4 “do you have trouble with rubber hose manufacturing?” and we’re going to have some little voting clickers and if everybody 163 kind of gets a straw vote that it’s ok then we move to the next one, because there’s going to be a lot of questions. The 164 Commissioners have, just when we went through the Hillsborough Economic Development Zone we asked them to weigh in in 165 those districts and there were five separate districts in Hillsborough and they had questions. Not the majority, but some did 166 have questions. And then the question was what does that exactly mean and the NAICS code does have definitions of those 167 specific areas, so we threw that their way. So it is a long task but it is going to add to some specificity for really everybody 168 concerned, instead of Craig or Michael saying, “Oh that seems like light manufacturing to us”. We’ll have a little more 169 coverage if it’s listed or not. 170 171 Tony Blake: This reminds me of the old IBM thing in the park right when IBM moved into the park and everybody was 172 complaining and they said, “this is a research park, we don’t allow manufacturing” and IBM attorney’s came back and said, 173 “Well we don’t manufacture, we assemble”. So back to my water tower example, doesn’t the way they’re going to use that 174 matter? 175 176 Michael Harvey: On one level, no. On another level, stand-alone water towers… are you concerned we’re not going to allow a 177 utility to have a water tower? 178 179 Tony Blake: No, I’m just… When I look at it it’s not a use. It’s a thing that can be used in a myriad of different ways. 180 181 Michael Harvey: I can actually point to two water towers in Orange County that are stand alone uses that serve a utility 182 function for the utility provider that has it there. I can also tell you water towers in certain volunteer fire departments to serve as 183 prime pumps to drain and put into an engine as emergency water preserve. But in that instance I would call it a customary 184 accessory use to the volunteer fire department versus a stand-alone use. It’s connected to the principal activity… And it’s a 185 broad example. 186 187 Tony Blake: Again, I get back to what happens when this thing is listed in two different categories, like banks and financial 188 institutions. 189 190 Craig Benedict: We’re going to get them all into one. 191 192 Tony Blake: Ok. So the intent is to remove them from the commercial use and put them in the financial? 193 194 Michael Harvey: Well I think as we have the footnote we have it listed as it currently is and we said we’re going to have to 195 broaden and move it. Just like retail. 196 197 Tony Blake: I guess I’m over it. I was left with this… when I look down this column called “Use type” there are things in there 198 that don’t strike me as uses so much as they are… 199 200 Michael Harvey: Well there are examples all throughout. One big example I’ll throw out as Tony’s looking for his example is 201 somewhere in here, and we included it because it’s listed in the NAICS table, we’ve actually foot noted it and said this is just to 202 kind of give you an illustration for discussion purposes, land subdivision. I’m on page 43. And the footnote we have, this is 203 listed in NAICS, and our goal is to try to pull in as much of NAICS as possible to kind of show you what we’re dealing with. 204 Land subdivision is not a land use. We included for reference and discussion purposes. This actually goes to Tony’s point. 205 There’s stuff in here that we’re not going to be keeping but we have to have it in here because we’re trying to give you what 206 the NAICS table says because at some point, I know if I were you, I’d be wondering, “Well I went and looked at the NAICS 207 code and you skipped two uses; was that on purpose?”. 208 209 Tony Blake: So special events were another one that that’s something that is an activity somewhere else. There isn’t really a 210 special event? 211 212 Michael Harvey: Well that’s a current land use. 213 214 Craig Benedict: The NAICS code almost went beyond just a use type. It listed an activity, like construction. I think it does give 215 a very exhaustive list and we can weed through some of those things. 216 11
