MOORPARK ARTS COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Moorpark Arts Commission
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Parks, Recreation &Community Services Director
DATE: February 12, 2009 (Meeting of February 17, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Patriot Commerce Center Public Art Conceptual Design
DISCUSSION
The Patriot Commerce Center is located on Patriot Drive, off of Miller Parkway, behind
the Market Place Shopping Center (Target). As a condition of approval, the developer is
required to prepare and install a public art project(s) on -site, or with City approval, pay a
fee in lieu. The approved art project must be completed, or fee paid, prior to the
issuance of the first building occupancy. The developer wishes to design and install an
original art piece and staff supports the decision.
The project falls under the City's current public art program which requires that the
value of the public art obligation be one percent (1 %) of the total building valuation for
the development, excluding land value and off -site improvement costs. At the current
time, the developer is proceeding with construction of buildings D through J (see the site
plan submitted in the developer's proposal and included in the Commission's Agenda
Packet). These buildings have a combined valuation of $9,873,109, which equates to a
public art piece with a value of $98,731. The costs to be included in the total value of
the art are typical design, construction and installation costs. The developer will
commission a second public art piece for the remainder of the project site (excluding the
Home Depot pad) at the time they are ready to proceed with construction of buildings A,
B, C and F.
The art piece proposed by the developer is a set of basalt columns set within a tilted
landscape bed. The location of the piece is the "round- about" at east end of Patriot
Drive that is intersected by vehicle access points leading to the Market Place and east
half of the developer's project. The location is well placed for maximum exposure on the
project site. The actual basalt column portion of the art project will range around 16 to
18 feet in height and will include up- lighting to show off the piece in the evening. The
conceptual plan for the landscape pallet is still under consideration by the developer.
The Commission is being asked to review the developer's proposed conceptual design
and provide comments. The City Council has final approval authority.
