ArranQeaents for ShlD~lnQ and TransDort: SIC 473 <br />Section 6-400, Table A Commercial (pgs. 37-40): This SIC listing <br />is specifically described as "Arrangement of Transportation of <br />Freight and Cargo." Due to problems with heavy truck traffic <br />that has been generated by businesses in this SIC category, it <br />was proposed to move the entire listing out of General Commercial <br />and into the Industrial Tables. Concern was expressed that <br />although this move would help alleviate the truck problem, it <br />would also completely bar transport related businesses from the <br />City's commercial districts. The Commission directed staff to <br />explore the possibility of moving the majority of SIC 473 <br />Industrial Table A while "carving out" certain activities to be <br />retained as Permitted G.C. uses. A listing of all 473 activities <br />follows: <br /> <br />Agents, shipping <br />Auditors, freight rate <br />Brokers, shipping <br />Brokers, transportation <br />Consultants, tariff <br />Custom house brokers <br />Custom clearance of freight <br />Domestic forwarding <br />Foreign Forwarding <br />Freight agencies, railroad: Not operated <br />by railroad companies <br />Freight consolidation <br />Freight Forwarding <br />Freight Rate Auditors <br />Freight rate information service <br />Shipping documents preparation <br />Tariff consultant <br />Tariff rate information service <br />Shipping documents preparation <br />Transport clearing house <br />Transportation rate services <br /> <br />It would appear that the majority of activities listed <br />above, although often terminal or warehouse related, can be <br />operated without generating truck traffic. While staff is <br />prepared to discuss "carving up" the listings, a practical <br />solution may be a "dual" listing of this use category. <br />
