I would like to request zoning/design guidelines for the storage of freight containers. Freight containers are typically delivered on 18 wheeler trucks to industrial uses as well as retail such as Wal Mart. These containers are removed from the trucks so that the contents can be removed (or for storage) and the truck can be sent on its way. The problem we are having is the accumulation of the containers behind and around some of our retail establishments. This creates aesthetic problems since they can be viewed from the right of way as well as potential safety problems as they could potentially obstruct passage of emergency vehicles. Any guidelines to address this problem would be greatly appreciated. Also, a good definition of freight container would be appreciated.
