§ 82-9. Existing signs.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Any sign, except as provided in subsection 82-6(5), installed and in use and in legal conformity prior to the enactment of this chapter will not be restricted by this chapter so long as its location, height, basic construction, and other significant characteristics remain unchanged. Any sign in any zoning district which is rebuilt, relocated, modified, enlarged, extended or altered, other than by normal maintenance to the configuration existing at the time of enactment of this chapter, shall be regulated by this chapter.

    (b)

    If a sign, legally in existence prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived has been destroyed, said sign must comply with these regulations. For the purpose of this section, a sign or substantial part of it is considered to have been destroyed only if the cost of repairing the sign is more than 60 percent of the cost of erecting a new sign of the same type at the same location.
