(a) A sign for which a sign permit would not have been issued under this chapter, but which was in existence on April 1, 2023, and which was constructed in accordance with the ordinances and other applicable laws in effect on the date of its construction, but which by reason of its size, height, location, design, or construction is not in conformance with the requirements of this chapter, shall be declared to be a Nonconforming Sign by the Zoning Inspector.

(b) Signs which were made nonconforming by the adoption of this chapter shall be allowed to remain in place, provided that no action is taken that increases the degree or extent of the nonconformity.
