transportation of the products.

Answer 27

Question 30

Processing and Manufacturing

Some activities _______________alter material and so may not constitute manufacturing
or processing.

In order to be “processing”, the activity must (1) make goods more ____________and
(2) change their __________ or nature. For instance, merely cutting carpet or
repackaging tiles and hardwood flooring is not “processing” of those products.

Stabilizing hazardous waste before it is disposed of in a landfill is not “processing of
products”. Conducting laboratory tests of biomedical specimens is not “processing
of products”.

Something that is marketable should result from the processing activity. Otherwise,
the activity is not processing “of products”. The products should be tangible,
physical property (e.g., medical test results are not a “product” for the purposes of
Class 05).

Manufacturing requires fabrication by hand or machine of a thing from raw or
prepared materials, by giving them new forms, qualities and properties. If materials
are only minimally altered by the activity (e.g., engraving, imprinting logos on a t-shirt,
photocopying, repairing or altering clothing, etc.), that does not constitute
“_______________”.

Answer 30

minimally
marketable
appearance
Manufacturing

Question 31

Sales Outlets to Purchaser for Purchaser’s Own Consumption and
Not for Resale in Same or Any Other Form

If a property is used principally as a sales outlet of finished products to consumers
for their ___________ and not for the consumer to resell, then the property is excluded
from Class 05. In such cases, Class 06 is appropriate.

A grey area may be a business that could be considered a Class 05 activity in some
circumstances but not others. For example, a printer who prints books, pamphlets
and other printed materials at an industrial printing facility would generally be
regarded as Class 05, but a storefront photocopy business that copies and binds
reports, documents and other printed materials would be Class 06. The distinction
occurs because in the former case, the property is not primarily a ___________,
whereas in the latter case it is.

By legal policy, a sales outlet is a definable area whose primary purpose is sales.
For example, a showroom at a business that sold roofing supplies at wholesale
prices to construction contractors was “primarily a sales outlet”. The storage
ancillary to that sales outlet was excluded from Class 05 because the sales were to
the purchasers for their own consumption (i.e., consumption in their businesses).

Although the contractors charged their clients for the roofing materials, it was not
considered to be “reselling” the products in the same or any other form.
A property where raw materials are sold to a manufacturer or processor who
incorporates those raw materials into a finished product would constitute sales to a
consumer for resale in another form. _________ would apply.

Answer 31

own use
sales outlet
Class 05

Question 32

Extracting, Processing, Manufacturing or Storage of Food, Nonalcoholic
Beverages or Water

Premises used for the manufacturing, processing or extracting of food, nonalcoholic
beverages and water are excluded from ___________

If the Class 05 activity is transportation of food, non-alcoholic beverages or water,
the _____________ portion of the property will be in Class 05 but any storage of
such products will be excluded from Class 05.

Where the food product is retained on the premises for a very short period of time_______________, the product
may not be stored so as to be excluded from Class 05.

If it is impossible to discern which part of the property is used for the storage of
food/non-alcoholic beverage/water as opposed to other types of products (e.g.,
because other products are stored on-site without any specific area delineated for
various products) then consider the ___________________ of the property and classify
accordingly.

Answer 32

Class 5
transportation
(less than 72 hours)

Question 33

Gathering Pipeline:

Answer 33

“a pipeline used for the transportation of natural gas from a wellhead
to the intake valve at a scrubbing, processing or refining plant which precedes
the transfer of gas to a transmission line or a distribution line, or petroleum or a
petroleum product from a well-head to the intake valve at a refining, processing or
storage facility which precedes transfer of the petroleum or petroleum product to a
transportation line.” – B.C. Reg. 438/81

Question 34

Ancillary to

Answer 34

Providing essential support to a central service or industry, Aiding; assisting, auxiliary, Subservient, subordinate [to] … a secondary matter or event follows a primary matter or event.

The secondary matter or event cannot come into existence until the primary matter or event exists … the ancillary
matter is something grafted on to the primary matter.

Question 35

Business of transportation by railway

Answer 35

95 percent of the freight moving through a trans-loading facility is
transported by rail either onto or off of the site. The business is
dependent upon and relies on the railway for its success and would
likely not exist in that location but for the proximity to the railway.

The property’s use helps, serves, or supplements the business of
transportation by railway and is used for purposes ancillary to the
business of transportation by railway.

In addition, the land is owned by a railway corporation and leased for
use as a trans-loading facility to get customers for the railway, directly
aiding, serving or supplementing the business of transportation by
railway. The property is leased for use as a trans-loading facility to get
customers onto the railway. The owner holds the property for purposes
of, or for purposes ancillary to, the business of transportation by
railway.

Question 39

Gathering Pipeline

Answer 39

… a pipeline used for the transportation of
(a) natural gas from a well-head to the intake valve at a scrubbing,
processing or refining plant which precedes the transfer of gas to a
transmission line or a distribution line, or

(b) petroleum or a petroleum product from a well-head to the intake
valve at a refining, processing or storage facility which precedes
transfer of the petroleum or petroleum product to a transportation line.

Question 40

Held for

Answer 40

Land may be held for a Class 05 purpose if it is reserved for an
industrial purpose in the future. It may also be “held for” a Class 05
purpose if it the area is intended to be for future expansion of the light
industrial activity.

Question 41

In conjunction

Answer 41

action of joining

Question 42

a transportation use will be found when the property in
question is used as a part of a__________________________. … it
would [not] be accurate to characterize retail customers attendance at
the property to pick up product they had purchased to be a form of
“transportation” in any commercial sense.

When a retail customer, or even a contractor, collects flooring product from the property, they are
not participating in an ongoing chain of transportation. Once received
by the end user, the transport of the product has come to an end. It is
important … that there is no evidence that there are ________________
incurred by the appellant when the product leaves the property in
these circumstances as would have been the case for the commercial
transport trucks collecting freight from the distribution warehouses in
2725321 Canada Inc. and the Kebet Holdings decisions. In those
cases, it is clear that the chain of transportation is continuing.

Answer 42

larger chain of transportation, freight fees
