Section 5.06.00 of the Collier County Land Development
Code (LDC) defines "mural sign" very broadly as:
"A sign that is a painting or an artistic work comprised of
photographs or arrangements of color that displays a
commercial or noncommercial message….
Murals are defined as both commercial or non-commercial
imagery.
Further, Section 5.06.06 of the LDC states that "Any sign
not specifically permitted by this sign code shall be
permitted," and no section within the sign code (5.06.00)
specifically permits murals. Therefore, murals have been
considered prohibited throughout the county, except
where specifically allowed by two existing Ordinances.
Ordinance 2010-23:
Nothing in LDC section 5.05.08,Architectural and Site Design
Standards, shall be deemed to prohibit the use of murals on
exterior walls of commercial buildings in the Immokalee Urban
Overlay District
•Murals are reviewed and accepted by the Collier County
Redevelopment Agency staff
•Murals do not contain text for the purpose of advertising any
business or commercial activity.
Ordinance 2012-39
1.Murals are only allowed on commercial, civic or institutional
buildings.
2.Building must be located within the proposed Cultural District
boundary and cannot be located along U.S. 41.
3.One mural is allowed per building.
4.Murals are permitted on sections of buildings where there are no
windows or doors or where the mural will not interfere with the building's
architectural details.
5.The mural cannot exceed 200 square feet unless specifically
approved by the CRA Advisory Board.
6.The mural shall not contain text for the purpose of advertising any
business or commercial activity.
7.The mural cannot be temporary in nature and the building owner
must commit to maintaining the mural.
8.Review and approval from the CRA Advisory Board is required to
ensure the mural complies with the conditions above and that the artwork
complements the design of the building in color, shape, and location.
Bayshore CRA
Currently 3 murals installed
Immokalee CRA
Currently 4 murals installed and 2
murals approved pending installation
While two ordinances allow for murals, a lack of
clarity around items makes a detailed
implementation process necessary, including:
•Clear definitions of permissible artwork;
•Complete list of allowable locations;
•Performance standards;
•Long-term maintenance guidelines, and;
•Liability and enforcement.
