In order to distinguish between District businesses and for the purpose of calculating and applying the amounts of assessments owed, the following definitions shall apply:

"Retail Businesses" include all businesses not covered by other definitions set out in this section, at least 50% of whose gross income is derived from "retail sales" as that term is defined under the California Sales and Use Tax Law. The fact that a substantial part of its business consists of sales other than retail sales does not exclude said business from this classification so long as such other business component does not account for more than 50% of said business’ gross income.

"Restaurant Businesses" include cafes, eating establishments, sandwich shops, dinner houses, restaurants and fast food services and other similar businesses.

"Lodging Businesses" include inns, hotels, motels, RV Parks and other similar businesses.

"Service Businesses" include general office, news and advertising media, printers, photographers, personal care facilities and outlets, entertainment uses, service stations, repairing and servicing businesses, renting and leasing businesses, utilities, vending machine businesses, household finance companies, and other similar businesses.

"Professional Businesses" include attorneys, architects, accountants, engineers, surveyors, physicians, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, therapists and others in a medical/health service field, consultants, real estate brokers, financial advisors, laboratories (including dental and optical), hearing aid services, artists and designers.

"Financial Businesses" include banks, savings and loans, credit unions and other similar businesses. (Ord. 6787-NS § 2, 2003)
