity is the proposed Kaiser Permanente facility. The project consists of 1.3 million square feet of hospital and medical office uses and will include parking for 3,300 cars. It will be developed in phases over the next 5 to 10 years with the first medical office building of 116,000 square feet targeted to begin construction in 2008. Given the anticipated employment and patient use at the facility, it will be an important generator of transit use and supporter of retail and other services in the station area. The landowners of the remaining properties along Grove Street south of La Palma Avenue (between the Kaiser Permanente site and The Crossing at Anaheim site), are proactively discussing and exploring options for a potential transit oriented development that would complete the transformation of the mixed use zone west of the station, with land uses that are more compatible with the proposed surrounding projects. This would require land assembly in order to design the project as one cohesive master plan, which is something the City of Anaheim supports from a private redevelopment perspective. The alignment of Grove Street is an issue that the City will be investigating further as it has implications for not only the Grove Street properties, but also Kaiser Permanente and The Crossing at Anaheim. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Planned Developments Boeing Realty Corporation • Existing site is 100 acres with 1.8 million square feet • Plan to maintain existing zoning to permit commercial (office industrial R&D with possible retail component) • Plans to sell off individual parcels totalling 14 buildings + 1,514,322 SF on + 99.12 acres 91 91 LA PALMA AVENUE MIRALOMA AVENUE KRAEMER BOULEVARD LA PALMA AVENUE ORANGETHORPE AVENUE TU ST I N A V E N U E METROLINK Anaheim Canyon Station Kaiser Permanente • Developing replacement facility for Lakeview hospital. • 27 acres with 1.3 million square feet including parking for 3,300 cars. • Campus-like setting to be developed in phases over next 5 to 10 years. • First medical office building of 116,000 SF to begin construction in 2008. • 1,200 employees at any given time in the hospital.

There is 1.8 million square feet of existing, non-contiguous building area on the site. Boeing Realty Corporation is overseeing the phased disposition of the property, and plans to maintain existing zoning to allow for commercial office, industrial and R&D space with some retail uses. The property possibly be sold off as a series of smaller parcels to create opportunities for smaller warehousing/production operations in the neighborhood of 30,000 square feet. While the site is beyond a five-minute walking radius from Anaheim Canyon station, it represents an opportunity to provide enhancements to the pedestrian realm in association with any intensification of commercial development that may occur there in the future. Any improvements to the pedestrian environment in The Canyon will serve to reinforce its attractiveness as a place to do business. C.2 EXPANDED METROLINK SERVICES The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operates the Metrolink system. The SCRRA Board approved the Metrolink Commuter Rail Strategic Assessment report in January 2007, which considered options for long-term growth and a conceptual plan for the future Metrolink system through 2030. More detailed planning will take place to determine the physical and fiscal needs and to identify an implementation plan to phase in the improvements. Relevant to the Anaheim Canyon station, are the scenarios that were developed for the Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC) Line, which are summarized in Table 1. Total weekday service, for 2007, is 16 trains a day on the IEOC Line with 8 westbound trains and 8 eastbound trains. The OCTA Board adopted service levels of 18 trains per day in 2010, whereas the SCRRA is recommending 20 trains per day. This would potentially increase to 24 trains per day in 2015, according to the SCRRA Strategic Assessment. OCTA is recommending 18 trains per day in 2015. Numbers for 2020 and 2030 also differ between the OCTA Strategic Assessment and the SCRRA Strategic Assessment. Two scenarios are proposed by SCCRA for both 2020 and 2030. In 2020, Scenario A anticipates a weekday service level of 26 trains on the IEOC Line and Scenario B suggests a service level of 40 trains. The OCTA report proposes 18 trains in 2020. For 2030, Scenario A proposes 28 trains per day whereas Scenario B recommends 40 trains.

A number of key elements form part of the master site plan for the station including: ƒ Two side platforms which will be designed to the new Metrolink standard of 680 feet in length to accommodate 8-car trains and also leave room for the possibility to expand to 850 feet in the future, should the need arise to accommodate longer trains ƒ A pedestrian under crossing that allows passengers to safely access both of the side platforms and additionally to provide improved pedestrian linkages in the transit oriented development opportunity area ƒ Four bus bays in front of the station that provide for convenient transit pick-up and drop- off through direct access to the station plaza on the west side of the right-of-way ƒ Four “kiss-and-ride” bays will allow for passenger pick-up and drop-off close to the pedestrian crossing ƒ Approximately 100 parking spaces to be located in a shared parking structure close to the transit plaza ƒ A pedestrian mall connecting the west side of the station pedestrian crossing to the Kaiser Permanente healing garden and emergency entrance ƒ Enhance station shelters, benches, etc D.1 STATION REQUIREMENTS The Anaheim Canyon Station will be a multi-modal transit center