RE- Oak Park Hei - Wal-Mart Outdoor Stora
FILE NO- 798.04
Jim Butler and I did a site inspection y esterda y at the Wal-Mart in Oak Park Hei and
noted a considerable amount of outdoor stora on the west side of the store. Numerous
semi shippin containers were present in the parkin lot and the west side of the buildin
was lined with items not related to the sales area.
A conditional use permit was issued in 1991 for the outdoor sales area and 36 foot wide
curb cut for the Wal-Mart Store. The retail store itself is a permitted use in the B-2,
General Business District. The CUP form indicated that no exterior stora would be
allowed other than what is used to facilitate a rec pro The B-2 District onl
allows outdoor stora b issuance of a separate conditional use permit that would re
screenin from nei residential areas and view from the public ri Wal-
Mart should be notified of this issue and asked to cooperate with the Cit in removin the
semi shippin containers and exterior stora that is not part of the outdoor sales area.
