It shall be the duty of the building department, upon the filing of an application for a sign permit, to examine the plans, specifications, and other data and the premises upon which it is proposed to be erected. If it shall appear that the proposed sign is in compliance with all the requirements of this chapter, and all other applicable provisions of this code, that the application has received the approval of the architecture committee, and that the appropriate permit fee has been paid, it shall issue the sign permit. If not, it shall deny the permit and give written notice to the applicant of the denial. (Ord. 90-O-552, 10-1-1990)
