Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the following provisions shall control the placement of non-commercial, temporary signs on private property.
A. One or more signs identifying, displaying, directing, or attracting attention to, or conveying a particular idea for, a non-commercial event occurring on a certain identifiable date may be placed on any parcel of privately-owned real property.
B. Any sign identifying, displaying, directing or attracting attention to, or conveying an idea related to, a non-commercial event which is to occur on a certain identifiable date shall not be placed on a privately-owned parcel of property more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the event, and shall be removed no later than seven (7) days after the date of the event.
C. All signs subject to this section shall be constantly maintained in a state of security, safety, and good repair. If the City determines that a sign subject to this section is unsafe or not secured, or otherwise causes a hazard to the public safety, or has been constructed, erected, relocated or altered in violation of this title, the City shall give written notice to the owner of the sign, or the person who claims responsibility for the sign, that: 1) the sign is in violation of this section, 2) shall specify the nature of the violation, and 3) shall direct the owner of, or the person responsible for, the sign to remove, or alter such sign, to alleviate the hazard or violation. If the City cannot determine the owner of the sign, or person responsible therefor, the City shall post such notice on, or adjacent to, each sign found in violation of this section. If the owner of the sign, or the person responsible therefor, fails to comply with the notice within five (5) days after the date such notice is given, the sign shall be deemed abandoned and the City may cause such sign to be removed and the cost thereof shall be paid to the City by the owner of, or person responsible for, the sign.
