That is a good question. I'm speculating, but it seems from the height and elevation of the exposed surface area on the attached structures, although blank as they are now with a uniform blue surface, that painting over them with just a single color or placing a mural on their surface would require a city permit. Also, should the mural constitute a sign or ad (message), then a permit is required.
