The City of DeLand Historic Preservation Board reviewed a proposal for a public art mural on the west side of the building at 100 N Woodland Blvd. The mural, depicting Officer Mac McBride, is intended to replace an existing mural. The project involves replacing an existing mural of Officer Mac McBride, which was previously reviewed and approved retroactively with a three-year condition. After a denial by the Public Mural Art Committee and an unsuccessful appeal to the City Commission regarding design changes, the City is now proposing to install the mural at this new location. Staff analysis indicates the mural's color scheme is consistent with Historic Downtown DeLand and it will not cover architectural elements. The Board's review serves as a recommendation to the Public Mural Art Committee for final approval. The mural will be painted by local artist Paulo Jimenez and will be approximately 9 feet tall by 8 feet wide.