that will accommodate Metrolink commuter rail service, OCTA Express and Load bus service, Station Link shuttle service and Anaheim Resort Transit. A number of key elements are needed at the station including: station platforms, bus bays, “kiss-and-ride” area, a pedestrian crossing and plaza area, parking, and circulation driveways. Station The station does not include an onsite building in the manner of a larger multi-modal station that requires indoor waiting areas and extensive passenger amenities. Retail space is being planned nearby on the Pacificenter property that will provide some neighborhood services with some station-orientation such as cafés and convenience retail. There will be two tracks centered in the existing 100’ right-of-way with two side platforms allowing bi-directional service. To the south of the station, the dual-track configuration will transition back to a single track to cross the railroad bridge over the Riverside (SR-91) Freeway. Space is required for circulation, pedestrian crossing, platform access (stairways and ramps) and transit plaza areas. The transit plaza areas will be at ground level from which pedestrians will access the stairways or ramps that are located on both sides of the station platforms. Other elements which may be provided include furniture (benches, trash receptacles), bike lockers, lighting and decorative landscaping features. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 18 Platform Requirements Two side platforms will be designed to accommodate longer train sets which are contemplated by Metrolink, and require a minimum length of 680 feet. There is sufficient land available to expand to 850 feet in the future, should the need arise, and still meet the required 80-foot setback from La Palma Avenue. The side platform configuration was selected because it allows for train operations in both directions, or for a by-pass if necessary. Further, it eliminates the need to begin separating the tracks further to the north which would pose grade-crossing issues on La Palma Avenue. It also allows for faster station run-through operations for freight trains. Side platforms have stairs and ramp access for both platforms and there are several feet of grade differential between the transit plaza area and the rail corridor, with the tracks and station platforms being elevated above the plaza. Platform shelters are required to provide protection from sun, wind and rain. Other furniture would also be required on the platform for the benefit of passenger comfort and safety including benches and lighting, information kiosks/signage, and ticket vending machines. Pedestrian Crossing Requirements A pedestrian crossing is needed in order to allow passengers to safely access platforms on both sides of the station. This could be accomplished through either an overpass or an underpass. The preference is for a crossing that would eliminate the need to construct elevators as Metrolink and other cities have experienced problems with elevator operations in other locations. Furthermore, the forecasted passenger demand does not warrant an overcrossing. Therefore, the preferred option is for a pedestrian undercrossing. Bus Bay Requirements Bus bays are required for Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Station Link routes 410 and 411. Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) also operates a rail feeder service on weekdays from the station to Downtown Anaheim. The study of Anaheim Canyon Feeder Routes is indicating the need for an additional feeder vehicle service of this location. It is proposed that these be located so that they provide direct access to the transit plaza to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles on the Pacificenter property. There is sufficient area to provide four bus bays parallel to the transit plaza on the east side of the station. “Kiss-and-Ride” Requirements It is recommended that a “kiss-and-ride” area be provided to allow for passengers to be dropped off by automobile. The layout of the station and circulation on the Pacificenter property allow for a “kiss-and-ride” module to be provided in a pull-out configuration adjacent to the transit plaza to the east side of the station. Parking Requirements As discussed in Section C.3 of this report, there is a future need for approximately 100 commuter parking spaces on-site at the Anaheim Canyon station by 2030. It is recommended that this parking be accommodated on the east side of the station area, in close proximity to the station transit plaza. The owners of Pacificenter have prepared preliminary conceptual plans for the intensification of their property, where there are opportunities for station commuter parking to co- locate within planned parking structures next to the station. It is recommended that any commuter parking within shared parking structures be located in spaces reserved specifically for that purpose with accessible parking to be accommodated on the ground level. