Before beginning the construction or major remodeling of a food service or an existing structure to be converted to a food service, a plan review fee, as provided in the Health Department Fee Schedule as amended periodically, along with properly prepared plans and specifications for construction, major remodeling or conversion shall be submitted to the Health Officer for review and approval. The plans and specifications shall indicate the proposed layout, arrangement, mechanical plans, construction materials of work areas and the type and model of proposed fixed and non-fixed equipment and facilities. No food service shall be constructed, extensively remodeled or converted except in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Health Officer. Failure to submit the appropriate plan review fee and obtain approval of construction plans prior to beginning construction, major remodeling or conversion may result in the issuance of a stop work order. A late fee will be assessed for any food service that begins construction or remodeling of a new or existing structure without first submitting properly prepared plans to the Health Officer. The late fee shall be equal to the amount set forth in the Health Department Fee Schedule. The plan review fee with the late fee shall be paid to the Health Department with the submission of the plans for review.
