Ordinance No. Page 6 of 7 C. Unless given prior approval from the Director of Community Development installation of public art shall be on or within the project site. §13.20.060 Approval Process. A. Application. An applicant seeking approval of a project subject to the requirements of this chapter shall submit a public art application, as established by the city council, to the planning department, generally at the same time as the application for planning approval, or in instances where no planning approval is required, at the time of building permit. The application will include the preliminary construction and alteration cost of the project, a description of the proposed public art, budget for design, fabrication, transportation, and installation, resume of the artist, and a maintenance program and budget. B. Review. 1. Public art applications associated with Applications for Housing Accountability Act projects shall be reviewed by the Director for conformance with the criteria set forth in section 13.20.050 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Approval of the public art proposal by the Director may be reflected as a Condition of Approval of the residential project, and, to the extent the approved public art proposal would modify physical elements of the underlying project, such revisions shall be processed as an administrative amendment and not require additional discretionary project review and approval, with the Director's decision considered final. 2. All other applications shall be reviewed by the Commission. In reviewing applications, the Commission shall consider the following criteria: a. Quality. The foremost consideration will be the quality of the proposed artwork as assessed by the critical review of the Commission. The reputation and/or promise of the artist may also be key considerations. b. Relationship to the collection and to the community. The proposed artwork will be analyzed for its potential relationship to the city's present collection and the requirements of this chapter. C. Compatibility. Conceptual compatibility and appropriateness of the proposed artwork to the surrounding built and/or natural environment will be factors for consideration, and will include scale, form, content, and design. d. Materials, fabrication and installation. The Commission shall evaluate the existing artwork's material or the artist's proposed materials and their appropriateness as regards to structural and surface integrity, protection against theft, vandalism, public safety, weathering, and an analysis of long-term maintenance needs. The Commission will also evaluate the proposed method of installation and an evaluation of safety and structural factors involved in the installation.