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 19 SECTION E: PRELIMINARY CONCEPTUAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT E.1 STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS Extensive stakeholder consultation occurred during the development of the preliminary conceptual plan options including: discussions with City Council Members; inter-departmental meetings at the City of Anaheim attended by the Public Works Department, the Planning Department, the Community Development Department, and Public Utilities; and with Metrolink and the Orange County Transportation Authority. The City of Anaheim also met with several of the landowners in the area to discuss the station planning efforts and coordinate with plans under development within the immediate vicinity including: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Diverse Holdings Company, Sares-Regis WCB Properties, Boeing, and all of the property owners along Grove Street. City Council Members During December and January 2007, a series of one-on-one briefing meetings were held with each of the members of the Anaheim City Council in order to kick off the study process with some initial input from the elected officials on their views of the major transportation issues facing the City, their vision of Anaheim’s public transportation system, and direction on issues for further consideration during the study. This input was discussed in more detail in the Transit Vision Report (May 2007). Feedback provided with respect to the Anaheim Canyon Station indicated that there is interest in maximizing the use of this station and in reinforcing its role as the City’s second transit hub. The Council Members expressed a desire for improvements to access and ease of use of this station so that it is better integrated with the community and is used to its full potential. Providing a good circulator system within Anaheim Canyon to better connect places of employment with Metrolink service is desirable. A connection between the Anaheim Canyon station and ARTIC should be analyzed in order to eliminate the need for people to make a transfer at the Orange station. Metrolink (Southern California Regional Railroad Authority) A meeting was held with Metrolink on February 8, 2007, to review some preliminary sketches and confirm the general design direction with Metrolink engineers. It was noted that Metrolink design criteria are being revised but that a platform length of 680 feet would be required at all stations to accommodate 8-car trains. A 500-car parking structure is the general standard for new stations; however, if demand does not warrant this amount of parking, it may not be appropriate for the station location. Metrolink expressed a preference for an undercrossing for pedestrian access to both sides of the station as elevator maintenance issues have become more of a problem for them. The undercrossing would need to be designed so that it is open and provides a sense of security. It was agreed that the technical feasibility of an undercrossing would be investigated. Further input was obtained from Metrolink as the design efforts progressed and it was determined that an undercrossing would be feasible. Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) OCTA provided input during the course of the larger study being undertaken with respect to the Anaheim Transit Master Plan, during the Technical Steering Committee meetings. Two meetings were held with OCTA to specifically review the conceptual plans for the Anaheim Canyon Station, on July 3, 2007 and on August 15, 2007. It was noted by OCTA that the Inland Empire-Orange County Line is the fastest-growing line in the Metrolink network and track capacity is constraining future growth. Better operational capacity is needed along the line and OCTA indicated that a second track and platform at Anaheim Canyon Station would assist in improving operations and avoiding train delays. On additional round-trip and longer, six-car trains are planned to begin operating on the IEOC Line by 2010. Additional trips will be added in 2012- 2013. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 20 WCB Properties On January 26, 2007, City staff met with WCB Properties, the owners of 15 acres of the Pacificenter property, to review preliminary conceptual plans for intensification of development on their land and determine how to best integrate their ideas with the station master plan. Other uses on the Pacificenter property that are not owned by WCB Properties include: Expo Design Center, the Extended Stay America hotel, Carl’s Jr., Taco Bell and the small retail space fronting on Tustin Avenue. WCB Properties currently controls the surface parking lot on the site and an easement is provided to Metrolink for commuter parking lot purposes. Important design considerations from the perspective of WCB include how to make the pedestrian connection across the rail corridor, creating an enticing mixed use development with an energized streetscape, and managing traffic in the area. WCB views the Anaheim Canyon station as being a tremendous benefit to the area and expressed the desire for continued discussions with respect to coordination of the planning efforts for the station and for their property, and the provision of commuter parking as there may be opportunities for shared parking within their planned structures. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan On January 29, 2007, the City of Anaheim met with Kaiser to discuss the station planning efforts and review the plans for the hospital and medical center development. The primary concern that was identified was the need to maintain unrestricted access to the emergency entrance to the hospital for ambulances. The first medical office building will be constructed in 2008 and will open in 2009. This will be followed by two other medical office buildings and the hospital itself will be open in 2012. There are 1,200 employees at the hospital at any give time. It was noted that 20% of hospital employees rideshare or use existing transit, thus, convenient access to the Metrolink station is important for Kaiser. Transit service that is planned in conjunction with shift changes at the hospital would also help to encourage ridership. On April 10, 2007, a second meeting was held with Kaiser to review the preliminary station master plan. The primary issue for Kaiser is the ability to provide emergency vehicular