The administration of these regulations shall be under the jurisdiction of Council. Enforcement shall be the responsibility of the Zoning Inspector as designated by the Manager. No person, business or organization shall erect, alter or otherwise change an existing sign without first obtaining a Sign Permit from the Zoning Inspector.
However, nothing contained in this section shall require the obtaining of a permit for, or prohibit, the ordinary maintenance of a sign such as repainting a sign to contain the same general content and the same color(s), or the replacing or repairing of removable panels with panels of similar size, color(s) and general content. Such changes or maintenance of a sign which does not require a permit under this chapter shall not be required to be approved or considered by the Design Review/Historical Preservation Area Review Committee. Nothing in this section shall alleviate the requirements imposed by other sections within this chapter.
