City personnel shall examine applications for permits within two (2) working days after filing. If it appears from the application, drawings, and specifications therewith that the requested sign(s) and all existing signs on the premises conform with all the provisions of this chapter, a permit shall be issued. But, if City personnel find that any requested or existing sign(s) directly related to the application violates this chapter or any other chapter of the City code or ordinance related thereto, a permit shall not be issued until necessary corrections are made.

No additional permits shall be issued for signs on businesses or uses with signs not already in compliance with this section, including overdue sign regulation fees or unpaid inspection charges.

All signs, except for signs painted directly upon a building, are also subject to Building Department requirements.
