Any existing on-site sign that does not conform to the regulations stated herein shall be deemed a nonconforming sign and shall be subject to the provisions of nonconforming uses as provided in the City of Krugerville Zoning Ordinance.

MERITORIOUS EXCEPTIONS AND APPEALS.
1. 
Generally.
It is not the intention of these criteria to discourage innovation. It is entirely conceivable that signage proposals could be made that, while clearly nonconforming to this Article and thus not allowable under these criteria, have obvious merit in not only being appropriate to the particular site or location, but also in making a positive contribution to the visual environment.
2. 
Upon request of an interested party, the City Council, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, shall hear and shall seriously and fairly consider a request for a meritorious exception under this Section.
J. 
PROHIBITION. All on-site signs not specifically authorized herein are prohibited. The Administrative Official shall have the authority to remove any sign in violation of this Ordinance which is not permanently affixed to the ground on the effective date of this Ordinance.
