Section 911.04(2)(b)2 (see attachment #4) of the County's LDRs states that staff shall review the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code as the primary basis for determining unlisted uses, such as the "supermarket" use. When comparing the SIC code and the county's commercial use table, it is clear that "supermarkets" are to be considered a type of grocery store. In reviewing the CL zoning district list of allowable uses (attachment #2) and the SIC code's industry number classification (attachment #5), it can be seen that the lists follow one another precisely, as illustrated below. Zoning Code Use Table Category SIC Code Industry # & Reading Grocery Store 5411 Grocery Stores Meat & Fish Market 5421 Meat & Fish Market (Seafood) Inc. Freezer Provision Fruit & Vegetable Market 5431 Fruit & Vegetable Markets Candy, Nut & Confectionery Stores 5441 Candy, Nut, and Confectionery Stores Dairy Products Store 5451 Dairy Product Stores Retail Bakeries 5461 Retail Bakeries The food store uses listed in the zoning code track the SIC code industry numbers, meaning that any sub -use listed within the industry number that is not listed in the zoning code would be included and allowed under the SIC use category stated in the zoning code. In reviewing the SIC code (attachment #5), supermarkets appear as a subset of grocery stores (Industry #5411). This would be comparable to allowing a produce market under Fruit & Vegetable Markets (Industry # 5431). The SIC code clearly considers supermarkets to be a type of grocery. In using the SIC as the framework of the zoning code, it is clear that supermarkets were intended to be permitted as a type of grocery store, and that the unlisted "supermarket" use falls under the "grocery store" category. •Review of Other Characteristics Section 911.04(2)(b)2 of the LDRs (attachment #4) indicates that staff may consider other factors in a use determination. These factors include traffic generation, type of traffic, parking requirements, compatibility to surrounding uses, noise, lighting, visual impacts, hours of operation, and intensity of use. In comparing these factors for grocery stores and supermarkets, staff found no significant differences. Below is a more detailed summary of the comparison of these factors: Supermarket Grocery Parking 1 space per 200 sq.ft. 1 space per 200 sq.ft. Traffic Impact Fee $2860 per 1,000 sq.ft.; for $2860 per 1,000 sq.ft.; District 2 stores 10,000 sq.ft. or less for stores 10,000 sq.ft. or less $1628 per 1,000 sq.ft.; for $1628 per 1,000 sq.ft.; stores 10,001-50,000 sq.ft. for stores 10,001-50,000 sq.ft. Type of Traffic Primarily passenger vehicle Primarily passenger (some delivery) vehicle (some delivery) Hours of Operation 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 P.M. 9x00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. -Noise, lighting, and visual impacts are factors that are similar for the two uses. Since grocery stores/supermarkets are commonly found in association with shopping centers, these factors are affected significantly by the .size and design of the shopping center, rather than by the specific uses. 7 July 12, 1994 BOOR 92 PAGE 18(i ,j� I
