The challenged Ordinance requires developers to install art works (worth at least 1/2% of the total cost of residential projects or 1% of commercial projects) as part of their developments using artists approved by the City. Builders may opt out of the public art requirement only if they pay an in-lieu fee to the City to be used to fund installation of publicly owned art on City property. |
