(a) Any conforming sign associated with the business activity, firm, or associated use for which such sign advertises has ceased to be in operation for more than thirty (30) days must have their sign copy replaced with a blank or securely covered. No copy may be placed on the sign blank or cover except for panels advertising the associated use for sale, rent or lease. Turning a panel inside out shall not be considered a blank. All provisions pertaining to the maintenance of the sign shall apply.
(b) If at any time the cover should become detached either partially or fully, the sign owner will be required to secure the cover immediately.
