(c) width;

(d) area on which copy appears;

(e) number or position of the facings;

(f) types of materials used (e.g., wood to steel); or

(2) Any application for relocation or upgrade must meet the standard of lawful ordinance, regulation, or resolution of county or local government and the upgrade application must be approved by the county or local government, and approved by the landowner, before consideration by the department.

(3) The sign owner must obtain written permission from the land owner or other person in lawful possession or control of the new proposed site to relocate a conforming permitted sign. The proposed relocation site must meet all zoning requirements or qualify as an unzoned commercial or industrial area.
