Resolution No. 24242 Page 2 2. No part of a mural shall exceed the height of the structure to which it is tiled, painted, or affixed. The mural occupies the west facing building fagade visible from the Trio Restaurant parking lot. The mural is 1,170-square feet in size, sixty-five (65) feet long and eighteen (18) feet tall and encompasses the rear exterior wall. 3. 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 colorful mural applied to the west wall facing the restaurant parking lot has been applied by spray paint in colors of red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple, and black. The aerosol acrylic paint is weather and heat resistant of the highest quality made for exterior use. The paint pigments can expect to remain without fading for ten (10) years. 4. 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 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 a commercial building, and is located within a commercial zoning district. 6.

The mural does not consist of or contain any electrical or mechanical components. 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 Department and the Department of Building and Safety have reviewed the proposed method of constructing the mural image and have found that the acrylic paint will not be harmful as applied.
