Background: The Development Services Department has been actively pursuing to control the aesthetic impact of signage on the community by restricting the location, size, and appearance of advertising signs. A number of murals have been installed without review or approval that affects the visual and aesthetic characteristics of the commercial corridors. At the Design Review Board meeting on March 28, 2007 the Board considered murals, requested a definition, process and standards for reviewing and approving murals. At the DRB meeting on April 25, 2007 Consuelo Marshall provided a presentation, recommendation and answered questions. Discussion & Analysis: Chapter 25.70 of the Lynwood Municipal Code (LMC) sets forth general regulations for the use of, and other exterior advertising formats, including murals within the City of Lynwood. Sign regulations are established to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by safeguarding and enhancing property values. The bottom line with murals is quality control as the aesthetic appearance can make or break a commercial corridor. LMC Section 25.70.030.A.1.c (Restricted Signs — Use Permits Restrictions) states "Murals; Not used for advertising, subject to approval by the Planning Commission ". Murals are considered artistic expressions not used for advertising purposes. Murals generally do not include numbers, letters, products or services provided at the location. A mural does not provide facts. The legalities of murals in terms of their protection by State and Federal laws have to do with whether the works is a work for hire, who owns the copyright to the work, the status of the artist and other issues. H \ WORDFILF %PLANNING�STAFFRPITmenin dib mwals 5-30 -07 d.c Areas of concern pertaining to murals include but are not limited to definition, size, number, review procedure, review person or body, permitting and fees. A mural's roots can be found in the universal desire that led prehistoric people to create cave paintings and the desire to decorate their surroundings and express their ideas and beliefs. The Romans produced large numbers of murals, but mural painting reached its highest degree of creative achievement in Europe with the work of Renaissance masters. In the 20 century, the mural was embraced by artists in Paris, revolutionary painters in Mexico and depression -era artists of the United States. A definition of a mural could be "painting applied to and made integral with the surface of a wall or ceiling" It is difficult to limit the size or number of murals as they are artistic expressions. A mural generally encompasses an entire wall or large portion of the wall as opposed to signs that are installed in a limited area. An artist expression may include more than one mural on more than one surface. Currently, the LMC requires that the Planning Commission review murals and the Development Services Department, Planning Division issue permits. It would be appropriate for a person or body that is trained in review and make recommendations. Either Consuelo Marshall and /or the Arts in Public Places Committee are qualified to review mural applications and forward the recommendation to staff. Review of a mural prior to installation is crucial. Staff recommends that a person submit a written application describing the proposed mural, to include a photograph of the proposed location, drawing of the design (maquette), and qualifications of the artist. After the mural application is reviewed and approved, City staff could issue a sign permit over the counter that costs $108 or further review by the Design Review Board and /or Planning Commission could be mandated.
