Before you say "No Wal-Mart," keep in mind this is a serious thread.
For instance, consider uses such as shopping cart corrals and charity donation boxes in large parking lots. I've NEVER seen a zoning code with language that includes requirements for the placement and screening of semi-permanent accessory structures in parking lots.

Large objects such as cars, boats, engine blocks, home appliances, heavy equipment, industrial machinery, truck trailers, aircraft, and similar objects used as or included in freestanding or attached signs.
