VERITAS is a proposed major ground-based gamma-ray observatory to be built at the Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona, USA. It will consist of an array of seven 10m imaging Cherenkov telescopes designed to conduct gamma-ray observations in the energy range of 50 GeV - 50 TeV. A description of the baseline VERITAS design and optimization criteria are presented. We provide basic characteristics of the array performance for observations of point sources, such as angular resolution, energy threshold, energy resolution, and integral flux sensitivity. The limiting factors of the VERITAS performance are discussed.
