12.14.100 Green street or arterial.
A “green street or arterial” means a paved public or private right-of-way that either completely or partially manages stormwater through use of on-site stormwater management BMPs that provide water quality benefits and/or infiltrates stormwater (if an infiltration facility); creates attractive streetscapes that increase neighborhood livability by enhancing the pedestrian environment and introducing park-like elements into neighborhoods; serves as an urban greenway segment that connects neighborhoods, parks, recreation facilities, schools, main streets, and wildlife habitats; and meets broader community goals by providing pedestrian and, where appropriate, bicycle access. (Ord. 1954 § 2, 2016; Ord. 1685 § 1(Exh. A), 2009).
