Any person who violates any provision or fails to comply with any of the requirements of this article shall be guilty of an infraction or a misdemeanor.

(§ II, Ord. 771, eff. December 4, 1987, as amended by § 243, Ord. 1095, eff. November 20, 2010)

It shall be the duty of the Planning Director or designated representative to enforce this article. When a sign is erected upon public property, including the street right-of-way, in violation of the provisions of this article, and it is determined by the City that such sign is hazardous to the general welfare of the public, such sign may be removed without notice. The cost of the removal or alteration of any such sign and any expense incident thereto, which, by the terms of this section, shall be paid by a permittee, sign owner, property owner, or any other person, shall become a debt owing the City for the collection of which the City may maintain a civil action in its own name.
