In mixed use projects, those portions for uses that are excluded from this requirement shall be subtracted to determine eligibility. Exceptions to this requirement are included in the code referenced above.

Projects may satisfy the requirement by installing on-site public art valued at one percent (1%) of the first one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00) construction valuation and nine-tenths of a percent (0.9%) of construction valuation for valuation in excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00). Maintenance and conservation of the artwork will be the responsibility of the property owner. If the market value of the on-site public art is less than the contribution parameters, the remainder shall be contributed to the Public Art Fund. If the value of the on-site art is greater than the contribution parameters, the city shall have no obligation to refund the excess amount. Alternatively, developers may pay an in-lieu fee of an equal value to the Palo Alto Public Arts Fund.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15px”][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”see-through-2″ color_override=”#16848c” hover_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”View Ordinance” url=”https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/paloalto/latest/paloalto_ca/0-0-0-75192″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1660147615442{padding-right: 2px !important;padding-left: 2px !important;}”]Brilliance (2014).
