These are outlined below. The Art Commission, in conjunction with the sponsoring City Agency, decides whether or not a project warrants a committee review. Proposals for consideration must be submitted in duplicate and signed by the appropriate sponsoring Agency Head. Art Commission review is a two-step procedure involving preliminary and final review. Some projects, because of their limited scope, require only one review for combined Preliminary and Final Approval.
Preliminary review occurs when a project is at the schematic stage.
It is at this stage that the Art Commission has the greatest opportunity for input concerning a design. Discussion at an early phase of a project can often resolve design problems in a timely and cost-efficient manner. A project should be submitted for final review after it has been given Preliminary Approval and working drawings are completed. If any significant design modifications occur after Preliminary Approval, the sponsoring Agency or applicant should contact the office for a committee review of the changes. The requirements for each presentation are described below.
