The SIC-NAICS Work Group, a committee of the DRRS, has completed its conversion
of the 132 Zoning District. Following review of the conversion effort, the DRRS'
recommendation on the effort would be appropriate.
As you may recall, the Work Group has been tasked with overseeing the conversion of
the zoning ordinance's commercial and industrial districts from SIC (Standard Industrial
Classification) code based to NAICS (North American Industrial Classification System)
codes. This memo is being utilized to present the results of the Work Group's effort in
terms of the 132 Zoning District Conversion; the Work Group will continue to work on
the 133, M1, M2 and EM Zoning District conversions.
Attached you will find: (1) Pages 1 thru 7 representing a summary table of the SIC to
NAICS conversion and whether the uses are appropriate for inclusion in the NAICS 132
Zoning District; (2) Pages 8 and 9 representing the potential 132 Zoning District
permitted uses list utilizing the NAICS; and (3) a brief history on the NAICS.
Please contact me should you have questions.

The History of NAICS
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was originally developed in the
1930's to classify establishments by the type of activity in which they are
primarily engaged and to promote the comparability of establishment data
describing various facets of the U.S. economy.
The SIC covers the entire field of economic activities by defining industries
in accordance with the composition and structure of the economy. Over
the years, it was revised periodically to reflect the economy's changing
industry composition and organization. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) last updated the SIC in 1987.
In recent years, rapid changes in both the U.S. and world economies
brought the SIC under increasing criticism. The 1991 International
Conference on the Classification of Economic Activities provided a forum
for exploring the issues and for considering new approaches to classifying
economic activity. In July 1992, the OMB established the Economic
Classification Policy Committee chaired by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, with representatives from the
Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. The OMB charged the ECPC
with conducting a "fresh slate" examination of economic classifications for
statistical purposes and determining the desirability of developing a new
industry classification system for the United States based on a single
economic concept. A March 31, 1993, Federal Register notice (pp. 16990-
17004) announced OMB's intention to revise the SIC for 1997, the
establishment of the Economic Classification Policy Committee, and the
process for revising the SIC.
The ECPC and Statistics Canada reviewed the existing structure of detailed
"4 -digit" industries in the 1987 U.S. SIC and the 1980 Canadian SIC for
conformance to economic concepts.
NAICS Structure
NAICS industries are identified by a 6 -digit code, in contrast to the 4 -digit
SIC code. The longer code accommodates the larger number of sectors
and allows more flexibility in designating subsectors. It also provides for
additional detail not necessarily appropriate for all three NAICS countries.
The international NAICS agreement fixes only the first five digits of the
code. The sixth digit, where used, identifies subdivisions of NAICS
industries that accommodate user needs in individual countries. Thus, 6 -
digit U.S. codes may differ from counterparts in Canada or Mexico, but at
the 5 -digit level they are standardized.
The New Hierarchical Structure
The Principles of NAICS
Development
The principles upon which the three countries
proposed to develop NAICS are as follows:
I. NAICS will be erected on a production -oriented,
or supply -based, conceptual framework. This
means that producing units that use identical or
similar production processes will be grouped
together in NAICS.
2. The system will give special attention to
developing production -oriented classifications for
(a) new and emerging industries, (b) service
industries in general, and (c) industries engaged in
the production of advanced technologies.
3. Time series continuity will be maintained to the
extent possible. However, changes in the economy
and proposals from data users must be considered.
In addition, adjustments will be required for
sectors where Canada, Mexico, and the United
States presently have incompatible industry
classification definitions in order to produce a
common industry system for all three North
American countries.
4. The system will strive for compatibility with the
2 -digit level of the International Standard
Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities
(ISIC, Rev. 3) of the United Nations,
Three Country Comparability
Three -country comparability of the North
American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) 2002
NAICS 2002 has a five -digit classification structure,
with a six -digit for national industries. With some
important exceptions, it provides a set of standard
5 -digit industries that describe the industrial
structure and composition of the Canadian, United
States and Mexican economies at selected levels of
aggregation where agreement occurred among the
three countries on a compatible classification.

Many of the new sectors reflect recognizable parts of SIC divisions, such as
the Utilities and Transportation sectors, broken out from the SIC division
Transportation, Communications, and Utilities. Similarly, the SIC division
for Service Industries has been subdivided to form several new sectors, as
shown in the chart below.
Other sectors represent combinations of pieces from more than one SIC
division. The new Information sector includes major components from
Transportation, Communications, and Utilities (broadcasting and
telecommunications), Manufacturing (publishing), and Services Industries
(software publishing, data processing, information services, motion picture
and sound recording). The Accommodation and Foodservices sector puts
together hotels and other lodging places from Service Industries and
eating and drinking places from Retail Trade.

