Temporary Garden Center and Temporary Trailer Storage, Case Reviewed by

Action Requested
Staff recommends approval of the General Planning Permit request for a temporary green house and temporary
storage trailers in the parking lot of Wal-mart, as indicated on the plans, with the following conditions:
1. No electrical services shall be across any drive or walking surface.
2. If traffic becomes a problem around the temporary site, the sales area shall be delineated
with a barrier to restrict traffic.
3. The greenhouse/garden center shall be maintained free of debris and kept in an orderly
condition.
4. The location of the greenhouse is consistent with the submitted site plan.
5. The greenhouse and display area be removed within one week of the end of the sales period
and the site be returned to its previous condition.
6. The temporary storage trailers shall be removed by August 1, 2009.
Background/Discussion
Wal-mart store at 18185 Zane Avenue is requesting a temporary greenhouse from Apri120 to August 1, 2009. The
greenhouse will be located in the same location as previous years, which was in the parking lot in front of the
enclosed garden center. There were no known issues last year.
The applicant is also asking for approval to have up to six storage trailers for temporary storage during their
internal remodeling. The trailers would be on site until August 1, 2009. At the site plan review meeting, staff had
no issue with the proposal.
The reason for the delay in this request is that staff had to wait for the next available site plan review meeting to
review the storage trailer request portion which was new to Wal-mart's request. It did not appear on the May 18,
2009 City Council meeting because it was overlooked to be added to that agenda.

Enclosed is our lawn and garden and additional storage plan that we would like to submit to the
council for your consideration.
We are looking at setting our parking lot for the garden season the week of April 20th and remain
on the lot until the mid to late part of July. We will be taking up approx. 66 parking spaces
directly outside the garden center doors.
We also would like to submit for approval the need to have additional storage trailers on the north
side of our parking lot behind the store. We would be looking at a time frame of May 1st until July
31st. We will be looking at maybe 4-6 for additional storage during our store re-model this year.
These trailers would not take up any additional parking spaces and would be in the corner of the
lot behind our Tire and Lube Department.
