sculptures, wall paintings, murals, collages or banners by artists recognized by the Renton

may determine that objects of art are exempt from the requirements of the City's Sign

2. Sited in a manner so as not to unduly divert the attention of motorists from
the roadway;
3. Stationary and do not revolve or otherwise move;
4. Not illuminated;
5. In good taste and reasonably reflect acceptable community values;
6. Of sufficient durability so as to have a life expectancy of at least ten ( I 0)
years;
7. Not used or referred to in the media or by the owners of the premises or
operators of businesses contained thereon for business advertising purposes.
DECISION: I find that there is no issue as to the artistic merit of the object so this

review. Further, I have determined that the proposal complies with the above criteria and
an exemption from the City of Renton Sign Code is hereby granted.
