114380
. (a) A person proposing to build or remodel a food facility
shall submit complete, easily readable plans drawn to scale, and
specifications to the enforcement agency for review, and shall
receive plan approval before starting any new construction or
remodeling of a facility for use as a retail food facility.
(b) Plans and specifications may also be required by the
enforcement agency if the agency determines that they are necessary
to ensure compliance with the requirements of this part, including,
but not limited to, a menu change or change in the facility's method
of operation.
(c) (1) All new school food facilities or school food facilities
that undergo modernization or remodeling shall comply with all
structural requirements of this part. Upon submission of plans by a
public school authority, the Division of the State Architect and the
local enforcement agency shall review and approve all new and
remodeled school facilities for compliance with all applicable
requirements.
(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the Office of Statewide
Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) shall maintain its primary
jurisdiction over licensed skilled nursing facilities, and when new
construction, modernization, or remodeling must be undertaken to
repair existing systems or to keep up the course of normal or routine
maintenance, the facility shall complete a building application and
plan check process as required by OSHPD. Approval of the plans by
OSHPD shall be deemed compliance with the plan approval process
required by the local county enforcement agency described in this
section.
(3) Except when a determination is made by the enforcement agency
that the nonconforming structural conditions pose a public health
hazard, existing public and private school cafeterias and licensed
health care facilities shall be deemed to be in compliance with this
part pending replacement or renovation.
(d) Except when a determination is made by the enforcement agency
that the nonconforming structural conditions pose a public health
hazard, existing food facilities that were in compliance with the law
in effect on June 30, 2007, shall be deemed to be in compliance with
the law pending replacement or renovation. If a determination is
made by the enforcement agency that a structural condition poses a
public health hazard, the food facility shall remedy the deficiency
to the satisfaction of the enforcement agency.
(e) The plans shall be approved or rejected within 20 working days
after receipt by the enforcement agency and the applicant shall be
notified of the decision. Unless the plans are approved or rejected
within 20 working days, they shall be deemed approved. The building
department shall not issue a building permit for a food facility
until after it has received plan approval by the enforcement agency.
Nothing in this section shall require that plans or specifications be
prepared by someone other than the applicant.