access to the southeast part of their site via Grove Street, where the emergency department for the hospital is planned. Kaiser is also planning to use Grove Street for truck access to the loading dock for the hospital located on the south side of the building. The Grove Street access issue needs to be resolved prior to hospital construction. Further, a large parking structure is planned on the east side of the Kaiser site where a separate driveway is contemplated. There may be opportunities to improve access to this structure with a potential realignment of Grove Street. It may be necessary to realign Grove Street so that it aligns with Grove Street on the north side of La Palma Avenue and can be properly signalized. This could also have implications for properties along Grove Street south of La Palma Avenue. Diverse Holdings Company On January 31, 2007, City staff met with Diverse Holdings Company, the developers of The Crossing at Anaheim, the first transit oriented development that has been approved adjacent to the Anaheim Canyon station. The discussion centered on opportunities to provide pedestrian access between The Crossing development and the station. There is a fire lane proposed along the eastern edge of the project which terminates in a cul-de-sac at the southeast corner. A pedestrian link could occur at the end of this cul-de-sac to the transit plaza / ramp on the west side of the station. Ashwill Associates A meeting was held with Ashwill Associates, owners of some of the Grove Street properties, on February 13, 2007. There is interest among several of the landowners along that street in developing their properties for mixed-use. At the time of the meeting, no conceptual site planning ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 21 had been initiated, and this will be dependent upon the results of further discussions amongst the owners and an agreement on how best to move forward. Issues with respect to station access and circulation to the west of the station were discussed. Critical to the Grove Street properties will be creating an alignment for that street that allows for the maximum developable parcel area and the creation of a project that is viable and well- integrated with its surroundings. E.2 STATION SURVEYS An intercept/windshield survey was undertaken of Metrolink and Amtrak riders at the Anaheim Canyon and the Anaheim Stadium stations on April 18 and 19, 2007. A total of 759 surveys were distributed and 222 surveys were returned, which represents a response rate of 29.2%. A random distribution of surveys occurred each morning from 5:45 to 9:15 a.m. and each evening from 3:30 to 7:20 p.m. The objective of the station surveys was to receive direct feedback from Metrolink and Amtrak riders with respect to overall rider attitudes, preferences for station improvements and new or expanded transit connections to the stations. From the random distribution, 114 surveys were returned at the Anaheim Canyon station and 108 surveys were received back at the Anaheim Stadium station. Some key findings from the survey related to the Anaheim Canyon station are as follows: Transportation to and from the Stations ƒ 36% of respondents at the Anaheim Canyon station get to the station by driving alone. ƒ 30.7% at Anaheim Canyon depart from the station to their final destination in a second car left at the station. ƒ 28% at the Anaheim Canyon station reach their final destination by using a shuttle. ƒ At Anaheim Canyon, 15.8% of respondents either walk or bike to the station. Connections ƒ The most important connection for riders at the Anaheim Canyon station, according to 28% of respondents, is a connection to Anaheim Canyon businesses. Bus Service ƒ A significant percentage from both stations said that they would be influenced in using bus transportation to access Metrolink or Amtrak if the routes were more direct, faster, and there was more frequent service. ƒ 28.9% at the Anaheim Canyon station would take a bus if more direct access or express service was provided. ƒ If the bus service were to be faster, 15.8% at Anaheim Canyon indicated that they would use it. Improved Shelter ƒ There was overwhelming support from 59% of respondents at Anaheim Canyon station, for some type of improved shelter. One rider indicated in their comments that the existing shelter does not provide sufficient protection against wind and rain. Food and Beverage Service ƒ 35.1% of respondents at the station expressed desire for food and beverage service. Waiting and Parking Areas ƒ 37.7% of respondents at the Anaheim Canyon station are interested in seeing improvements to the amount of parking. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 22 ƒ A significant amount of riders, 44.7%, expressed the need for increased seating capacity. Security and Train Information ƒ 22.8% of respondents at Anaheim Canyon would like increased security at the station. ƒ Improved transit information at the station was desired by 20.2% of respondents. E.3 PRELIMINARY STATION CONCEPTS The preliminary station concepts were developed on the basis of the recommended station components discussed in Section D of this report. Two station concepts were developed, with the primary difference between them being the manner in which station passengers would have access to both of the side platforms. As walking across the tracks is not an option, the only two ways to achieve access would be by using either an overpass or an underpass. The following provides a discussion of the overpass and the underpass options: Overpass Option This option would use a pedestrian bridge over the tracks similar to what is used at existing Metrolink stations in Fullerton and Irvine. The