ARROYO GRANDE; LOCATION CITYWIDE
Community Development Direcfor Teresa McClish presented the staff report to consider a
Development Cod�i�mendment to revise the Public Art Guidelines.
In answer to the Commissions' questions, Community Development Director McClish stated that
it i� not proposed thafi the Arroyo Grande In Bloom replace the Public Art Panel in the role of
revi�wing public art; corrected typographical errors; that there is no appeal process; language
can be added recommending installation method and estimated amount of maintenance
required under Proposal in the Guidelines; the Planning Commis�ion will not be involved in the
; general process, but may be involved in public art if it is proposed in conjunction or to
; encourage it in conjunction with a development project; the acfival approval of art on private
property would be by the panel, and this process limits City approval of an art piece to projects
on public property; for projects on private property, staff would convene the panel and the panel

will approve or deny the art piece; when talking about art on private property staff is expecting
art in conjunction with commercial developments; the process for approving art will be more �
involved on private property versus public property because the panel will be convened and
make decision for art on private property and the Councit will make the decision on art on public
property; the criteria for evaluation is the same for art on both public and private properties; and
the key difference is the decision makers; referring to the Selection Process in the staff report,
staff clarified that it is not necessary to submit a number of alternative art proposals; the panel
will be convened as the art pieces come forward and the people on panel are not permanent;
there will be a public hearing before the decision is made by Council for art on public property
and prior to being referred to the Art Panel for art on private property; and the decision making
will be taken out of the government realm for art on private property.
The Commission provided the following comments: an appeal process to City Council needs to
be established; should define public art, concern with someone putting something not cultural;
pointed out typos in the resolution and "Public Art Guidelines And Public Art Donation";
suggested adding recommended installation method and cost of maintenance required, under
Proposal in the Guidelines; add public art on public property still be presented before the
County Arts Council; under Guidelines; strike # 2. "Public at shall reflect the character......."
because it is too general.
The meeting was opened to the public and hearing no public comment the public hearing was
closed.
Commissioner Ruth made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Sperow to adopt a
resolution recommending that the City Council amend the Public Art Guidelines and
incorporate them into the Development Code as a separate document by reference, with
the following modifications:
• City Art to include an appeal process before the Public Art Guidelines and Public Art
Donation Program go before the City Council for adoption;
� Under Guidelines of PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES, strike number 2. "Public art shall
reflect...." and renumber the remaining guidelines;
• Under Proposal of PUBLIC ART DONATION PROGRAM, add #10. Recommended
manner of installation;
• Under Proposal of PUBLIC ART DONATION PROGRAM, add #11. Estimated
maintenance cost;
• Fix the following typos: in line two strike "the" and replace with "and" under NOW
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED ...... in the Resolution;
