Plan Review
Food Facilities & Public Pools & Spas

 

As part of the licensing procedure, any retail food facility, public swimming pool, spa, or recreational aquatic feature that is built or remodeled in Sacramento County must submit plans and have them approved by the EMD Plan Review staff.

 

Plans are required to be approved prior to construction or remodel. For specific information please contact (916) 874-6010 during regular business hours.

 

Food Facility plans are reviewed to ensure that the facility will have adequate equipment and layout to allow for safe and sanitary food service, as required by federal, state and local regulations.  Plans and specifications need to be submitted to the department before construction or operation if:

  • Construction of an food establishment is proposed;
  • Conversion of an existing structure is proposed for use as an food establishment; Changes to the types of food, methods of food preparation, or style of service are proposed;
  • New equipment, flooring or finishes will be installed;
  • Old equipment will be removed or replaced;
  • Remodeling of an existing establishment is proposed; or
  • A food establishment has not been previously permitted by the program.
