格伦代尔市通过全市首部壁画条例 10月生效 首100份申请享小企业费率
格伦代尔市政府10月13日发布新闻稿宣布，该市首部壁画条例（Mural Ordinance）已经通过，将于2026年10月生效。这是格伦代尔首次为全市壁画设立统一的许可与管理规则，条例酝酿历时五年多。
新规更新了该市原有的壁画设计审查标准，为在现有公共与私人建筑上安装、维护和拆除壁画订立明确程序。市政府同时在「格伦代尔许可门户」（Glendale Permits Portal）上线壁画许可在线申请，以加快审查与批准流程。市议会9月29日另通过一项决议：前100份符合条件的壁画申请，无论申请商家规模大小，一律按小企业与非盈利组织的壁画设计审查费标准收费，以鼓励壁画在全市扩展。
格伦代尔图书馆、艺术与文化局局长莱萨·卡纳尼奥普阿·佩拉约-洛扎达在新闻稿中表示：「公共艺术有力量改变空间、讲述我们社区的故事，并营造更强的场所感。这部条例提供了支持壁画所需的清晰框架与结构，同时守护了让壁画富有意义的创造力与艺术表达。」市政府表示，新规旨在为申请人提供更明确的指引，并支持公共艺术在全市的发展。
Glendale Adopts First-Ever Mural Ordinance, Taking Effect This October
The City of Glendale announced in an October 13 press release that its first-ever Mural Ordinance has been adopted and will take effect in October 2026. The ordinance, more than five years in the making, establishes the city's first unified permitting and management rules for murals.
The new rules update Glendale's mural design review standards and set out procedures for the installation, maintenance and de-installation of murals on existing public and private structures. The city has also launched an online Mural Permit Application through the Glendale Permits Portal to expedite review and approval. In a separate resolution adopted September 29, the City Council directed that the first 100 qualifying mural applications be charged the Mural Design Review Fee for small commercial businesses and nonprofit organizations, regardless of the applicant's business size, to encourage more murals across the city.
"Public art has the power to transform spaces, tell our community's stories and create a stronger sense of place," said Lessa Kanani'opua Pelayo-Lozada, director of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture, in the release. "This ordinance provides the clarity and structure needed to support murals while preserving the creativity and artistic expression that make them meaningful." City officials said the requirements are intended to give applicants greater clarity while supporting artistic expression and the expansion of public art.
