Any person engaged in the rental or lease of tangible personal property not otherwise included in the measure of a license and tax by the City is also a "merchant." The owner of inventory consigned to any person within the City for sale is a "merchant." Any activity of a merchant, other than the making of sales, rentals, or leases, which is related to said sales (including, as an example, the storage of tangible personal property held for eventual sale, rental or lease) is also deemed to constitute the business of a "merchant."
Activities of a merchant which might otherwise qualify as those of a manufacturer, under the provisions of the Manufacturers' License and Tax contained in this Chapter, shall not be classified as manufacturing if, upon consideration of all known facts, they reasonably appear to be an integral part of the principal business of merchant as distinguished from a manufacturing activity related only incidentally to the business or merchant.

The definition of "value" applies to items of machinery, equipment and vehicles, accounted for individually, and also to classes of items accounted for as a group, excluding only real property. Non-productive machinery and equipment physically present in the City on the last day of the calendar year or fiscal year, not in use, but under construction or scheduled for retirement, shall be valued at ten percent (10%) of the net book value.
