My concern is this might 85 prevent economic development for a wet lab or something like that where there’s actually a demand. 86 87 Perdita Holtz: I did not show this specifically to Steve but things wet labs and pharmaceutical fall under entire ly 88 different categories. I do not have any concerns with things being removed these are not uses we had envisioned for 89 the economic development district. But the way that the district was done by NAICS code, it made the tables much 90 longer to start listing all of the subcategories. I should tell you that how we’re doing the whole overhaul of the tables 91 of permitted uses that Michael talked about last month, the Attorney’s Office is strongly feeling that we should go to 92 using the NAICS Code throughout all of the tables. And it has to do with having all of your prohibited uses listed in 93 your table so that everybody knows that it’s listed, there are no stars, it’s prohibited. We’ve done some initial cutting 94 and pasting and it’s about a 70 page long table of permitted uses. So it’s pretty significant. But it looks to be the 95 direction we’re moving in. 96 97 Tony Blake: Ok because the first four on the list seem to run counter to some of the initiatives that we ’ve had to 98 increase agriculture and that sort of thing. 99 100 Perdita Holtz: But if you actually look at the table of permitted uses, it starts on page 32, when you have food 101 manufacturing and there are still a lot of agricultural product manufacturing that would still be allowed. 102 103 Tony Blake: Ok. 104 105 Craig Benedict: Let me just add on to that. As Perdita said you’ll see more lists uses and it’ll be organized by certain 106 sectors of the NAICS Code and in there it’ll be very specific. I do work with Steve Brantley on a regular basis and 107
