All rights and privileges acquired under the provisions of this chapter, permitting the erection or maintenance of signs over sidewalks or public rights-of-way are mere licenses, revocable at any time without compensation with or without cause, by the city council and all such permits shall contain this provision.
If the city council elects to revoke any such license, it shall give notice of such revocation to the permittee or owner of the property on which the sign is situated and the address shown on the permit or, in the case of the owner, at the address shown on the last equalized assessment roll, and shall afford him or her a period of not less than fourteen (14) days within which to remove the sign or to reconstruct it in such a manner that it does not protrude over the public right-of-way.
If the permittee or owner fails to remove the sign within the period prescribed by the council, it shall be removed by the director of building inspections in the manner provided for in Article X of this chapter. (Ord. 2016-0010 § 20; prior code § 3.05.097)
