Specifically, the defmition excludes infrastructure projects, and I do not know what is meant by infrastructure projects. The defmition also excludes projects funded by enterprise funds. Enterprise funds sometimes fmance buildings, such as ground storage tanks for our water system or the golf course clubhouse. When enterprise funds fmance buildings, I think such projects should be included. Staff will work on these issues before the Commission meeting Tuesday evening, and may have some amendments to offer at that time.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission regarding an amendment to the Land Development Regulations that will enact a new Article 8.5 to create a Public Arts Program, pursuant to LOR Section 2.4.5(M)(5). Pursuant to Section 1.1.6 (A), an amendment to the Land Development Regulations may not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board. BACKGROUND On August 20, 2002, following a recommendation by Richard McGloin, the City Commission established a Public Arts Task Force via Resolution No. 67-02. The purpose of the Task Force was to identify the methods, process, criteria and potential funding sources for incorporation of pubic art into future development projects within the City. A draft proposal for a Public Arts Program in Delray Beach was produced on February 28, 2003. At the City Commission workshop, held on April 8' 2003, the Task Force provided a presentation outlining its findings and recommendations. On April 15, 2003, the City Commission established the Public Arts Implementation Committee via Resolution No. 26- 03. The purpose of the Committee was to establish the not-for-profit corporation to administer the program and to work with City staff to outline procedures necessary to implement the City Public Arts Ordinance. On July 13, 2004 the Public Arts Implementation Committee presented their recommendations to the City Commission at a special workshop. These recommendations have been incorporated into the ordinance creating the Public Arts Program now before the Board for recommendation. IV.F Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report LDR Amendment -Public Arts Ordinance Page 2 ANALYSIS The purpose of the proposed Delray Beach Arts Program is to reflect and enhance the City's diversity, character and heritage through the artworks and designs of artists in architecture, infrastructure and landscape throughout Delray Beach on public and private property. The amendment requires the City to appropriate 1.5% of the total eligible construction costs to be used for artist design services and for the selection, acquisition and display of artworks, and for the administration of the public arts program. Eligible appropriations include appropriations for capital improvement projects, including eligible bond projects, eligible grant-funded projects, other eligible capital projects funded from other sources, but excluding appropriations for infrastructure improvements. The involvement of public art in a capital improvement project is optional for capital projects of less than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00); however, 1.5% of the cost of the projects will be retained for public art and these funds will be pooled for other art projects. If the funding source specifically restricts the use of the monies, then that portion of the funding shall not be included for the basis for the art fee. The monies appropriated under this ordinance may be used for artist design services, for the development of design concepts and models, for the selection, acquisition, purchase, commissioning, placement, installation, exhibition, maintenance~ and display of artworks. Artworks may be temporary or permanent, may be integral to the architecture (if applicable) and/or other aspects of the capital improvement project. The ordinance would also establish a Public Art Advisory Board created for the purpose of advising and making recommendations to the City Commission with respect to public art policy and related issues including, but not limited to, the selection, construction and placement of public art in/on City right-of-way and City owned property. The Public Art Advisory Board shall consist of seven (7) members. Three seats on the Board must be filled with either an artist, architect, landscape architect or engineer. The City Commission shall appoint all members of the Public Arts Advisory Board and shall endeavor to appoint as many disciplines as possible to the Board. Lay persons of knowledge, experience and judgment who have an interest in public art shall make up the balance of the Board. The members of the Public Arts Advisory Board shall serve for terms of two (2) years, except that the members of the first Board to serve shall be appointed so that three (3) members shall serve one (1) year terms and four (4) members shall serve two (2) year terms. It is further provided that no member may serve more than two successive terms on the Public Arts Advisory Board. The ordinance also amends Appendix A, "Definitions", section of the Land Development Regulations providing definitions of "Artist" or "Professional Artist", "Artwork", "Works of Art", "Capital Improvement Project", and "Public Art". The program, as proposed, will enhance the aesthetic character of the City's built environment, which is vital to the quality of life of its citizens and the continued economic Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report LDR Amendment -Public Arts Ordinance Page 3 success of the City and its businesses. For Delray Beach to remain competitive as nearby cities begin to revitalize themselves, new ways to attract people seeking something new and different must be found to sustain the economic vitality, character and charm of our City. This initiative is being pursued to accommodate this goal. REQUIRED FINDINGS LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), Amendment to the Land Development Reaulations, Findinas: In addition to the provisions of Section 1.1.6{A), the City Commission must make a finding that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element Objective C-3: Economic development is an essential component of the redevelopment and renewal efforts which are directed to the future of the City of Delray Beach. Specific efforts for the coordination and provision of economic development activities shall be centered in the City Administration's Development Services Management Group. Those efforts shall be governed by the following policies. Future Land Use Element Policy C-3.1: The City of Delray Beach hereby acknowledges the role of Culture and the Arts in Economic Development and pledges in pursuit of a theme of this Comprehensive Plan -- A Renaissance Community -- the promotion of the arts and accommodation of cultural activities for economic development ends. Future Land Use Element Objective C-4: The Central Business District (CBD) represents the essence of what is Delray Beach i. e. a "village like, community by the sea". The continued revitalization of the CBD is essential to achieving the overall theme of the City's Comprehensive Plan of '~ City Set Apart In South Florida". The following policies and activities shall be pursued in the achievement of this objective. Future Land Use Element Policy C-4.2: The "Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan" was adopted by the City Commission on March 19, 2002. Covering the downtown business districts surrounding the Atlantic A venue corridor between 1-95 and A-1-A, it represents the citizens' vision for the growth and unification of Delray Beach, while still retaining the "village like, community by-the-sea" character of the CBD. The Plan addresses a wide range of issues including infill development, neighborhood parks, shared parking, public art, the roadway and alleyway systems, marketing/economic development, and the need to modify the Land Development Regulations to include design guidelines to retain the character of Delray Beach. Future development and redevelopment in this area shall be consistent with the Master Plan.
