§ 21.80.165. Table 13B: Civic Space.

a. Promontory: A small open space located at the edge of a bluff or cliff primarily for viewing the natural landscape. It may be located to terminate streets or at intermittent intervals along edge streets. It may be of any shape. It is largely hardscaped with little planting. There shall be no minimum or maximum size for such a space.

b. Rambla: A linear open space between one-way streets that extends for at least three successive blocks. The space largely hard-scaped with intermittent or potted planting and always lined with trees at the edges. The tree canopies typically cover the entire width of the space creating a shaded zone for communal activity. This space can be used flexibly on a daily, weekly or seasonal basis. It may be striped for parking during normal hours, converted into a farmer's market or closed with bollards for communal functions. Playgrounds may not be located within the Rambla. The minimum width of such a space shall be 16 feet, and the maximum shall be 40 feet.
