When located in any front yard, shall be limited to that merchandise

Other provisions of this ordinance notwithstanding, the use
of trailers, as defined in § 24.1-104, for outdoor storage
purposes in conjunction with a principal permitted use shall be permitted
by special exception approved by the board of supervisors subsequent
to conducting a duly advertised public hearing. Such activity shall
be subject to the following standards and such others as the board
may deem appropriate:
a.
The use of trailers/cargo units shall be clearly accessory and
incidental to the principal use of the property.
b.
Such trailer or cargo unit shall not be visible from any adjacent
right-of-way and shall be screened from view from such rights-of-way
and adjacent properties by a walled enclosure at least two feet higher
than the height of the tallest trailer/cargo unit with such wall being
constructed of as an extension of the principal building.
c.
The exterior finish of the enclosure wall shall match and/or
complement the faces of the principal building with which it is aligned.
d.
The wall shall incorporate articulations, pilasters, belt and/or
header courses or other decorative treatments to break up any continuous
linear expanse greater than 25 feet in length.
e.
Landscaping shall be placed around the perimeter of the enclosure
in accordance with the building perimeter landscaping requirements
specified by this chapter.
f.
The above provisions notwithstanding, the zoning administrator
may authorize the placement of such trailers/cargo units on a site
without need for installation of the walled enclosure in situations
where the trailers/cargo units are totally obscured from view from
any public roadway or customer parking area by virtue of their placement
behind a building or buildings on the site and when such units can
be effectively screened from view from adjacent properties by buildings,
fencing, landscaping, topography or distance.
