Re: Stucco
The 2" clearance, no.
The foundation weep screed along the foundation, yes.
Proper screed along the brick, yes.
But 2" clearance, no.

Re: Stucco
That would just expose framing, or siding, or sheathing, or something.

With the vertical side, you want the screed to be adjacent to (approximately 1/8" - 1/4" from) the brick/wood/whatever to allow for a caulk joint from the screed to the other material. The stucco is plastered up to and into the screed, leaving the 1/8" - 1/4" joint open to accept the caulk/sealant.
