Summary
Commissioners discussed plans for a wall mural at Baja Imports, which city council approved after the owner removed a commercial logo and replaced it with the word 'Mesquite' to comply with the city sign ordinance.
Mesquite Public Arts Commission members reviewed a proposed wall mural for Baja Imports and confirmed that the design had been modified so it would not conflict with the city’s sign ordinance.
Commission members said the owner removed the business logo from the proposed mural and placed the word “Mesquite” across the top to avoid classifying the artwork as an advertisement. Commission member Simon (referenced as staff) reviewed the proposal against the city master plan and the sign ordinance and spoke with the business owner about acceptable content.
The commission noted that the mural was presented to and approved by the City Council. Commissioners discussed scheduling and that Miles would serve as the artist for the project, with timing to depend on Miles’ schedule and suitable weather for painting.
No precise installation dates or project budget were given at the commission meeting. Commissioners asked staff and the artist to coordinate timing and to return with specifics for the commission to monitor progress and any follow‑up council notifications if the design changes.