Separate agreements providing for detailed

Differences in NAICS 2002 Manuals
Classes below the NAICS level are specific to
each country and do not show up in the other
countries' NAICS Manuals.
Difference between these codes in NAICS Canada,
NAICS US, and SCIAN Mexico reflect:
1. differences in relative size which allows for more
national industry detail in selected sectors (e.g.,
Manufacturing in the United States)
2. classes which are analytically important to one
country for cultural, economic or institutional
reasons (e.g., Cultural Industries in Canada)
3. detail each country has chosen to fill in the
classification below the NAICS level.
4. limited time and resources available for
developing NAICS.

IMPORTANT CHANGES BY SECTOR
Manufacturing
The Manufacturing sector is reorganized and re -sequenced to achieve
comparability with Canada and Mexico. Seventy-nine new industries are
recognized and another 186 are revised. In all, there are 474 NAICS
industries in manufacturing as compared with 459 in the 1987 SIC. The
most significant change to manufacturing is the creation of the Computer
and Electronic Product Manufacturing sub sector. This new sub sector
brings together those establishments engaged in the production of
computers, computer peripherals, communications equipment, similar
Page 3 of 6
In many cases, the national detail in the NAICS
Canada and NAICS US Manuals are similar. Note
that residual 6 -digit classes can end in either and 8
or a 9. Within each sector, the country with the
larger number of 6 -digit classes identified their
residual classes with a code ending in 9. As a rule,
the 6 -digit classes of the three countries carry the
same code when they refer to similar industries
and different codes when they refer to different
industries. However, in rare instances, when the
combined number of Canadian and US 6 -digit
classes exceeded 10, this resulted in an identical
code for classes with a different content. There are

electronic products, and the components for such products. The sub sector
was created because of the economic significance these industries have
obtained, because their rapid growth suggests that the products of these
industries will become even more important to the economies of the North
American countries, and because the production processes of the
establishments in these industries are fundamentally different from the
production processes for other machinery and equipment.
A number of important activities have been moved out of manufacturing
while other activities have moved in. Publishing has moved to the new
Information sector and logging to Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing.
Coming into manufacturing are bakeries that bake on the premise and
custom manufacturing.
Retail and Wholesale Trade
NAICS redefines the boundaries between Retail and Wholesale Trade. The
new NAICS definition emphasizes what the establishment does, rather
than to whom it sells. Retailers are defined as those establishments that
sell merchandise, generally without transformation, and attract customers
using methods such as advertising, point-of-sale location, and display of
merchandise. A store retailer has a selling place open to the public;
merchandise on display or available through sales clerks; facilities for
making cash or credit card transactions; and services provided to retail
customers.
Wholesale establishments, on the other hand, are primarily engaged in
selling or arranging the purchase or sale of: (a) goods for resale, (b)
capital or durable non -consumer goods, and (c) raw and intermediate
materials and supplies used in production. Wholesalers normally operate
from a warehouse or office and are characterized by having little or no
display of merchandise. In addition, neither the design nor the location of
the premises is intended to solicit walk-in traffic. Wholesalers also do not
normally use advertising directed to the general public.
The 1987 SIC defined retailers as those establishments that sold primarily
to consumers while wholesalers were those establishments that sold
primarily to business customers. The distinction between the boundaries of
the two SIC divisions was based on class of customer rather than the
selling characteristics of the establishment. It is estimated that seven
percent of computer wholesalers; 22 percent of office supply wholesalers;
35 percent of farm supply wholesalers; and 57 percent of petroleum bulk
stations will move to retail.
Another major change to the retail trade sector is the removal of
restaurants from retail trade. Restaurants are combined with
accommodations to form a new sector in NAICS, Accommodation and
Foodservices. Restaurants accounted for about 10 percent of retail trade as
defined by the 1987 SIC.
Information
Perhaps the most important change in NAICS is the recognition of a new
Information sector. This new sector includes those establishments that
create, disseminate, or provide the means to distribute information. It also
includes establishments that provide data processing services. Industries
included in this new sector are newspaper, book, and periodical publishers,
previously included in the manufacturing sector in the SIC; software
publishers, previously included in services; broadcasting and
telecommunications producers and distributors, previously included with
utilities and transportation; and motion picture and sound recording
industries, information services, and data processing services, previously
included in services.

