In-lieu of acquiring and installing a public art project, the developer of a non-residential development project of less than 50,000 square feet may make a monetary contribution to the City equal to forty-five one-hundredths percent (0.45%) of the development project's permit valuation (exclusive of land). Any developer choosing the public art in-lieu contribution shall reserve a site and provide a public art easement and an access easement for the site within the development project, if the City deems such site necessary. • Residential Projects with More Than 20 Units. In-lieu of acquiring and installing a public art project, the developer of a residential development project of more than 20 units may make a monetary contribution to the City equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the development project's permit valuation (exclusive of land). Any developer choosing the public art in-lieu contribution shall reserve a site and provide a public art easement and an access easement for the site within the development project, if the City deems such site necessary. *Note: The in-lieu fee shall be paid at building permit issuance, using the permit valuation number as calculated or verified by the Chief Building Official to determine costs. Use of Public Art Contribution In-Lieu Fee Monies from the public art contribution in-lieu fee would fund the following portions of public art: • Purchase • Installation • Maintenance • Education/Programming • No more than 10% for administration of the public art program Having a broad range of uses for the funding, related to public art, will complement the Another H.A.P.P.Y. fund. One of the largest challenges to using the Another H.A.P.P.Y. fund has been identifying funding sources for installation and the long-term maintenance of new art pieces. Next Steps • Take Civic Arts Commission recommendations to City Council for consideration and approval • Implement a public art plan, with the assistance of the Civic Arts Commission, to guide the expansion and management of public art throughout the City • Update PMC 13.16 to clarify the public art process and responsibilities.
