On July 5, 2022 the Design Review Board (DRB) reviewed and approved an artistic super

e. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy,the project Architect shall verify, in writing,
that the subject project has been constricted in accordance with the plans approved by the
Planning Department for Building Permit.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Sec. 138-204 of the City Code, pertaining to noncommercial exterior graphics and
images, the maximum aggregate size of any mural, graphic or image shall not exceed 100
square feet, unless otherwise approved by and adopted by a majority vote of the City
Commission by Resolution.The proposed graphic exceeds 100 square feet in aggregate size
and is subject to approval by the City Commission.
The proposed graphic will be located on the north side of the site that is part of the phased
commercial development project 1212 Lincoln Road. This project that spans the entire block of
the west side of Alton Road, from 16th Street to Lincoln Road. Phase I of the project is
complete and the second phase of the project, the northernmost portion of the site, will include
retail and the City's first°citizenM" hotel.
The applicant is proposing the installation of an artistic super graphic along the ground floor
façade of the hotel entrance, which is at the southeast corner of Lincoln Road and Alton Court.
As proposed, approximately a third of the artwork (303 square feet) will be located on the
exterior wall of the building. The remainder of the roughly 17 foot high mural continues internally
through the building into the lobby.
The proposal, by multi-disciplinary artist Anna Valdez, will artistically improve an otherwise bland,
remote wall with a vibrant mural. The proposed artwork will be printed on film and applied to a
smooth substrate. The final design details are still being developed by the artist, but will be
representative of her work in subject, color, and expression. Anna Valdez has been exhibited
extensively and her work has been featured at the Perez Art Museum.
The Administration is supportive of the overall size and concept of the proposed graphic as the
installation of the mural will not only invigorate the design of the building, but also enhance the
pedestrian experience.