NAICS Association - Information Page 5 of 6
There are 34 industries included in this new sub sector, 20 of which are
new. Some of the new industries include paging, cellular and other
wireless telecommunications, and satellite telecommunications.
Finance and Insurance
This new sector recognizes the important and dynamic changes occurring
in the U.S. financial sector. Real estate --part of this grouping in the SIC --
was moved to a new sector called Real Estate and Rental and Leasing.
Deregulation and the constantly changing structure of financial industries
made it difficult to construct a system among the three countries.
Therefore, agreement with Mexico for this sector reaches only to the 3 -
digit level (sub sector) for finance and 4 -digit level (industry group) for
insurance. However, Canada and the United States reached agreement
down to the 5 -digit level.
Real Estate and Rental and Leasing
This sector includes industries from Services; Finance, Insurance, and Real
Estate; and Transportation, Communications, and Public Utilities
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
Those businesses whose major input is human capital are grouped
together in this new sector. The industries within this sector are each
defined by the expertise and training of the service provider. The sector
includes such industries as offices of lawyers, engineering services,
architectural services, advertising services, veterinary services, advertising
services, and interior design services. Forty-seven industries are grouped
in this sector, 28 of which are new.
Administrative and Support; Waste Management and Remediation
Services
This sector includes industries from Services; Transportation,
Communications, and Utilities; Construction; and Agriculture, Forestry, and
Fishing
Educational Services
Health and Social Assistance
This new sector recognizes that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish
between the boundaries of health care and social assistance; therefore,
NAICS groups these industries together in a new Health and Social
Assistance sector. The industries are grouped in order from those providing
the most intensive type of health care to those providing minimal health
care with social assistance to those providing only social assistance.
There are 39 industries in this new sector, 27 of which are new. Some of
the new industries include HMO Medical Centers, Family Planning Centers,
Blood and Organ Banks, Diagnostic Imaging Centers, Continuing Care
Retirement Communities, and Community Food Services. The sector also
includes ambulance services transferred from Transportation,
Communications, and Public Utilities.
Accommodation and Food Services
This sector includes lodging from Services and food services from Retail
Trade
Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation
littp://www.naics.com/info.htin 9/6/2007
NAICS Association - information
Those businesses engaged in meeting the cultural, entertainment, and
recreational interests of their patrons are grouped together in this new
sector. Casinos and other gambling businesses are recognized for the
first time in NAICS, as are historical sites and sports teams and clubs. In
all, there are 25 industries in the sector, most of which are new -- 19 in
all. While most of the industries in the sector come from the SIC Services
division, others come from Retail Trade and Finance, Insurance, and Real
Estate.
Other Services
This sector includes industries from Services; Agriculture, Forestry, and
Fishing; Manufacturing; and Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate
Auxiliary Establishments
Auxiliary establishments are those establishments that primarily produce
support services for other establishments of the enterprise. Generally,
these support services are not intended for use outside of the enterprise.
In NAICS, these establishments are classified according to the
establishment's primary activity. For example, an establishment providing
data processing services for an enterprise is classified in NAICS 51421,
Data Processing Services. An establishment that is the head office of an
enterprise is classified in the new NAICS industry 551113, Corporate,
Subsidiary, and Regional Managing Offices. In the 1987 SIC, each of these
establishments was classified according to the primary activity of the
establishment for which the support activity was performed. In the above
examples, if those support units primarily served an automobile making
plant, the support establishment was classified in automobile
manufacturing.
The SIC, however, treated the production of goods for other
establishments of the same enterprise differently. If a manufacturing
establishment produced goods for use within the enterprise, the
manufacturing establishment was classified according to its primary
activity, not the primary activity of the establishment it served. This
different treatment of service producing versus manufacturing auxiliary
establishments was inconsistent and NAICS recognized this inconsistency.
NAICS classifies auxiliary establishments based on what they do, not on
whom they serve. The production oriented concept of NAICS mandated
this change.
This change will result in significant shifts in employment data. In 1992,
Census data showed over 1,000,000 auxiliary employees assigned to
manufacturing and over 840,000 auxiliary employees assigned to retail
trade. These employees are most likely to move to either the
Management of Companies and Enterprises sector; the Warehousing and
Storage sub sector; the Computer Systems Design and Related Services
sub sector; the Accounting, Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping and Payroll
Services sub sector; or some other services -related sub sector. For the
1997 Economic Census, these auxiliary establishments will be dual coded
by primary activity and by whom they serve. The data will be shown
separately to provide data users with the necessary links to prior
information.

