SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Andrew Rakowski, agent, is requesting approval to convert 6,749 square feet of the existing Walmart Supercenter garden center to storage space for Online Pickup and Delivery services. The existing Walmart Supercenter building, located at 151 SW 184th Avenue, was approved through SP 97-25.
The proposed project includes associated site improvements consisting of a new sidewalk, restriping of the existing parking lot and directional signage. The proposed site modifications will enable Walmart to serve the customers picking up online orders.
BUILDINGS / STRUCTURES:
The applicant proposes a 16’ tall, 6,749 square foot expansion to the southeast corner of the existing Walmart Supercenter garden center. The area will be enclosed and utilized for storage of items for pick-up and delivery operations. The area will not be accessible to customers. Walmart associates will prepare the orders and bring them to designated pick-up areas.
The proposed addition will maintain the architectural theme of the existing building. The following colors and materials are proposed for the addition:
• Main Body: P49E Dark Gray
• Picket Fence and Gate: P36E Black
• Bollards: P5E Safety Yellow
• Aluminum screening for proposed roof-mounted mechanical equipment
PARKING:

Currently, 714 parking spaces are required on site, and 888 parking spaces are provided, excluding pickup stalls. The 6,749 square foot addition increases required parking to 738 parking spaces. Following the proposed restriping modifications, 891 parking spaces will be provided, resulting in a surplus of 153 parking spaces.
In 2024 through ZV2024-0006, 33 short-term parking spaces were approved for the site. The existing pickup parking spaces are proposed to be relocated to the area directly west of the Online Pickup and Delivery expansion area. Including pickup parking spaces, a total of 924 parking spaces will be provided on site.
SIGNAGE:
The applicant proposes the following signage:
• Six, 1.5 square foot directional pickup signs. Three signs will be located near the southwest parking lot entrance to direct customers toward the Online Pickup and Delivery area. The remaining three signs will be located along the internal circulation route to guide customers to the designated pickup stalls.
The wall signage for the site is regulated through uniform sign plan for the shopping center and will be reviewed and approved through the building permit process. Any wall signage shown is for illustrative purposes only.
