Executive Summary (General Business): 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 be known as an alternative equivalent proposal. Under the alternative equivalent proposal option, a developer could apply to combine the public art assessment for one or more projects into one larger work of art in lieu of several smaller works of art. As part of the approval process, the developer could receive permission to locate the art on City right-of-way, on property owned by other public agencies, or on another property under the control or ownership of the developer.
