Sign Code Amendments - Public Art Mural Program

Hearing notice posted below (6/3/14)

The Milwaukie City Council held a public hearing on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 and approved a new Title 20 to establish an art mural program as well as Zoning Text Amendments to the Sign Ordinance (File #ZA-14-01).

Summary of Proposed Changes

• Amended regulations would exclude art murals from the definition of ‘sign’ in Subsection 14.04.030, Definitions in Title 14, Sign Ordinance.
• The Milwaukie City Council is considering an ordinance to establish a public art murals program. The Sign Ordinance does not currently allow for murals to be treated separately from standard business signs. The program would allow murals on public buildings or on public art easements on private buildings.
• The Planning Commission recommended approval of the code amendments at a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The public art mural program is not a land use regulation, and not subject to the procedures for Zoning Text Amendments in Section 19.902.
