THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:
A. Palm Springs Cultural Center ("Applicant') has filed an application with the City

of a temporary art mural on the exterior wall of a building located on the westerly side of
the site at 2300 East Baristo Road, Zone PDD (Case No. 18-002 MUR) ("Application").

regularly-scheduled public meeting, and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the
Application by the City Council.
C. On June 6, 2018, the City Council considered the Application at a regularly
scheduled public meeting in accordance with applicable law.
D. The Application is considered a "project' pursuant to the terms of the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and is exempt from further environmental review
pursuant to Section 15301 ("Existing Facilities") of the CEQA Guidelines.
E. The City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the Application, including, but not limited to, the staff report,
and all written and oral testimony presented.
F. Pursuant to Section 5.81.060 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, the City Council
finds:
1. Any alteration to an approved mural shall require approval in accordance

The applicant has agreed in writing to inspect and maintain the mural regularly
during the time period in which the mural is in place.
2. No part of a mural shall exceed the height of the structure to which it is tiled,
painted, or affixed.

the wall upon which it is tiled, painted, or affixed.
The mural is applied to the westerly facing walls and parking area; the photos
affixed to the walls do not extend more than one inch from each of the walls.
4. Unless otherwise authorized by City Council upon making findings of no
resulting impacts, no mural may consist of, or contain, electrical or mechanical
components, or changing images (moving structural elements, flashing or
sequential lights, lighting elements, or other automated methods that result in
movement, the appearance of movement, or change of mural image or message,
not including static illumination tumed off and back on not more than once every
24 hours).
The mural art work does not consist of or contain any electrical or mechanical
components and the mural is not illuminated at night.
5. No mural shall be placed on a lot that is improved with only one single-family
residential structure and accessory structures.
The mural is affixed to an existing theatre building.

light intensity of greater than three foot candles above ambient lighting, as
measured at the property line of the nearest residentially zoned property.

The mural will not be illuminated at night.
7. Digitally printed image murals shall receive approval of both the Fire
Department and Department of Building and Safety.
The Fire and Building Departments will review and inspect the method of
installation upon approval.
8. A mural shall not be created without the final authorization of the Palm
Springs City Council.
The applicant has appropriately filed the proper application for approval of the
mural. The mural was installed prior to Council's review; however, it was reviewed
by the Public Arts Commission on May 10, 2018, and received a favorable
recommendation to the Council. Should the City Council deny this application, the
mural will need to be removed and the building repainted.
