The purpose of this Title and the policy of the City of Canby are to permit and encourage Public Art Murals located within Canby's Urban Renewal District for acquisition by the Urban Renewal Agency. Public Art Murals are to be placed on public wall space and paid for in full or in part with Urban Renewal Funds administered by Canby's Urban Renewal Director. The City Council recognizes that public murals can increase community identity and foster a sense of place and enclosure if they are located at heights and scales visible to pedestrians, are retained for longer periods of time and include a neighborhood process for discussion.
