§ 152.269 NON-CONFORMING SIGNS, ILLEGAL SIGNS, AND SIGNS ACCESSORY TO NON-CONFORMING USES.
   (A)   Every permanent sign which does not conform to the height, size, area, or location requirements of this section as of the date of the adoption of this chapter, is hereby deemed to be non-conforming.
   (B)   Non-conforming signs may not be altered, expanded, enlarged, or extended; however, non-conforming signs may be maintained and repaired so as to continue the useful life of the sign.
   (C)   For purposes of this subchapter, a non-conforming sign may be diminished in size or dimension or the copy of the sign amended or changed without jeopardizing the privilege of non-conforming use. If a sign is non-conforming in its setback, this section shall not apply, and the sign may not be replaced.
   (D)   Any non-conforming sign destroyed by fire or other casualty loss shall not be restored or rebuilt if the cost of reconstruction will constitute more than 50% of the value of the sign on the date of loss.
   (E)   Any sign which for a period of 90 days or more no longer advertises a bona fide business conducted, service performed, or product sold, shall be removed by the owner of the building, structure, or property upon which such sign is located, within 30 days of receipt of written notice by the Zoning Administrator. This does not include activities that operate on a seasonal basis, such as an ice cream stand, unless it is clear that the use has been abandoned.
   (F)   A sign, accessory to a non-conforming use, may be erected in the village in accordance with the sign regulations for the subject zoning district.
