Summary
City council unanimously adopted an amendment to the Smart Code adding a clear definition of "public art" and clarifying where art may be installed and who may install it; the planning commission recommended approval.
The Montgomery City Council unanimously adopted an amendment to the citys Smart Code that adds a definition for "public art," a change aimed at clarifying what qualifies as public art and where it may be installed.
Warren Adams, the citys Land Use Control Administrator, told the council the amendment is "really the first step in, addressing artworks throughout the city, and trying to move towards some sort of review process." The amendment, he said, clarifies what public art is and who can install it.
The planning commission held a public hearing and recommended approval, Adams said. The council opened a public hearing at the meeting, heard no speakers, and then adopted the ordinance by unanimous voice vote.
Ending: The ordinance will allow staff and the planning commission to proceed with a review process for public artworks under the clarified definition.
