In order that the total face area and number of faces of all lawful outdoor advertising
signs within the business districts and the city not be increased, no person shall
construct an outdoor advertising sign without first removing outdoor advertising signs
equal in face area and number of faces. In order to administer this provision, the
director of buildings and inspections shall issue a replacement permit to any person
who permanently removes a lawfully existing outdoor advertising sign and any supporting
structure that has been inspected pursuant to this chapter and found to be fully complying
with this chapter and all other applicable codes. The director shall note on the replacement
permit the number of faces and face area, up to a maximum of 672 square feet, and
the zone district in which the sign was located for every sign face removed. Replacement
permits may be transferred. No outdoor advertising sign construction permit shall
be issued unless the applicant tenders for cancellation replacement permits with a
total face area and number of faces noted of at least the area and number of the sign
or signs to be constructed.
