horizontal and vertical articulation for the front of the bft-1ding. The entry points will be pushed -out closer to the parking lot and will pop-up at the roof line. Staff has been working with the applicant regarding the architectural features of the pop -ups, and supports the proposed architectural changes. e. Signage: The existing SR 60 Wal-Mart sign will be replaced as part of this project. The applicant has submitted sketches of a monument style sign that would meet the design criteria of the "interim" SR 60 corridor plan. The sign will not exceed 10' in height, will be internally lighted, and will have a sign "base" consisting of masonary columns and opaque landscape screening. Please see attachment #4 for a sketch of the proposed replacement sign. It should be noted that the foundation plantings on attachment #4 will need to fill the space between the ground and the bottom sign at the time of planting. In staff's opinion, the proposed SR 60 and foundation landscaping, the traffic separator paver enhancements, and the proposed architectural enhancements meet the standards of the interim SR 60 corridor plan. 17. Temporary Use Permits and Outdoor Display: Based upon Chapter 972 of the LDRs, temporary use permits can be issued for a variety of temporary uses including outdoor sales events. The Wal-Mart site has been a popular location for special vehicle sales events, based on its location and the abundance of excess parking provided for the unbuilt Sam's store. Although a majority of sales events have met temporary use permit. (TUP) conditions, staff has observed a number of events that have violated the conditions of the permits or were- unpermitted altogether. The most typical violations are failure to obtain a permit and post a bond, and placement of signs and banners in violation of the'permit. Staff has attempted to work with the Wal-Mart store management to reduce the number of violations by sending them copies of the permit conditions and limiting the number of days that TUPs are allowed to 45 days per year. However, there have still been violations. On the weekend of September 14 and 15, for example, there was a boat sales event held without any TUP. Based on the inability of Wal-Mart to control these events, staff is recommending that no more TUPs be issued for this -site. The recommendation does not include the use of temporary storage containers, used for layaway at Christmas. The location of these containers has been approved through the administrative approval process. It should be noted that the rezoning of the property from CL to PD did not specifically address temporary uses such as outdoor sales events. Therefore, since this site is within a special PD zoning district, and the PD district. established on the site does not specifically address temporary uses, it is staff's opinion that the issue of temporary uses on the overall Wal-Mart/Sam's site can be addressed with this rezoning and conceptual PD plan request. Staff has also observed a continuing outdoor display of material in front of the existing Garden Center. The permanent outdoor display in the parking lot raises two issues. First, it constitutes an on-going defacto temporary use for plant sales, which is a violation of current 47 BOOK� PA��90 OCTOBER 1, 1996
