Open Space—Rosslyn Plaza Park Criteria

oProvide a consolidated, primary open space of about 1 acre in size;

oAccommodate a balanced mix of activities, including recreation, multiuse green space, and retail opportunities;

oBuilding form and design should support the balanced mix of activities, including active recreation, and maximize sunlight opportunities on the public open space during peak usage times;

oProvide visual and physical connectivity between the primary open space and 18th Street, the potential bridge connection towards Theodore Roosevelt Island, the Esplanade and other key routes to the space;

oMaintain a generous view corridor down 18th Street from Kent Street toward the esplanade;

oBuildings located in proximity to the open space and 18th Street should be signature buildings that respond to the surrounding open space and celebrate the view terminus.
