9.40.080   Stay of abatement on appeals.
   A.   Temporary signs in violation of this chapter shall be abated as required in this chapter and will not be permitted to remain even if an appeal has been filed. If the sign review committee finds that any temporary sign which has been ordered abated is in compliance with this chapter, such sign may be displayed after the decision of the sign review committee, even though an appeal of the decision of the sign review committee has been filed with the city council.
   B.   Any sign or signs, other than temporary signs, will be permitted to remain while an appeal of the notice to abate is being processed by either the sign review committee or the city council. On denial of an appeal by the sign review committee, the sign or signs that were the subject to the appeal must be abated within the time periods prescribed in Section 9.40.040 unless an appeal is filed with the city council, in which case the sign or signs must be abated within the time periods prescribed in Section 9.40.040 if the appeal is denied by the city council.
