Commission approves 500‑square‑foot 'community' mural at Crenshaw Imperial shopping center
Summary
The planning commission approved a design‑review request for a 500 sq ft mural reading “community” on a Planet Fitness tenant wall at the Crenshaw Imperial Shopping Center; the applicant said the mural was developed with an artist and company community program.
The Inglewood Planning Commission approved design review DR25‑00036 for a 500‑square‑foot mural that will appear on the north facade of a tenant space at the Crenshaw Imperial Shopping Center.
Planner Angel Leon Martel said findings for design review were met and staff recommended the mural as an enhancement compatible with surrounding commercial and residential uses. Edie Trott of Newmark Merrill Companies described the firm’s community art program and said the design intentionally avoids celebrity likenesses and instead uses colorful text and community‑focused motifs.
Commissioners praised the artwork’s colors and scale and asked about community outreach; Trott said the design evolved through several iterations and that the company had previously worked with council offices on concepts. The motion to approve the design review and affirm the categorical exemption passed unanimously.
