In order to minimize confusion and unfair competitive disadvantage to those businesses which are
required to satisfy the current sign ordinance standards, the County intends to apply firm regulation of existing nonconforming signs with a view to their eventual elimination. This goal shall be achieved by strictly construing limits on change, expansion, alteration, abandonment, and restoration. Excluding normal maintenance and repair, a nonconforming sign shall not be moved, altered (including face changes) or enlarged unless it is brought into complete compliance with this Chapter. The following alterations are exempt from this provision:
(1) face changes in nonconforming multi-tenant signs; and (2) copy changes in nonconforming permanent signs that were originally approved by the County with a changeable copy feature. (Ord. 2002-13, 6/18/02)
