Meeting Date: November 26, 2024
1. 5090 West Atlantic Avenue, (2024-227, 2025-004, 2025-005, 2025-006) West, North, South and East Façades
Request: Four Mural Permits to allow a mural on each elevation of the Fifth-Third Bank to be constructed on the site.
Public Comment: No public comments.
Board Comment: The Board expressed overall support for the proposed murals, highlighting the importance of a cohesive thematic approach to the design of all four elevations of the bank building. They emphasized that the color scheme and design successfully convey the bank's purpose while maintaining a harmonious balance with the adjacent Taco Bell restaurant murals. The Board noted the positive impact of attracting more murals to the western area of Delray Beach. Additionally, they requested permission from the applicant and the artist to showcase the mural as an example of high-quality mural design in the DDA's art portfolio, despite the mural's location outside the Downtown Area.
Board Action: Approved 5-0
