§ 30-54.10

Public Art.

[Added 5-18-2021 by Ord. No. 2333]
Specific Plan developments that proposed 100 or more residential units or of 25,000 square feet or more of non-residential use shall be required to provide at least one object of art onsite in public place such as a permanent outdoor sculpture, water feature or art feature on the project site. All proposals for onsite sculpture must be approved by the Architectural Review Board prior to installation. Sculpture ownership is bound by covenant to the property in perpetuity and must be maintained by successive property owners. Alteration or removal of sculpture must be approved by the City Council. The required sculpture cost allocation is calculated as 1% of the total project building valuation based upon the International Code Council ("ICC") Building Valuation Data table in effect at the time the building permit for each superstructure is issued.
For residential-only developments, the project's total building valuation will be based on an estimate of the total of the homes' market values. The sculpture allocation will be 1% of the market value as calculated by the City of Compton Building and Safety Department.
