Any illegal sign must be removed or brought into conformity by the permittee, property owner, or person in possession and control of the property following written notice from the Director. Such notice must specify the nature of the violation, order the cessation thereof and require either the removal of the sign or performance of remedial work in the time and manner specified by the notice. The time for removal or repair may not be less than 15 days from the date of mailing the notice. The Director's order may be appealed to the Planning Commission in the manner provided by this code. Should the order be appealed to the Planning Commission, which, following a hearing, upholds the Director's order, the city need not follow the abatement procedures set forth below to abate the sign.
