This is a request for the City Commission to hear a presentation regarding regulations of murals in the Land Development Code and take appropriate action.
*ESTIMATED STAFF PRESENTATION 10 MINUTES*
Explanation
The topic of how the sign ordinance regulated murals became an issue after a business was cited for violating the city's sign ordinance.
On November 6, 2013 the City Commission referred the issue of mural section of the Sign Ordinance to the City Plan Board. The City Plan Board heard this issue on December 2, 2013. During the City Plan Board meeting, staff presented several photographs for the board members to rank as either a sign or mural.
Staff will share the City Plan Board rankings after the City Commission has had an opportunity to rank the photographs.
Generally murals are defined by what is not contained in them. Items containing information intending to advertise or draw attention to a brand of product or brand of service shall be regulated as a sign. Murals also cannot include the name of the commercial occupant, business or brand identification, trademark, logo, address, offer of service or other commercial message.