conceptual plan for the overpass option is provided in Exhibit 11. The total required footprint would be approximately 40,500 square feet. The station master plan footprint includes the transit plaza, a pedestrian mall, shuttle / “kiss & ride area”, a parking structure and the plaza area in front of the parking structure. The transit plaza area is larger than for the underpass option as it would include an area for accessible surface parking on the east side of the station. The pedestrian mall would provide a connection over to the proposed Kaiser facility to allow its employees and visitors to easily access the station on foot. This mall is contemplated at 40 feet wide in order to include sufficient space for a 15’ to 20’ wide walkway and landscaping on both sides. This is one potential configuration and would be dependent ultimately upon the future surrounding developments on the properties along Grove Street and the resulting street and block pattern. A roadway is proposed on the east side of the station to accommodate the shuttle / “kiss & ride” area and to allow for efficient vehicular circulation and pick-up and drop-off of passengers adjacent to the station. Access from the west side of the station would be pedestrian-only via either the pedestrian mall or a short walkway connecting to The Crossings transit oriented development project located immediately to the west of the station. The overpass would have both a stairway and an elevator on either side of the bridge. Secondary ramps would also need to be provided in case of an emergency. A 25-foot setback for overpass support members would be used in order to avoid the need for a crash wall. This is illustrated in the elevation drawing on Exhibit 12. The top of the structure would be as high as a three-story building, given the need for a 26-foot clearance above the tracks as required by Metrolink design standards. Parking would potentially be accommodated in a shared structure on the Pacificenter site; however, this would require further negotiations with the property owner. Underpass Option This option would accommodate passenger access to each of the side platforms using a pedestrian underpass situated under the rail tracks towards the south end of the station, to align with the pedestrian mall that leads to the proposed Kaiser facility. The conceptual plan for the underpass option is provided in Exhibit 13. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 23 A total footprint of approximately 43,500 square feet would be required for the underpass option. This is higher than what would be required with an overpass due to the requirements for the 100-foot long ramps on either side of the station. Ramps would be gradual enough to meet ADA accessibility requirements for wheelchair users. Stairs would also be provided to each of the platforms to allow for additional passenger access. The underpass would be designed to provide for an open feeling that provides a sense of security and encourages people to use it. People would be able to easily see through to both sides which will establish the sense of connection between the station and the adjacent land uses. The underpass would be well-lit in the evenings and aesthetic elements would be designed into the structure to ensure that it is pedestrian-friendly. A section drawing of the underpass option is provided in Exhibit 14. The benefit of the underpass is that it allows for more continuous pedestrian experience and better views to the station platforms so that the station becomes truly a part of the neighborhood without being imposing. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Overpass Option – Site Plan TRANSIT PLAZA 17,000 SF PEDESTRIAN MALL 20,500 SF BUS/KISS & RIDE BAY 3,000 SF TOTAL 40,500 SF PARKING 100 STALLS Exhibit 11 TVM = TICKET VENDING MACHINE ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Overpass Option – Elevation * (view looking to the north) Exhibit 12 ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Underpass Option – Site Plan TRANSIT PLAZA 15,500 SF PEDESTRIAN MALL 25,000 SF BUS/KISS & RIDE BAY 3,000 SF TOTAL 43,500 SF PARKING 100 STALLS Exhibit 13 ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim * (view looking to the west) * (view looking to the north) Exhibit 14 Underpass Option – Elevations ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 28 SECTION F: STATION VISION AND MASTER SITE PLAN F.1 STATION VISION The vision for Anaheim Canyon Station is to create an environment that honors the status of the Metrolink commuter rail system at the top of the public transit hierarchy in Orange County, by making it an integral part of the Anaheim Canyon Business Center, as contemplated in the Northeast Area Specific Plan. The station will be an essential element in the continued economic growth in Anaheim by providing efficient commuter rail service that is connected to area businesses via other public transportation modes and new pedestrian linkages. It will be the centerpiece of a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented transit village and serve to unify the individual development projects in the area so that they function as a neighborhood, rather than isolated enclaves. The Anaheim Canyon Station will be the secondary intermodal transit center in the City of Anaheim, after the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), providing Metrolink commuter rail service, access to the future OCTA bus rapid transit (BRT) line on La Palma Avenue, local and community bus routes, and Station Link service. The station recognizes that the surrounding area will transform, with residents and workers in the future being less dependent upon the automobile due to a combination