Hi Sarah,

We have two ordinances pertaining to public art in private development.  One is specifically for Metro Districts and the other is for Transit-Oriented Development.  The TOD ordinance specifically cuts the required allocation in half for non-profit organizations.  That has been interpreted to include all work in urban renewal zones. 

At this point, these recommendations have been made within the development office and then ultimately approved at a higher level.  No public hearing was required.

Perhaps that is helpful.

Regards,

Roberta Bloom

Subject: Public Art in Private Development and Affordable Housing

Dear PAN Colleagues,

Here are a couple of question for those of you who have public art in private development programs that apply to affordable housing:

In order to ensure that a PAPD program that applies to affordable housing does not create an undue burden on the overall project (ie. making the entire project unfeasible or resulting in construction trade-offs that detrimentally impact the overall quality of life for those living in the units): 

1.   Does your program allow partial exemptions and/or complete exemptions? (Secondary question: are these exemptions available to all developers or just for affordable housing projects?)

2.   And if yes, can these exemptions be authorized at the discretion of the public art program managers or must there be a public hearing; or is there another mechanism to grant such exemption?

Thank you all in advance and of course, happy to share responses!

Best,

Sarah
