§ 8110-7. Abatement of signs relating to inoperative functions.

Signs pertaining to enterprises or occupants that are no longer using a property shall be removed from the premises within 60 days after the associated enterprise or occupant has vacated the premises. Other signs of a temporary nature shall be removed within ten days following the event or other purpose served by the sign in the first instance. Any such sign not removed within the required period shall constitute a nuisance and shall be subject to summary abatement pursuant to Section 38773 of the California Government Code, and the expense of such abatement shall be a lien against the property on which the sign was maintained and a personal obligation against the property owner. Said property owner shall first be served with a notice to abate the nuisance and shall be given the opportunity for a hearing before the Planning Director.
