(A) Signs which existed prior to the time this chapter was passed and were in conformance with previous ordinances will be legally nonconforming until such time a major change is made to the sign, except sign located within or projecting over a roadway right-of-way as described in § 152.208(E), which are never legally non-conforming. Major changes include changing the copy, changing the size, changing the height, adding lights, and/or relocation.
(B) All nonconforming signs shall be kept in good repair, safe, neat, clean and attractive condition. In the event nonconforming signs are not kept in said condition or are demolished by any force whatsoever to the extent of 50% or more of the fair market value of the sign structure, said signs shall then be made to conform to this chapter.
(C) Nonconforming signs that are structurally altered, relocated, or replaced shall comply immediately with all provisions of this chapter.
