A city initiated text amendment to Chapter 162 - Art in Public Places
body
Submitted By: Bridget Kean, AICP Senior Planner
Executive Summary: This is a city initiated text amendment to Chapter 162 - Art in Public Places. Chapter 162 establishes the public art requirements for private development and city public works projects. All private development meeting the applicability requirements is subject to a public art assessment of one percent of the total dollar amount of a project’s total construction costs. There are three methods available for development projects to satisfy the City’s public art requirements. The first option is to provide artwork on site. The second option is to pay a fee in lieu and the third option is a combination of the two. The proposed text amendment would add a fourth option to Chapter 162 to be known as Sec. 162.08 (2)(d) - Alternative Equivalent Proposal. Proposed subsection 162.08 (2)(d) will allow for a developer and/or owner to propose an alternative equivalent proposal for installation of freely accessible work of art on City public right-of-way, on property owned by other public agencies, or on another property under the control or ownership of the developer. The proposal may seek combination of the public art assessment associated with multiple projects into one larger work of art in lieu of several small works of art.
