Section 16.28.090 Nonconforming and unsafe signs--removal and Repair.

If a sign not legally in existence at the time this chapter is adopted does not conform with the requirements of this chapter, or if the construction, design, manner or use, or method of anchoring or supporting any sign makes such sign unsafe, the City Building Official shall give written notification to the owner of the property on which the sign is placed of the violation and the pending action of the City to correct the violation. Unless there is an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of the general public, the Building Official shall give the property owner thirty (30) days to correct the violation before proceeding to cause the removal of the sign or the rebuilding of the sign to conform with the requirements of this chapter, the building code adopted by Vernal City and any other applicable laws. The owner of the parcel upon which the sign is placed shall reimburse Vernal City for the full cost incurred in the removal of the sign or in bringing the sign into compliance. (PZSC § 03-13-009)
