"The law would require the stores to attractively landscape the buildings and parking lots, provide covered walkways, and include canopies or columns on the buildings' facades. In short, the intent of the law is to require retailers to deviate from their monolithic construction template by using more attractive architecture and engineering that is friendlier to consumers and the environment."
