Every sign and all parts, portions and materials shall be <br />manufactured, assembled, and erected in compliance with all applicable state, federal and <br />city regulations, including the city's adoption of the California Building Code. <br />B. Maintenance of Signs. Every sign and all parts, portions and materials shall be <br />maintained and kept in proper repair. The display surface of all signs shall be kept clean, <br />neatly painted, and free from rust and corrosion. Any cracked, broken surfaces, <br />malfunctioning lights, missing sign copy, or other non -maintained or damaged portions of <br />a sign shall be repaired or replaced within thirty days following notification by the city. <br />Noncompliance with such a request will constitute a nuisance condition and zoning <br />violation and will be enforced as such. <br />C. Determination and Measurement of Sign Area. <br />1. General Area Calculation. Generally, the area of a sign shall be measured as the <br />overall length of the sign times the overall height of each segment of copy or logo. <br />When the sign is composed of individual letters applied to the building without a <br />distinctive background (e.g., channel letters), the area of the sign shall be measured as <br />75 percent of the area of the sign copy (height of the letters times the length of each <br />line of letters, e.g., length x height x 75 percent). <br />-16- <br />
