17.60.150 Notice of violation-Remedy.
   A.   Whenever it appears to the zoning administrator that any sign has been constructed or erected, or is being maintained in violation of any of the terms of this title, or after a permit for a sign has been revoked or become void, or that a sign is unsafe or in such condition as to be a menace to the safety of the public, the zoning administrator shall issue a notice in writing to the owner or lessee of the sign, or the owner of the premises upon which the sign is erected or maintained. Such notice shall inform such person of the violation, and shall direct him/her to make such alteration, repair, or removal as is necessary to secure compliance with this title within a reasonable time limit, which shall not be less than twenty days nor more than sixty days.
   B.   Upon failure of the sign owner to comply with the terms of the notice of violation, the zoning administrator is authorized and empowered to remove, alter, or repair the sign in question, so as to make it conform with this title, and charge the expenses for such work to the person named in the notice.
   C.   Except as otherwise provided, the zoning administrator may remove or cause to be removed a sign immediately and without notice, if, in his/her opinion, the condition of the sign is such as to present an immediate threat to the safety of the public.
