1. A legal non-conforming sign shall not be structurally modified, reconstructed, raised, moved, placed, extended, or enlarged unless the sign is modified to conform with all of the provisions of this title.

2. The sign shall not be changed to or replaced by another nonconforming sign.

3. Alterations shall not be interpreted to include changing the text or copy of off-premises advertising signs, signs for theaters, or other similar signs which are designed to accommodate changeable copy.

4. “Alterations” shall not be interpreted to include changes in any sign face or copy as long as those changes do not require structural modifications to the sign. Content changes to a sign face do not require the sign to come into conformance with the current sign ordinance.

5. Minor repairs and maintenance may be made to a nonconforming sign; however, in the event such sign has deteriorated or is hereafter damaged by whatever means, including an act of God, and such damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the reproduction value of the sign, according to appraisal thereof by competent appraisers, the sign may be restored, reconstructed, altered or repaired only to conform with this title. (Ord. 2002-17, amended, 2002; Ord. 99-12, amended, 2000)
