BACKGROUND:
In 2008, the City Commission furthered its commitment to provide public art by adopting a Public Art Program. The Public Art Ordinance, which established requirements for public art as well as creating a public art fund, is applicable to non-residential development greater than 12,500 square feet in gross floor area. Generally, the requirements provide for the owner of a development to provide art work valued at fifty cents ($0.50) per square foot or to pay forty cents ($0.40) per square foot as an art fee to the City’s public art fund.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the American Top Team Facility site plan process, the applicant was required to select a professional artist and provide an installation valued at not less than $19,635. The proposed installation is valued at $30,000. Attached for your information is the artist’s background, and drawing of the proposed art piece with approximate dimensions.
RECOMMENDATION:
The installation was reviewed by staff and is recommended for approval in accordance with Code of Ordinances Chapter 13, Article II, Division 1 Section 13-146 titled “Art Selection Criteria,” for appropriateness, visual accessibility to pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and quality.
