In moving forward with Fountain Hills’ Placemaking Strategy for murals, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a hearty discussion before approving ordinances with modifications for regulating artwork across town.
The commission voted 7-0 with contingency that all artists selected reside in Arizona, a mechanism to enforce the integrity of the artwork’s appearance be created and to appoint an art commission to review artwork.
While optimistic about the direction, the commission at large expressed concern over how art may be interpreted and the size of potential artwork on larger exterior surfaces.
