“On July 12, 2012, the City Planning Commission (CPC) heard and deliberated on a proposed ordinance to allow the creation and preservation of Original Art Murals.

Thirty speakers spoke on the proposed ordinance and expressed concerns regarding:

(1) digitally printed images being permitted as murals;

(2) the registration fee for new murals;

(3) the registration fee for existing murals;

(4) the 100 foot height limitation, and;

(5) the mural ban on residential buildings with fewer than five units.”
