Upon Board approval, this item will become effective September 25, 2013.

To align with Chairman Kunasek’s vision of “adaptive reuse”, the Department proposes changes to MCEHC Chapter VIII to create a new food service permit that may accommodate food service establishment design concepts not specifically allowed for by MCEHC regulations. The new permit type, Trial Review Establishment Permit, will allow a prospective restaurant owner the option to submit their drawings and management plan addressing any food safety and sanitation hazards not in line with regulations as a result of the establishment’s unique or novel design/layout and will be six months in duration. The Trial Review Establishment plan review fees are the same as the Chapter I Fee Schedule “Environmental Health Plan Review” fees for categories “All Other Food Special Meeting Minutes Monday, August 26, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Establishments”, “Mobile Food Establishments” and “Pushcart Plan Review” as follows: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PLAN REVIEW FEE All Other Food Establishments $615.00 Mobile Food Establishments $75.00 Pushcart Plan Review $45.00 In addition, the Trial Review Establishment permit fees are half the annual “Food Environmental Health Operating Permits” fees by class and seating capacity as listed in the Chapter I Fee Schedule as follows: (C-88-14-001-L-00) FOOD ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OPERATING PERMITS PERMIT SUBTYPE 1 YEAR FEE Adventure Food Service Class 4 $585.00 Bakery Class 2 $310.00 Boarding Home Class 2 $275.00 Boarding Home Class 5 $760.00 Damaged Food Class 4 $620.00 E&D 0-9 Seating Class 2 $260.00 E&D 0-9 Seating Class 3 $455.00 E&D 0-9 Seating Class 4 $695.00 E&D 0-9 Seating Class 5 $610.00 E&D Service Kitchen Class 2 $230.00 E&D 10+ Seating Class 2 $315.00 E&D 10+ Seating Class 3 $650.00 E&D 10+ Seating Class 4 $1,030.00 E&D 10+ Seating Class 5 $1,020.00 Food Bank Class 2 $260.00 Food Catering Class 5 $530.00 Food Processor Class 2 $260.00 Food Processor Class 4 $590.00 Ice Manufacturing Class 2 $175.00 Meat Market Class 4 $610.00 Mobile Food Unit Class 4 $610.00 Pushcart Class 3 $240.00 Refrigerated Warehouse/Locker Class 2 $265.00 Retail Food Establishment Class 3 $505.00 Retail Food Establishment Class 2 $235.00 John Kolman, Environmental Health Services, explained the proposed change to the County’s Environmental Health Code that would allow prospective restaurant owners to submit drawings outlining equipment and space configurations that deviate from the Code regulations. An example could be an establishment’s unique or novel design and/or layout as an adaptive re-use of a building. The change would be provisional and reviewed for its success in six months. After a satisfactory review the temporary permit would roll into a regular permit. Mr. Kolman said the change could allow owners to choose alternative methods or designs and still meet health safety concerns. Supervisor Chucri said the department has been working on this change for a long time and it would help restaurant owners regarding capital costs. If a problem should arise Special Meeting Minutes Monday, August 26, 2013 Page 3 of 3 the owner would have to revert back to the regulation. 2.
