EXHIBIT A
PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
8.1.4 Nonconforming Signs
C. When the federal, state or local government or public utility has caused the taking of property on which any legal nonconforming on-premises sign is located (example: the widening of a public right-of-way), that nonconforming on-premises sign may be relocated to an area of the remaining property so long as no compensation has been received for the value of the nonconforming sign and the sign is not further altered to make the sign less in conformance with this regulation. The new location for the relocated sign shall be approved by the Planning Director or designee. Any property owner who intends to relocate a nonconforming on-premises sign under this provision shall present evidence to the permitting authority that no compensation for the nonconforming sign has been received from the governmental entity or public utility and that no alterations to the advertising portion of the sign will be undertaken so as to make it less in conformance with this regulation. The permitting authority, upon determining that the evidence submitted satisfies the requirements herein, shall issue a new permit for the relocation of the nonconforming sign on the property.
