The following applies to legal non-conforming signs.
(A) Signs which existed prior to the time this chapter was passed and were in conformance with previous ordinances will be legally non-conforming until such time a major change is made to the sign. Major changes include changing the copy, changing the size, changing the height, adding lights and/or relocation.
