A. A nonconforming permanent sign and sign structure may remain in use so long as it remains otherwise lawful and has not been damaged or destroyed to the extent of less than fifty percent (50%) of its value prior to the damage. A nonconforming permanent sign and sign structure that is damaged or destroyed to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of its value prior to the damage, or if it the sign and/or sign structure has been removed, cannot be restored or repaired unless it conforms to all applicable regulations for the district. Sign owners must supply the Village Manager with a repair cost estimate of the damaged sign and an estimate of the cost of a new identical sign.
B. All temporary nonconforming signs must be removed or brought into conformance within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this title.

D. No nonconforming sign and sign structure may be relocated, in whole or in part, to any other location on the same or other lot, unless the entire sign and sign structure conforms to all regulations applicable to the lot where the sign is relocated.
E. No nonconforming sign can be altered or enlarged in a way that increases the nonconformity of the sign or sign structure. This does not include normal maintenance and cleaning, or changing of the sign face. (Ord. 2017-4-198, 4-17-2017)
