A. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person to erect, construct, enlarge, move, or convert any sign in the City or cause the same to be done, without first obtaining a sign permit for each such sign from the Planning Official. This shall not be construed to require any permit for a change of copy of any reader board sign, nor for the repainting, cleaning, and other normal maintenance or repair of a sign or sign structure for which a permit has been previously issued, so long as the sign or sign structure is not modified in any way. No new permit is required for signs which have permits and which conform with the requirements of this Code on the date of its adoption, unless and until the sign cabinet or profile is altered or the sign is relocated.

B. Every sign permit issued by the Planning Official shall become null and void if work is not commenced within 180 calendar days after the date of such permit. If work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for 180 calendar days any time after the work is commenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee will be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided that no changes have been made in the original plans.

C. In emergency repair situations, work may be initiated and completed without first applying for a permit. However, a permit shall be applied for within 48 hours after the first working day when work commenced on the sign. (Ord. M-3643, 2004)
