No sign described in this chapter whether permanent or temporary, shall be erected, constructed, altered, relocated, repaired or replaced within the limits of the City by any person, firm or corporation until a permit has been issued by the City Electrical Department and approved by the Zoning Administrator and, if applicable, a written order from the Zoning Board of Appeals that a variance has been granted. All sign permits shall be valid for a period of six (6) months from the date of issuance, and shall be void if the approved sign is not erected within that time period. Written notice of the permit's expiration shall be provided to the property owner. This section shall not apply to those signs specifically exempted in Section 1151.03, unless such sign is illuminated internally or externally.
