The Planning Commission reviews proposals at schematic and final stages, and building permits await approval, installation of artwork, and payment of required contributions.
Who needs it
Project applicants subject to the Art in Public Places requirements submit this application, with legal property owners providing notarized permission for the application.
Why it needs a notary

Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the Owner’s Permission?
- The legal property owner signs the Owner’s Permission in front of a notary. The form says the Planning Division will not accept the application without notarized owner permission.
- Do I need to notarize the occupant’s permission too?
- The form requires notarized Owner’s Permission, but says the Occupant’s Permission to Enter and Investigate Site must have the current occupant’s ink signature.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology or 2030. California recognizes out-of-state notarizations under Civil Code §1189(b); ask the city whether it will accept your notarized form.
- What else goes with the application?
- The city lists an application sheet, occupant permission with an ink signature, filing fee, ten copies of schematic-stage materials, and a digital copy on a flash drive. Final materials are submitted after schematic review.
