Open Space Rosslyn Plaza Park Criteria The Rosslyn Sector Plan provides two potential locations for Rosslyn Plaza Park For either location, the sector plan calls for the following criteria to be met: o Provide a consolidated, primary open space of about 1 acre in size; o Accommodate a balanced mix of activities, including recreation, multiuse green space, and retail opportunities; o Building 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; o Provide 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; o Maintain a generous view corridor down 18th Street from Kent Street toward the esplanade; o Buildings located in proximity to the open space and 18 th Street should be signature buildings that respond to the surrounding open space and celebrate the view terminus. 20