Item #2: Outdoor Storage and Processing Requirements
The requirements that cover outdoor storage and processing of materials within Frederick County is
covered under The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance §165-33 —Outdoor storage and processing.
This portion of the ordinance is very vague and does not cover some of the important aspects that
pertain to outdoor storage. The ordinance currently states that outdoor storage/processing must be
"completely screened" but does not say by what or how high the screen must be. The ordinance also
does not cover what surface material the storage area needs to consist of and does not specifically
refer to any landscaping requirements.
In terms of screening of the outdoor storage lots, the proposed ordinance revision would require
outdoor storage areas to be screened by a six foot tall fence, wall, berm or by a double row of
evergreen screen. If evergreen trees are proposed for the opaque screening the trees must be 6' tall at
time of planting and be spaced no more than 8' on center.
The ordinance currently does not specify a surface material for outdoor storage. The proposed
ordinance revision would be to require the surface areas of outdoor storage areas consist of asphalt,
concrete, stone, gravel or other impervious surface approved by the Frederick County Zoning
Administrator.
Landscaping for the storage areas has become an issue and needs to be addressed as well. The
outdoor storage section ofthe Zoning Ordinance does not include provisions for landscaping, but the
of street parking; parking lots (§165-27) has a requirement that states that the perimeter of
impervious surface must provide one shade tree per 2,000sf up to I00,000sf When site plans are
submitted that have outdoor storage areas, staff has consistently been applying this section of the
ordinance to the impervious surface areas of storage lots. Recently the application of this section of
the ordinance has become problematic since the impervious surface landscaping requirement is under
the parking section of the ordinance, even though many outdoor storage areas have a large amount of
impervious surface. The proposed ordinance amendment would be added to § 165-33 and would state
that all outdoor storage areas shall provide one tree per 5,000 square feet of impervious area. The
amendment would also state that six foot evergreen trees may be provided in lieu of the shade trees
when used as part of the opaque screening for the storage area.
In regards to the size of outdoor storage areas, the Zoning Ordinance does not place a size limitation
on outdoor storage area. In doing research it is noted that some other localities have placed size
maximums on outdoor storage areas, they are as follows:
• Prince William County - No more than twenty (20) percent of the total lot area may be
devoted to outdoor storage.
• Loudoun County - Outdoor storage for permitted and/or special exception uses, not to
exceed 25 percent of the gross floor area of the principal use. No storage of any kind shall
be permitted within any required yard.
In an effort to ensure that all outdoor storage areas provide adequate screening, surface material and
landscaping, staff is requesting the DRRS consider this amendment. In considering this issue, the
DRRS is asked to address multiple points. These include:
Should the outdoor storage screening requirements be revised?
• Should the outdoor storage section be revised to include surface materials?
• Should a specific landscaping requirement be placed on the impervious surface of the storage
areas?
• Should a size limitation be placed on the outdoor storage areas?
Staff has provided a copy of the ordinance as it exists currently in the Zoning Ordinance as well as an
example of how the ordinance could be revised. If the DRRS is supportive of this ordinance
amendment, staff will forward it to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for their
consideration.

Item #3: Refuse/Trash Storage and Screening Requirements
The requirement for screening refuse containers is covered under § 165-47 Landfills, junkyards and
inoperable vehicles. The existing trash storage section of this ordinance is vague and does not have
a specific screening requirement. The current ordinance also combines residential and
commercial/industrial trash container requirements and requires them when one or more residence or
use shares a parking lot.
The intent of this ordinance revision is to separate residential and commercial trash container
requirements. Residential will still be dependant on more than one residence sharing a parking lot,
but commercial/industrial will require outdoor trash containers (or other means) for all
developments. Also, the ordinance would be revised to state that all refuse shall be contained within
a completely enclosed facility and that the enclosure shall consist of a six foot opaque fence or wall
with an opaque gate.
In an effort to ensure that all residential and commercial/industrial developments provide adequate,
screened refuse areas, staff is requesting the DRRS consider this amendment.
Staff has provided a copy of the ordinance as it exists currently in the Zoning Ordinance as well as an
example of how the ordinance could be revised. If the DRRS is supportive of this ordinance
amendment, staff will forward it to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for their
consideration.
