We Need Your Input: Public Art Fee and Public Artwork Trust Fund

BOMA San Francisco Members:

Please take a moment to review the Public Art Fee and Public Artwork Trust Fund Ordinance amending Section 429 of the San Francisco Planning Code to:

• Provide that developers currently required to spend one percent (1%) of construction costs for public artwork on any development project over 25,000 square feet located in a C-3 district have an option to contribute all or a portion of that Fee to a City fund dedicated to support public art;
• Amending the San Francisco Administrative Code by adding Section 10.200-29 to establish a Public Artwork Trust Fund, funded through contributions and Public Art Fees, for the creation, installation, exhibition, conservation, preservation, and restoration of temporary and permanent public art and capital improvements to nonprofit art facilities within the C-3 district to be administered and expended by the Arts Commission; 
• Making environmental findings, Planning Code Section 302 findings, and findings of consistency with the General Plan and the Priority Policies of Planning Code Section 101.1.