of raised consciousness of the effects of auto emissions on climate change and high gasoline prices. For transit riders within a ½-mile radius of the station, walking and bicycle use will be the preferred way to access Metrolink and other transportation services along well-defined, pedestrian linkages that make the station district a highly-walkable place. Vehicular circulation for automobiles and buses in the area will occur through primary access points off of La Palma Avenue at N. Pacificenter Drive, a signalized intersection; or from Tustin Avenue at N. Pacificenter Drive, which is also signalized. The key principles of the vision for the station are: ƒ An expanded Metrolink station with an additional platform to allow simultaneous bi- directional passenger loading. ƒ Improved passenger amenities on the station platforms including canopies that provide protection from wind and rain. ƒ A high quality urban design that celebrates the station as an icon in the community. ƒ A new transit plaza and pedestrian plaza that links to transit-oriented developments on adjacent properties to both the east and west of the station to encourage walking and increased activity in the area, with a view to increasing Metrolink and other transit usage and improving security for passengers waiting on the platforms. ƒ Relocated bus and shuttle drop-off areas that provide immediate access to the station. ƒ Shared parking in structures on the PacifiCenter property that will reduce surface area dedicated to parking and promote infill development that is supportive of transit use. F.2 DESCRIPTION The areas immediately adjacent to Anaheim Canyon Station are reflective of the entire Anaheim Canyon Business Area: A mix of Industrial, manufacturing, trade, and shopping activities. Current zoning, however, recognizes the potential of the area immediately west of the station as a transit oriented, mixed use district. Interest in high density development west of the station, new development plans for the Pacificenter site, plans for a new hospital/medical complex, and expansion of the existing Metrolink facility have created a unique opportunity for the city to help define how these various projects can work together to create a vibrant, attractive neighborhood. A 3D rendering of the station is provided in Exhibit 15. Building off the axis of the healing gardens at the proposed Kaiser facility, a pedestrian mall traverses the Grove Street properties, transitions into an underpass beneath the railroad tracks, and comes up into a pedestrian and ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 29 transit plaza that feeds into the Pacificenter site. This combination of elements provides a continuous pedestrian corridor through the neighborhood. Branching off of this central path are sidewalks and urban landscaping that will allow for clear pedestrian access and navigation throughout the area, and make for strong connections to existing and future development at adjacent sites. The design of the underpass is a key element in creating a continuous experience along the corridor, as is further illustrated in Exhibit 16. Keeping the underpass wide and using shallow grades to change elevation creates a natural transition from one side of the tracks to the other. By minimizing overhead structure, stepping back the retaining walls, and landscaping throughout the design of the underpass allows for natural light penetration as well as increased safety through casual surveillance. The transit facilities are built on the existing right-of-way to the greatest extent possible. The bus drop-off, Park & Ride, and “Kiss & Ride” facilities are located on the Pacificenter site for easy access from La Palma Avenue and Tustin Avenue. The underpass provides access between the transit plaza, platforms, and the surrounding neighborhood, with both stairs and ramps making the transition between existing grade and the platforms. Ticket vending and validation is provided on both sides of the tracks at the south end of the platform. From there, patrons would proceed up to the appropriate platform. Canopies and screening will be designed to provide rain, solar, and wind protection without significantly encumbering casual surveillance or impeding movement on the platform. Amenities should include individual seating, trash receptacles, station identification and wayfinding signage, lighting, tactile warning strips, and raised wheelchair platforms. Exhibit 17 depicts how the vehicle and pedestrian circulation would function at the Anaheim Canyon Station. ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim 3D Rendering Exhibit 15 Looking West from Transit Plaza View Looking Northwest ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim 3D Rendering Exhibit 16 Looking East from Grove Street Looking Northeast from Pedestrian Promenade ---PAGE BREAK--- Go Local Anaheim Study June 2007 Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Vehicle and Pedestrian Circulation Exhibit 17 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 33 F.3 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE Preliminary cost estimates have been prepared for the Anaheim Canyon Station master site plan for both the construction and the right-of-way land components for the overpass and the underpass options. A breakdown of these costs is provided in Appendix B. A comparison of cost estimates for the two options is as follows: Description Overpass Option Underpass Option Phase 1a - Total Construction and Project Costs $13,870,057 Phase 2 - Total Construction and Project Costs $4,660,521 Total Land Cost $2,025,000 $2,175,000 TOTAL $18,161,157 $20,705,578 Estimated Additional Metrolink Off-site Costs 1 $5,339,048 $6,839,048 1. Metrolink costs would be for track, concrete panels (LaPalma Avenue crossing), turn outs and control points. Both of these options assume a pedestrian mall that is 40’ wide on the west side of the tracks leading over to the proposed Kaiser Hospital. Right-of-way requirements are higher for the underpass option in order to accommodate the ramping system that would eliminate the need for elevators. F.4 PHASING The preferred alternative is the underpass option. The station would be constructed in two major phases as follows: Phase 1. This would involve construction of the underpass, improvements to the existing platform, construction of the pedestrian mall, and the bus / shuttle pull-out area. Exhibit 18 illustrates the area to be constructed in Phase 1. It may be possible to further break down this phase so begin with platform improvements in Phase 1A and construct the underpass and pedestrian mall in Phase 1B. The next phase of study will analyze in detail as to whether there is any benefit to such an approach. Phase 2. The second track and second platform would be implemented, as indicated in Exhibit 19. The phasing schedule and cost estimates will be further refined in the Project Study Report (PSR) to be prepared in 2008. $16,136,157 ---PAGE BREAK--- Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Phasing Plan / Phase I TRANSIT PLAZA 15,500 SF PEDESTRIAN MALL 25,000 SF BUS/KISS & RIDE BAY 3,000 SF TOTAL 43,500 SF PARKING 100 STALLS Exhibit 18 Go Local Anaheim Study September 2007 ---PAGE BREAK--- Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park City of Anaheim Phasing Plan / Phase II Go Local Anaheim Study September 2007 Exhibit 19 ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 36 SECTION G: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY A comprehensive approach is needed in order to achieve the objectives of the Anaheim Canyon Station Master Site Plan that will meet the long term needs of transit commuters in the area, while also facilitating the development of a transit village on surrounding properties. The City of Anaheim has been working closely with landowners in the area and this should continue into the Preliminary Engineering phase of the station to ensure that the station facility, circulation and parking needs are coordinated with private development in a manner that creates a strong sense of place. The continued participation of both Metrolink and the Orange County Transportation Authority in the station planning and design process will also be critical to its success. G.1 ACTION PLAN Project Study Report The City of Anaheim should prepare a Project Study Report (PSR) that will describe the project and prepare reliable cost estimates for the purposes of determining eligibility for state and federal funding. The PSR should also identify the type of environmental documentation that would be required for the project along with any other related technical studies. A schedule will also need to be developed for the PSR that contains milestones related to: environmental studies and permits; plans, specifications and estimates; right-of-way acquisition; and construction. Proposed funding sources for the project also need to be identified in the report. Landowner Coordination The continued coordination with adjacent landowners will occur through the City of Anaheim Public Works, Planning and Redevelopment departments in order to facilitate the following on- and off-site improvements that are recommended in the master site plan; namely: • Parking Facility. The preferred long-term alternative to meeting the commuter parking needs is in a shared structure on the PacifiCenter property as part of the redevelopment of that site. A shared parking agreement with WCB Properties (PacifiCenter) with respect to co-locating station parking within future structure(s) on the PacifiCenter property would need to be negotiated. Surface commuter parking would continue in the interim per the existing agreement. • Bus Pull-outs and Circulation. Coordination is required with WCB Properties on the site planning efforts for a potential mixed-use development on the PacifiCenter property, particularly with respect to planned shuttle bus pull-outs, circulation and access to Anaheim Canyon station, in order to ensure that the station functions well from a transit standpoint while also allowing for an efficient TOD plan to occur. • Pedestrian Mall. The pedestrian mall between the Healing Garden of the planned Kaiser Hospital and the station plaza / pedestrian underpass would significantly improve access to the station for commuters. The City’s objective is to provide, safe and convenient access to the station area and in promoting its presence in The Canyon. The City will continue to work with Grove Street property owners to ensure that the pedestrian mall is designed to work well with any future redevelopment plans that may occur along Grove Street. • The Crossings Site Plan. The City of Anaheim Planning Department should ensure that final site plan for The Crossings project contain an access point to the proposed plaza / ramp on the west side of Anaheim Canyon Station that will be constructed as part of the implementation of the second track and platform. • Grove Street Realignment. While not required specifically for the station project to be implemented, a possible realignment of Grove Street may be required to implement additional development in the area to allow the north and south legs of the Grove Street / La Palma intersection to be aligned. This may impact the ultimate configuration of the pedestrian mall between Kaiser Hospital and the Anaheim Canyon Station. