In addition to any permit required by this Article, a public way use permit is required under Section 10-28-010 for any sign which is on, above or over the public way, excluding a city digital sign. For purposes of this section, the term "sign" shall have the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 13-20-510 and shall also include the sign structure, sign mounting device(s), exterior sign illumination lighting, sign monitoring cameras and any other apparatus attached to or relating to the sign. If, in addition to the permit required under Section 13-20-550, a public way use permit is also required to erect alter, repair or maintain a sign, as defined herein, and such public way use permit has not been obtained or renewed in a timely manner, the Commissioner may revoke the permit issued under Section 13-20-550 in accordance with Section 13-20-645. If a general contractor or registered electrical contractor ("contractor") installs, alters, erects, or repairs a sign, as defined herein, without first having obtained any required public way use permit for such sign, the Commissioner may: (1) suspend such contractor's permit privileges, in accordance with Section 14A-3-304, until such time that the contractor comes into compliance with this section and Section 10-28-010, at which time the contractor's permit privileges may be reinstated by the Commissioner in accordance with Section 14A-3-304.4; or (2) suspend or revoke such contractor's license, registration or certification, as applicable, in accordance with Section 14A-3-305.
