Board clears front‑facing mural at 1028 N. Federal Highway, citing compatibility with local murals
Summary
HRPB granted a certificate of appropriateness for a front‑facing mural at 1028 North Federal Highway by artist Leonardo Molero, finding the design in harmony with existing murals and recommending administrative review for signage separate from the COA.
The Historic Resources Preservation Board approved a certificate of appropriateness to install a mural by artist Leonardo Molero on the front elevation of 1028 North Federal Highway. Staff noted that while murals are typically recommended for side or rear elevations, the proposed design is "in good taste and design" and consistent with other Lake Worth murals.
Board members asked about artist selection and whether placing a mural on the front facade sets precedent. Staff and the applicant said Molero also painted the nearby Bohemian mural and has prior work in the city. The board moved to approve staff’s recommended conditions for the mural installation; signage shown in the rendering will require a separate administrative building permit and review.
