§ 19-7 NONCONFORMING SIGNS.

   Nonconforming signs may be continued in operation and maintained after the effective date of this chapter, provided that nonconforming signs shall not be:

   (a)   Changed to or replaced with another nonconforming sign;

   (b)   Structurally altered so as to extend their useful life;

   (c)   Expanded;

   (d)   Relocated;

   (e)   Re-established after damage or destruction of more than fifty (50) percent of the replacement value of the same type sign at the time of such damage or destruction;

   (f)   Modified in any way that would increase the degree of nonconformity of such sign. Except in the case of division (e) above, this shall not prevent repairing or restoring to a safe condition any part of a sign or sign structure or normal maintenance operations performed on a sign or sign structure or replacement sign faces; or

   (g)   Signs which are nonconforming or are made nonconforming subsequent to a right-of-way improvement shall be exempt from the setback provision of § 19-4. All other provisions of § 19-4 remain in effect.
