A. Sephora USA, Inc. ("Applicant') has filed an application with the City pursuant to
Chapter 5.81 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC) for the approval of an art mural
installation on the east elevation of the existing multi-tenanted building located at 175
North Palm Canyon Drive, Zone CBD (Case No. 18-007 MUR) ("Application").

C. On February 6, 2019, the City Council considered the Application at a public
meeting in accordance with applicable law.
D. The project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15301
("Existing Facilities") of the California Environmental Quality Act (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 ("Regulations") of the Palm Springs Municipal Code,
the City Council finds:
a. Any alteration to an approved mural shall require approval in accordance with the
procedures listed in Section 5.81.040.
The proposed art mural is subject to the condition of approval attached herein as
Exhibit A, which requires adherence to this requirement.
b. No part of a mural shall exceed the height of the structure to which it is tiled,
painted, or affixed.
The proposed art mural will be installed on the exterior wall of an existing building.
The design and size of the art mural correspond to the shape and size of the
building elevation, and the top of the art mural will not extend beyond the height of
the structure.

c. No part of a mural shall extend more than six (6) inches from the plane of the wall
upon which it is tiled, painted, or affixed.
The proposed art mural will include three-dimensional elements; however, the total
thickness will not project more than six (6) inches from the face of the building.
d. 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 turned off and back on not more than once every 24 hours).
The proposed art mural will not contain any electrical or mechanical components.
e. No mural shall be placed on a lot that is improved with only one single-family
residential structure and accessory structures.
The proposed art mural will be installed on a non-residential property. The art
mural will be installed on the commercial building wall and meet this requirement.
f. No mural shall be arranged and illuminated in a manner that will produce light
intensity of greater than three foot candles above ambient lighting, as measured
at the property line of the nearest residentially zoned property.
The proposed art mural will have no direct illumination. The mural will face Palm
Canyon Drive and not affect any residentially zoned property located within the
site's vicinity.
g. Digitally printed image murals shall receive approval of both the Fire Department
and Department of Building and Safety.
The art mural meets this requirement because it includes foam/signboard and
Acrylic paint materials.
h. A mural shall not be created without the final authorization of the Palm Springs City
Council.
The applicant is seeking approval of the proposed art mural. With City Council
approval, the proposed project will meet this requirement.
