(a) Swimming Pools as Structures. Public or private in-ground or above-ground swimming, wading or other pools containing over one and one-half feet of water depth shall be considered as structures for the purpose of permits, shall not be located in front or side yards and shall conform to all required yard setback lines. Construction, plumbing and electrical requirements, inspections and other safety factors shall be regulated by relevant City and/or County codes.
(b) Enclosures. Every pool defined as a structure shall be completely surrounded by a fence or wall not less than four feet in height. Such fence shall be constructed so as to have no openings, holes or gaps larger than three inches in any dimension, except for doors or gates which shall be equipped with suitable locking devices to prevent unauthorized intrusion. An accessory building may be used in or as part of such enclosure. Pools above ground having vertical surfaces of at least four feet shall be required to have fences and gates only where access may be had to the pool.