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 37 Siding In a meeting held with OCTA on August 15, 2007, a need was identified for a 1,500’-long siding in this area. OCTA requested that the City evaluate whether there may be a location to the north of the Anaheim Canyon station. OCTA Funding Sources City of Anaheim staff met with OCTA on August 15, 2007, to begin discussions about funding opportunities for Anaheim Canyon Station. The Inland Empire-Orange County Line is the fastest-growing line in the Metrolink network; however, future growth is constrained by both equipment availability and track capacity. Better operational capacity is needed along the line and for this reason; OCTA is supportive of a second track and platform at Anaheim Canyon Station. One additional round-trip and longer, six-car trains are planned to be implemented in the short-term (by 2010). Additional trips will be added on the IE-OC Line in 2012-2013. At some point, a single track and station platform will pose a problem operationally and result in train delays. OCTA and Metrolink are working with the freight railroads to reach agreements with respect to increased Metrolink service over the freight right-of-way. The City of Anaheim will work with OCTA to identify funding opportunities for capital improvements. Adding track capacity would open up funding options that might not otherwise be available. Potential sources for further consideration are: • OCTA Go Local Program (Measure Funding may be available in Phase 2 of Go Local to undertake design and environmental studies, which are estimated to require approximately $1 million. In Phase 3, the City of Anaheim would be able to compete for funding to move the project into implementation. Planning and programming needs to be undertaken at OCTA to determine the funding opportunities for the Anaheim Canyon Station. • State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). This would require a full PSR to be complete in October-November 2007 in order to be included in the December 2007 submittal. • TEA-21. Funding may be available for the project through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for right-of-way acquisition and construction. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) transit capital investment program (49 U.S.C. 5309) provides capital funding for three categories related to transit: • Modernization of existing rail systems, • New and replacement buses and facilities, and • New fixed guideway systems. The City of Anaheim, as a municipality, is eligible to apply for these funds, which are allocated on a discretionary basis. As the Metrolink system is a commuter rail service, capital projects related to its modernization or improvement are eligible. These projects include track, structures, signals and communications, power equipment and substations, passenger stations and terminals, and other items, such as operational support equipment. The allocation of funds is by a statutory formula to urbanized areas where the system has been in operation for at least seven years. Appropriations are funded under Capital Investment Grants through a formula that contains seven tiers. The match is 80 percent federal and 20 percent local. ---PAGE BREAK--- Anaheim Canyon Station Master Plan Site Plan Report Metrolink Extension Transit Studies for The Cities of Anaheim, Orange and Villa Park 38 Metrolink Funding A commitment is also required by Metrolink to fund capital improvements related to track and signal. Economic Development Administration (EDA) Grant Application Federal funding is available through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) for the pedestrian mall component of the master site plan. Strong pedestrian linkages to the Metrolink station are essential to the economic competitiveness of the Anaheim Canyon Business Center, particularly to the Kaiser Hospital, as many workers will be transit riders. By undertaking this improvement to the public realm, and providing a needed pedestrian access to the Metrolink station, the overall attractiveness of the Anaheim Canyon station area for business investment will be significantly revitalized. The City of Anaheim has discussed the project with EDA and has been invited to submit an application for EDA grant funding for the construction of the pedestrian mall between the Kaiser Hospital and the Anaheim Canyon Station. Should the application be successful, the allocation would be awarded in October 2007, and the City would have five years to spend the funds. City of Anaheim Funds Approximately $2 million in funding will be made available to the project through the infrastructure improvement fund related to the Kaiser Hospital development. Other funding availability will also need to be explored. Architectural / Engineering Design and Environmental Study Following the Project Study Report, the City of Anaheim will prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) and hire a design consultant to prepare the architectural and engineering designs for the station. Coordination will be required with Metrolink and OCTA. An environmental study will also be undertaken to the level identified in the Project Study Report. The design consultant would also prepare construction bid documents for the project. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Funding The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) transit capital investment program (49 U.S.C. 5309) provides capital funding for three categories related to transit: • Modernization of existing rail systems, • New and replacement buses and facilities, and • New fixed guideway systems. The City of Anaheim, as a municipality, is eligible to apply for these funds, which are allocated on a discretionary basis.
