17-12-0401 All signs legally erected or installed before the effective dates specified in Sec. 17-1-0200 may remain in place and in use, subject to Sec. 17-15-0500.
17-12-0402 All holders of permits for signs issued legally before the effective dates specified in Sec. 17-1-0200 may erect the signs that are the subject of such permits within the times allowed by such permits, and such signs will then be treated as though they had been erected before the effective dates specified in Sec. 17-1-0200 subject to Sec. 17-15-0500. However, such permits may not be extended or amended unless the sign that is the subject of such permit will conform to all of the requirements of this chapter.
17-12-0403 All violations of the sign regulations repealed by this Zoning Ordinance will remain violations and all penalties and enforcement remedies will be available to the city as though the violation were a violation of this Zoning Ordinance. However, if the effect of this Zoning Ordinance is to make a sign that was formerly illegal or nonconforming become conforming, then enforcement action will cease except to the extent of collecting penalties (other than removal of the sign) for violations that occurred before the effective dates specified in Sec. 17-1-0200.
