Section 2113 - Permit Expiration, Revocation, and Sign Removal(a) The permit for a Business Sign expires by its own terms.(b) The permit for a Business Sign shall be revoked as specifically provided in the permit and for any one of the following reasons:(1) For making any false or misleading statements in the Business Sign permit application, whether or not those statements were material to or relied upon by the Department in the issuance of such permit, when such false or misleading statements shall remain uncorrected after the expiration of 30 days following written notification thereof.(2) If the Motorist Services Informational Panel is filled and a subsequent Business Sign permit application is reviewed and approved by the Department for a qualified business which has a higher order of priority as described in Section 2112(b) of these regulations than an existing permittee business, then, the Department shall notify the existing permittee located the greatest distance according to the State Measured Distance that the Business Sign permit will not be renewed more than once and that the sign will be removed not later than the expiration date of the permit for the renewal period following the expiration of the current permit.(3) For failure to provide the services and/or facilities required by these regulations, and/or for failure to open for business for more than seven (7) consecutive days or for fewer than 10 days cumulatively during a one-year period, unless the business is of a seasonal nature and permittee had previously notified the Department of the intended closure to which the Department agreed, or the Department finds the Owner or Responsible Operator was in substantial compliance or that such failure was beyond the control of the Owner or the Responsible Operator, or that the failure was justified by extenuating circumstances.(4) For failure to comply with the application and permit, except in isolated instances without the knowledge of the Owner or the Responsible Operator, or on any occasion unless steps are promptly taken to ensure to the fullest extent reasonably possible that such instances will not recur.(c) A Business Sign shall be temporarily removed from or covered on all Motorist Services Informational Panels if, due to fire, accident or other similar causes, a Qualified Motorist Service Business becomes inoperable for a period of time exceeding seven (7) days, but not more than 90 days. Under these circumstances, a business shall not lose its priority nor be required to reapply for a permit prior to the normal time for a renewal application. A further extension of time may be granted upon a showing of good cause. Failure to reopen the business within 90 days or failure of the Owner or Responsible Operator to proceed with necessary repairs as rapidly as possible will be the basis for revocation of the permit and removal of the sign.(d) If a permit is revoked or allowed to expire, a new application must be submitted to the Department. The applicant must then requalify the business in the same manner required for initial permit applicant.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 21, § 2113
