Signs identified as “P” or “S” on Table 159.05A shall be erected, installed or created only in accordance with a duly issued and valid sign construction permit from the Zoning Administrator. Such permits shall be issued only in accordance with the following requirements and procedures:
1. Permit for New Sign or for Sign Modifications. An application for construction, creation or installation of a new sign or for modification of an existing sign shall be accompanied by detailed drawings to show the dimensions, design, structure and location of each particular sign, to the extent that such details are not contained on a Master Signage Plan or Common Signage Plan then in effect for the zone lot. One application and permit may include multiple signs on the same zone lot.
2. Inspection. The Zoning Administrator shall cause an inspection of the zone lot for which such permit for a new sign or for modification of an existing sign is issued during the sixth month after the issuance of such permit or at such earlier date as the owner may request. If the construction is not substantially complete at the time of inspection, the permit shall lapse and become void. If the construction is complete and in full compliance with this chapter and with the building and electrical codes, the Zoning Administrator shall affix to the premises a permanent symbol identifying the sign(s) and the applicable permit by number or other reference. If the construction is substantially complete but not in full compliance with this chapter and applicable codes, the Zoning Administrator shall give the owner or applicant notice of the deficiencies and shall allow an additional thirty (30) days after the date of inspection for the deficiencies to be corrected. If the deficiencies are not corrected by such date, the permit shall lapse. If the construction is then complete, the Zoning Administrator shall affix to the premises the permanent symbol described above.
