109 Nonconforming Signs A. NONCONFORMING SIGN . A nonconforming sign is an existing sign structure which complied with sign regulations in effect at the time it was constructed or installed, but does not comply with current requirements applicable to new signs in its zoning district. 1. Enlargement, Repair or Alterations. Any nonconforming sign may be maintained, repaired, enlarged or structurally altered, as long as the changes do not increase the degree of existing nonconformity or create any additional nonconformity in any part of the structure. 2. Damage. a. If a nonconforming sign is damaged to the extent of 50% or less of its fair market value , a sign permit must be obtained before any repairs or restoration occur. (1) Restoration must begin within 1 year after the date of damage, and must be diligently pursued to completion to maintain legal nonconformity. b. If a nonconforming sign is damaged to the extent of more than 50% of its fair market value , the sign must not be restored unless it will afterwards conform to zoning district regulations. c. The percent of damage in terms of fair market value is determined by the Zoning Administrator, based on data submitted by the Applicant.

appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals. (See Zoning Regulations, Section 11-108.)
