If they need to close the sidewalk or a street for installation we require an encroachment permit and/or a traffic control plan. Otherwise, if the project is
on City property and no sidewalk or street will be closed they don’t need a permit – unless it’s a structure that requires a building permit.
Of course they need permission from whoever owns the facility and bear in mind that many utility boxes are owned by other utilities – PGE, Comcast, ATT etc
and they don’t allow their boxes to be painted or altered. Here, the City owns the traffic signal boxes and we can and do allow them to be painted.
If it’s a community group bringing an unsolicited proposal forward, we have an unsolicited project application process and policy. I’ve attached that info.
All unsolicited art projects are reviewed by the Arts Commission for approval.
Make sure you have the artist(s) sign a contract including a VARA waiver, indemnification and that they have liability insurance.

Subject: Community mural projects on public property
Hello all,
Does your city have a program/process for community-initiated mural projects on public property (i.e. retaining walls, traffic boxes, etc.)? If so, what is the review or permit process for these requests?
Looking for examples of projects that are not commissioned by the city and do not use public funds.
Many thanks!
