7 <br />The contribution requirement applies to commercial, industrial and residential projects that <br />create three (3) or more residential units. For large development projects in excess of one <br />hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of building development costs, the percent for art <br />allocation will be .9% of building development costs. <br />EXEMPTION <br />All non-profit and affordable housing developments and structures that house a <br />Cultural Facility are exempt from the requirements. <br />OVERVIEW <br />The City recognizes that it is essential to balance the development and <br />revitalization of private property with the development of cultural and artistic <br />resources. To that end, the City has taken the initiative to negotiate a percent <br />for art in Development Agreements for select private developments on a case- <br />by-case basis. These demonstration projects have fostered community support, <br />national recognition, and private sector endorsements. <br />Broadening the contribution requirements will favorably impact the ability to <br />sustain the Cultural Arts Fund, which in turn increases the availability, accessibility, <br />and growth of arts and culture throughout San Leandro. Review and approval <br />of all specifics of a proposed artwork for development projects—including site, <br />artist, art concept, style, materials, and colors—will be the responsibility of staff <br />designated to administer the newly-defined Arts and Culture Program. <br />SELECT TERMS <br />Before the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any development project, <br />the developer will have commissioned and installed an on-site public artwork, <br />provided cultural facilities, cultural programming, or paid an in-lieu Cultural Arts <br />Fund contribution equal to 1% of the building permit valuation with approval from <br />the Arts and Culture Program. <br />1.
