A. The Planning Director, or designee, may revoke the sign permit for a sign or sign structure in violation, including violations of restrictions on sign copy or the content of a sign face, and may require that the sign copy or sign face be removed, or that the structure on which such copy or face appears be removed. Removal of a sign structure shall not be required where the sign structure could legally be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Article 11, Sign Standards, in effect at the time the violation occurs and where the owner or operator of such sign structure can demonstrate to the Planning Director’s, or designee, satisfaction that he or she had no knowledge concerning the requirements of Article 11, Sign Standards.

B. The Planning Director, or designee, may remove unpermitted signs, faces, and structures that are located in the public right of way, or on utility poles or structures within the public right of way, or signs, faces, and structures for which no owner can be located, or which present a danger to the public health or safety, or signs in violation of this Ordinance.

C. Any repeated violation of the same provision of Article 11, Sign Standards, by the same individual or corporation at an identical or different location may result in immediate action against the individual or corporation, and may be considered a subsequent violation for the same offense, and each day a separate violation.
