Alejandra,
We have several murals that are painted directly on city-owned buildings. However, sometimes there are good reasons not to paint directly on the building. There are many materials that can provide a good substrate for exterior murals.
In the Colorado climate, we have found that aluminum works well. It comes in sheets, can be cut to different sizes and shapes, and creates a very nice and even surface for murals. If the building changes ownership the mural can be removed and possibly installed
somewhere else.
For private businesses, the city has a simple permitting process that is handled through the Planning Department. There are limitations on words, and no logos are allowed in order to distinguish a mural from signage.
Regards,
Roberta

Subject: Murals in City Code
Hello PAN Network,
Do any of you have examples you would be willing to share of how murals are allowed/addressed in City Code?
Currently, painting directly on primary exterior materials of buildings is not typically allowed in our city. Fortunately we are working on updating our City Code sign regulations, and are curious how other Cities address murals.
Thank you!
Ale
