(c) Sign Plan. For multi-tenant buildings and development projects with multiple buildings, the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve basic sign parameters that set forth the location, size and style of each tenant or building sign. Such sign parameters may be established when the Planning and Zoning Commission reviews development plans for new buildings or at the time that a specific sign application is made for a sign for an existing building. Whenever the Planning and Zoning Commission has approved such sign parameters, the Building Commissioner shall be authorized to review and approve any subsequent sign application submitted for a tenant of the development or building(s) that complies with such sign parameters.
(d) Status of Prior Violations. All violations of the sign regulations repealed by the adoption of this Zoning Code shall remain violations and all penalties and enforcement remedies set forth herein shall be available to the Village as though the violation were a violation of this Zoning Code. However, if this Zoning Code makes a sign, that was formerly unlawful or non-conforming, to become lawful and/or conforming, then no enforcement action shall be taken except for the imposition and collection of penalties for the violations that occurred prior to the effective date of this Zoning Code or amendment that made the sign conforming and/or lawful.
