CC 2024-06-25_10b Public Art 190 Station WayItem 10.b. MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director BY: Patrick Holub, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Public Art Project; One (1) New Painted Mural and Approving a Fee Waiver Request; Location – 190 Station Way DATE: June 25, 2024 RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt a Resolution approving a Public Art Project for a new painted mural and approving a fee waiver request; and 2. Determine that painting a mural is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: Staff time and resources are typically offset by application fees paid by the applicant. However, the applicant is requesting a fee waiver in the amount of $1,044.75. If the fee waiver is approved, staff time and resources will be funded by the General Fund. BACKGROUND: In 2002, the City Council approved an Art in Public Places Program and process. The Program and process were prepared with the assistance of the San Luis Obispo County Arts Council and an Art Donation Program was approved by the City Council in 2006. In 2011, the Art in Public Places Program was renamed to the Public Art Guidelines and was amended to apply to public art projects on private property. The Guidelines were also amended in 2021 to apply to public art proposals on non -residentially zoned property. Public art on privately-owned residential property was removed from the Guidelines to clarify that residential property was excluded. On May 14th, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 5358, amending the Public Art Guidelines and Public Art Donation Program (“the Guidelines”). Under these new guidelines, all public art projects are to be reviewed by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), who shall make a recommendation to the City Council. Selection Page 234 of 267 Item 10.b. City Council Public Art Project; One (1) New Painted Mural and Approving a Fee Waiver Request; Location – 190 Station Way June 25, 2024 Page 2 criteria, purpose of the guidelines and the approval process can all be found within the Guidelines. Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) The SAC, a review body comprised of staff from various City departments including Community Development, Public Works, and Police, reviewed the proposal on June 5, 2024, for consistency with the municipal code and General Plan . The SAC was supportive of the project moving forward based on their review. Architectural Review Committee (ARC) The ARC reviewed the proposal on June 17 th, 2024 (Attachment 2). The ARC was supportive of the project as proposed. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: On June 5, 2024, an application was submitted by Miner’s Ace Hardware, located at 190 Traffic Way, to paint a mural on the east side of their building facing Traffic Way (Attachment 3). Due to the location of the project on private property but facing and visible from the public right of way, the Guidelines shall apply to this project. The dimensions of the proposal are approximately nine feet two inches (9’-2”) tall by twenty-eight feet (28’) wide for a total area of approximately two-hundred fifty-seven (257) square feet. Imagery includes an agricultural themes with rows of strawberries and grapes growing with a rendering of the City’s Swinging Bridge to the left of the image and a se tting sun to the right. On the wall immediately south of the mural, the artist is proposing to paint four (4) adult chickens and three (3) chicks which are walking towards the mural. These additional chickens are shown below the mural on the artist’s submi ttal. The artist’s resume is included as Attachment 4. Review Process Under Public Art Guidelines The purpose of the Guidelines is to establish a framework to facilitate and encourage property owners to provide outdoor public art. Public art is that which is located either: 1. On private property with a non-residential land use that is visible from a public right - of-way or public property; or 2. In the adjacent public right of way; or 3. On property owned or managed by the City of Arroyo Grande, that is openly displayed to the public without charge. These Guidelines establish the City's goals regarding art that is publicly displayed and accessible to the public. The City recognizes that art and artistic expression is a protected activity and these Guidelines are not intended to unduly restrict creative expression or limit the types of public art possible. Rather, they are intended to facilitate and encourage the best possible combination of sites and artwork and help to guide what is essentially a form of communication between the artist and the community.

(State CEQA Guidelines, § 15301.) None of the exceptions to the Class 1 exemption apply to the painting of a mural because: the location of the project will not result in any significant environm ental impacts; there will not be any cumulative environmental impacts as a result of the project; the project does not impact or damage any scenic resources; the project is not located on a hazardous waste site; and the project does not adversely affect an y historic resources. 3. Public Art Selection Criteria: 1. Evaluation of artistic excellence, examining: a. The artist’s qualifications, including: education, training, experience, body of work, recognition of the artist, and the consistency of the artist’s qualifications with the stated goals of the project; b. The artist’s record of previous collaboration with other agencies, organizations, artists, fabricators, or installers to achieve a successful result in implementing the proposed project; c. The artist’s experience working in the public realm; d. To the extent applicable, the artist’s previous proven successful experience in creating, producing or otherwise implementing projects similar to the one proposed; Page 239 of 267 RESOLUTION NO. PAGE 2 e. The original nature of the proposed concept; f. The inherent artistic quality and aesthetic merit of the work; The artist has completed numerous projects with similar scopes and scale and has collaborated with dozens of public and private agencies to complete similar projects throughout the country. The proposed concept is original and shows key elements of Arroyo Grande culture and heritage. The design is well-considered, conceptually cohesive, and of high aesthetic quality in relation to the artist’s qualifications and experience. 2. Appropriateness of scale, form, material, content and design relative to the immediate neighborhood and environment; no mural shall be approved if the mural, as proposed, would create an objective risk to public health, safety, or welfare (e.g. a mural near a roadway would be rejected for the use of reflective materials, like mirrors, which could cause a distraction to drivers). Scale is defined as the relative size of a building element in relation to other forms and the human body. Form is the shape or configuration of the artwork; The proposal, as recommended by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is appropriate for the location in terms of form, material and scale. The mural does not use reflective material. Further the mural does not extend past any part of the building or include materials which would damage the walls of the building. The use of paint will ensure that the mural does not extend into any walkway or cause a risk to public health, safety, or welfare. 3. Appropriateness of proposed materials in regards to structur al and surface integrity. Materials should be considered in the context of ability to deter against vandalism, withstand weathering, and maintain the intended design; The proposed materials are intended for outdoor applications and are intended to maintain their durability over time.

Ease of maintenance and longevity of the proposed materials; The proposed materials were selected with ease of maintenance and longevity in mind and are intended for the proposed method of installation. As stated above, acrylic-based paint was selected because it is resistant to water damage when dry. Additionally, acrylic latex paint us a good choice for surfaces anticipated to have a high level of sun exposure due to its ability to resist fading and maintain appearance. Page 240 of 267 RESOLUTION NO. PAGE 3 5. Appropriateness of the proposed method of installation of the a rtwork with consideration given to the safety and structural factors involved in installation; The proposed method of painting the mural is appropriate for the type of artwork and will not contribute to an unsafe situation for the artist nor the public. As earlier discussed, the mural will be flush with the wall such that it does not extend into walkways creating a tripping hazard. 6. Location, considering the intended audience for the proposal, whether the public will be a captive audience or whether a person would need to take affirmative steps to view the project. Consideration shall be given to whether the mural would be in an area typically accessed or viewable by minors; The proposed location of the artwork will be in a location that will be visible to the general public.

Content, including but not limited to, words, symbols, signs, trademarks, or references to products or services provided on the premises.

Serving a public purpose of cultivating community pride and participation by local residents and businesses through fostered partnerships with businesses and non-profits; and b. Developing an additional tourist attraction in the City through the development of a cultural-related art piece. 5. Severability.
