Notwithstanding the foregoing, the repainting of any sign shall not require such approval so long as such repainting is of the same colors and design and has the same, and only the same, wording, symbols, logos, and/or other signs as the sign last approved by the Board of Trustees or, if the Board of Trustees approval was not required, by the last approval of the Building Department.
