It is recognized that signs exist within the zoning districts which were lawful before <br />this sign ordinance was enacted, which would be prohibited, regulated or restricted under the terms of this <br />chapter or future amendments. Nonconforming signs shall not be enlarged upon, expanded or extended, nor <br />be used as grounds for adding other signs or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district. Legal <br />nonconforming signs existing on the effective date of this sign ordinance, or amendments thereto, may <br />continue as legal nonconforming signs provided such signs are safe, are maintained so as not to be unsightly, <br />and have not been abandoned or removed subject to the following provisions. This shall not prevent minor <br />maintenance and repair that is less than 50 percent of the fair market value of the sign, the re-facing of signs <br />where the type of business has not changed, or the keeping of painted signs in a neat and readable manner. <br />(1) No sign shall be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity. <br />(2) Should such sign or sign structure be destroyed by any means to an extent greater than 50 percent of <br />its replacement cost and no sign permit has been applied for within 180 days of when the property was <br />damaged, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. <br />(3) Should such sign or sign structure be moved for any reason for any distance whatsoever, it shall <br />thereafter conform to the regulations for the zoning district in which it is located after it is moved.
