Agenda Item Id: ES-2025-001 PUBLIC AND SEMI-PUBLIC BATHING PLACES – VARIANCE PROCESS PROPOSED REVISIONS TO CHAPTER VI, SECTION 1 OF THE MARICOPA COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH CODE ATTACH THE DOCUMENT ENTITLED: ES-2025-001_BOS_Staff Report.pdf to the SOLAR ENTRY. Setting of Hearing: August 20, 2025 Hearing Date: September 10, 2025 Case Number: Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program (EROP) Case ES-2025-001/Public and Semi-Public Bathing Places – Variance Process Action Requested: Pursuant to A.R.S. §36-184(B)(5) and §11-251.05 set a public hearing for September 10, 2025, to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed revisions to Chapter VI, Section 1 of the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code (MCEHC) to update requirements for pool variances. Updating these provisions will align MCEHC with the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.). MCEHC allows a variance only for requirements that are more restrictive than the A.A.C., while the A.A.C. allows for a variance upon demonstration by an applicant that an alternative design, material, appurtenance, or technology is equivalent to a requirement in code. This alignment will provide customers with regulatory clarity and remove the narrower parameter for which a variance can be requested. Convene Action Requested: Pursuant to A.R.S. §36-184(B)(5) and §11-251.05, convene the scheduled public hearing to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed revisions to Chapter VI, Section 1 of the MCEHC, which will update requirements for pool variances [ES-2025-001 Public and Semi-Public Bathing Places: Variance Process] to provide customers with regulatory clarity and remove the narrower parameter for which a variance can be requested. This item will become effective immediately upon the Board of Supervisors' approval. Board Required Information: The Maricopa County Board of Health (BOH) reviewed proposed revisions to update the Maricopa County Environmental Health Code (MCEHC) Chapter VI, Section 1 [Public and Semi-Public Bathing Places: Variance Process] and approved the case for the EROP expedited process at a public meeting on July 28, 2025.
