9. Amendment to Section 19.148.050 concerning changes to the Commission’s name:
19.148.050 Application Procedures for Public Artwork.
A. An application for public artwork shall include all requirements of Chapter 19.12.
B. Application for public art for a new development shall be made in conjunction
with the review of the permits for the entire project, in order that the design and
location be taken into consideration at the time of architectural and site planning, as
outlined in Chapter 19.168.
C. The Arts and Culture Commission shall review for approval the public art
application and artwork. The decision of the Arts and Culture Commission may be
appealed in accordance with Sections 1.16.020 and 19.12.030 of the Cupertino Municipal
Code, or as amended.
10. Amendment to Section 19.148.060 concerning changes to the Commission’s name:
19.148.060 Design Criteria and Artist Qualifications.
It is the intent of this chapter to provide for public art on private property without
imposing the artistic preferences of the City on the owner or the developer of the
property. Artistic preferences are to be primarily those of the owner or developer of the
property, but the artwork and its location is subject to approval of the Arts and Culture
Commission.
A permit required pursuant to Section 19.148.050 shall be granted upon a showing by
the applicant that the proposed artwork meets the following criteria:
A. The artwork is of a nature specified in Section 19.148.030.
B. The artwork requirement is to be satisfied with one significant piece of artwork,
except that the requirement may be met with several works of art when specifically
found by the Arts and Culture Commission to fulfill the intent of this chapter. The
artwork shall be an integral part of the landscaping and/or architecture of the buildings.
C. The artwork shall be easily visible from the public street and be located in an area
specifically designated on the project site plan. Appropriate locations include, but are
not limited to, entryways to the property, greenbelts, and building exteriors. The
artwork must be in permanent view to motorists and pedestrians. Artwork located at
the entrance to a development should make a major statement and be visible from the
main parking lot, if any. When located in proximity to major traffic thoroughfares, the
artwork should be at a motorist's scale and oriented toward the view corridor of the
motorist.
D. Artwork located along Stevens Creek Boulevard or De Anza Boulevard corridors
shall be large in scale and oriented to the view corridors of the motorist. Appropriate
artwork in these corridors will most likely be sculptural: however, other forms of art
may be considered if consistent with the intent of this chapter. Artwork should have a
27
Ordinance No. __________
Page 9
Fine Arts Commission Name Change- Page 9
visual impact upon passengers in a moving vehicle or pedestrians not less than 100 feet
away.
E. The composition of the artwork shall be of permanent materials requiring a low
level of maintenance. Materials used shall be durable and resistant to graffiti and the
effects of weather.
F. The nature and style of the artwork shall be considered in the context of other
artwork in the surrounding area in order to encourage a wide range of art styles and
materials, and to create a balanced and interesting aesthetic appearance. The developer
is encouraged to give preference to artists living or working in the San Francisco Bay
area, and to avoid using artists whose work is already displayed as public art within the
City of Cupertino boundaries.
G. Because the artwork will necessarily be highly visible to the public and be
associated with City requirements, expressions of obvious bad taste or profanity shall
not be approved.
H. Water and/or electronic sculpture may be permitted if adequate assurance of
continued maintenance is provided.
I. Artwork shall be identified by an appropriate plaque or monument measuring not
less than eight inches by eight inches. The plaque shall be made of a durable, permanent
material and shall be placed near the artwork, and shall list the date of installation, title
and artist, and medium.
J. The artwork shall be a permanent, maintained fixed asset of the property, and
statements to this fact shall be attached or recorded to the existing CC&R's or otherwise
recorded on the property deed, to advise subsequent property owners of their
obligations to maintain the artwork.
K. The proposed artwork shall meet the criteria for review as set forth in the City of
Cupertino Public Art Program Guidelines for Selection of Public Art, as originally
adopted by the City Council Resolution No. 05-040, or as later amended.
L. The artist's qualifications will be evaluated and examples of past work may be
reviewed. The review, however, shall be primarily for the purpose of determining the
artist's experience with artwork of monumental proportion.
11. Amendment to Section 19.148.090 concerning changes to the Commission’s name:
19.148.090 In Lieu Payment for Artwork is Discouraged.
In some instances the placement of artwork on a particular property may not be
feasible. The developer or property owner may apply to the Arts and Culture
Commission for an in lieu payment alternative on projects that lack an appropriate
location for public art, although such alternative is strongly discouraged. In such cases,
an in lieu payment of 1.25% of the construction valuation may be made to the City,
