The classification of industries following the Manual's format creates a pyramid of use descriptions. The broadest category on this pyramid is termed a DIVISION. There are 11 Divisions (A-K) each of which is made up of a set of MAJOR GROUPS. These Major Groups also have a sub-set of economic functions termed GROUPS, each of which are made up of a set of INDUSTRIES. Although not included in Appendix B, the Industries are further defined in the SIC Manual. The industries are further divided into ACTIVITIES. The structure of the SIC Manual is summarized below.

   Levels and Number of Units   Example

   at Each Level

   Division (12)   Division G: Retail Trade

   Major Group (419)   Major Group 54: Food Stores

   Groups (419)   Group 542: Meat and Fish (Seafood)

      Markets, Including Freezer Provisions

   Industries (1,003)   Industry 5422: Freezer and Locker

   Activities (10,000,-20,000)   Freezer Food Plans, Meat-Retail

Special attention should be given to DIVISION K NON-CLASSIFIABLE ESTABLISHMENTS which are those uses not otherwise classified by the SIC Manual. The establishments of such a use(s) in any zone may be granted by the Planning Commission. Such determinations shall be made according to the Commission's interpretation of the nature of the establishment which shall be compared to other uses of a similar nature in the zone(s) in question. The Commission's interpretation shall apply to all such buildings, structures, or land in the district rather than being limited to the specific case in question.

The text of the Zoning Code should be consulted in all cases, for the status of uses within a particular zoning district. Reference to Appendix B is indicated within each district where applicable. The tables within Appendix B indicate the classification of each 4-digit SIC designation within specific zoning districts as being in one of the four Use Classifications defined below:

   CONDITIONAL USE are those uses which would ordinarily not be appropriate in a district without special restrictions. These uses may be permitted by the Planning Commission as provided in the Zoning Code. The control of such uses within a zone are necessary in order to promote and preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the public.

   ACCESSORY USES are those uses so indicated in Appendix B. Said uses can be authorized by the Zoning Administrator if the following conditions are fulfilled. If all or a portion of the above conditions are relaxed; said uses may be considered as conditional uses. Accessory uses also include those uses and structures not indicated in Appendix B but which are accessory and incidental to any of the foregoing principal permitted uses or conditional uses located on the same lot (reference definition of ACCESSORY USE in § 150.03 of the Zoning Code).
