Food Plan Review Application Process The enclosed application and checklist are designed to guide you through the plan review process. When do I need to apply? You must turn in an application before you: Start a new food business in a new or existing building. Remodel or change a current food business. Reopen a food business that has been closed for more than 30 days. Change your menu. Change the commissary of a mobile food unit. Before you apply: Contact your local building, planning and zoning departments for additional requirements. (Common contacts are provided in the Agency Resource List included in this packet.) Inquire about any grease trap requirements. Get your Washington State Business License. You can apply online at www.bls.dor.wa.gov. Complete the Water Adequacy Verification or Application in this packet. Complete the Sewer/Septic Verification in this packet. How long will the process take? Our goal is to email approval or ask additional questions within 10 business days of receiving your food application. How much will it cost? Plan review and permit fees are listed on the back of this sheet. The remodel fee only applies when proposed changes will not require a new permit and the facility has not been closed for more than 30 days. What happens once I’m approved? We’ll email an approval letter and send a copy of the letter to the building department. The letter will include the annual permits you need and the fees you must pay. Once you complete construction you must schedule a pre-opening inspection at least five business days before your opening date. One pre-opening inspection is included in your plan review fee. Additional pre-opening inspections will require a re-inspection fee. What else should I know? • Plan review fees are non-refundable. • A plan review fee is required for each operating permit you need. If you have questions, contact Plan Review at (253) 798-4711. • Operating permits expire January 31 each year. • Do not purchase equipment or begin construction until we approve your plan in writing. st • Facilities found operating without pre-opening approval are subject to additional fees. • Find applications at www.tpchd.org/planreview Questions?

To avoid a delay in the approval of your application be sure to review the following information and answer the attached questions. Before applying for an annual permit, find out if a Temporary Food Establishment permit will meet your needs. Check out www.tpchd.org/tempfoodpermit or call (253) 798-4709 for more information. General Requirements for Mobile Food Units All mobile units must have a commissary kitchen. The commissary kitchen is an approved food establishment where food is stored, prepared, portioned or packaged to be served somewhere else. The mobile unit must return to the commissary kitchen each day. Use of a commissary kitchen outside of Pierce County is not allowed. Be sure to complete the Commissary Kitchen Agreement form. The commissary kitchen must provide the following: • • • • • • • • Potable water Cooking equipment (as necessary) Mop sink Restrooms 3-compartment sink for dishwashing Garbage disposal Food preparation sinks (as necessary) Backup refrigeration (as necessary) Mobile units must be clearly marked with the name of the food establishment in a location visible to customers. All food, equipment, utensils, paper products, water tanks and cleaning supplies must be stored on the mobile food unit or in the commissary kitchen. No additional tables, storage or cooking equipment (smoker, barbeque) are allowed off the frame of the mobile food unit. A garbage container must be provided for waste generated by the mobile food unit operation. Mobile food units must maintain their mobility and return to the commissary kitchen daily for storage and cleaning. Alternative servicing locations may be allowed but must be approved in advance by Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. A copy of the mobile food unit approval letter must be kept with the mobile food unit and be available for the inspector. Food preparation (including, but not limited to, cutting, chopping, slicing or similar food preparation activity) will not be allowed on the mobile unit and must occur at the commissary. Mechanical refrigeration is required for all food that must be kept cold. Food that must be kept cold for safety must be kept at 41°F or below. Thermometers must be visible in all refrigeration units. It is required to pre-chill refrigeration units prior to loading food. One ice chest is allowed for storage of beverages that do not require refrigeration. Food & Community Safety 3629 South D Street, MS 1059 Tacoma, WA 98418 F:\LIBSHARE\F&CSAFE\Admin\Forms\Plan Review\Mobile Unit Requirements.docx (253) 798-6460 www.tpchd.org Rev. 12/165 Page 1 of 4 Equipment used to keep food hot must maintain 135°F or above. Mechanical units are required, either powered by propane, electricity or generators. It is required to pre-heat hot holding units prior to loading food. All potentially hazardous food that is kept hot must be served the same day. Cooling and reuse of leftover hot food is not allowed. Hot food must be discarded at the end of each day. Equipment for reheating must rapidly reheat food within one hour. Hot holding of reheated food is not recommended. Reheating “to order” is a safer method and may be required. Barriers or dividers must be provided to separate customers from grills, steam tables and other hot or dangerous equipment. Condiments must be served in single-service packages or squeeze bottles. If condiments are not available in single service packages or cannot be served in bottles, they may be served in bulk. Condiments served in bulk must be protected by a sneeze guard and must not require refrigeration. All food must be protected from contamination. Work areas, food and single-service items must be protected from customer contamination by sneeze guards, dome lids or other approved means. If a vertical sneeze guard is used, it must be at least 60 inches high (measured from the ground). Detailed preparation steps are needed for all food items. Include what food preparation and handling occurs at the commissary kitchen and what occurs at the sales site. Be sure this information is included with your Food Preparation Steps. A handwash sink must be provided. The handwash sink basin size must be at least 10 inches by 10 inches by 5 inches deep. Handwash sinks must be easily accessible and cannot be located underneath counters or in locations that make access difficult. If the sink is installed on a slide-out drawer it must be locked in an open position when food is prepared or served. A hot water heater must be installed and able to provide hot water (100°F or above) to all sinks. The water system must have a mechanical pump capable of pressurizing both the hot and cold water systems to 15 psi. The pump must turn on and off automatically. Use of a pump switch each time the system is used is not permitted. Fresh water tanks and all piping/tubing must be made of food grade materials. Food grade hoses must be used to fill fresh water tanks. The connection to the wastewater tank must be easy to connect/disconnect and must not leak. All sink basins must have rounded corners to allow for easy cleaning. The number of menu items may be restricted due to mobile food unit size limitations. In addition to Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department plan review and permitting requirements, there may be other permits you are required to have before opening your business. Please see the Agency Resource List. • Local building officials may require you to apply for a “land use” permit for your sales site(s). Contact the city or jurisdiction where you want to place your mobile unit. • Fire Department approval and permit is required if you will be using liquid propane, charcoal, wood or oil frying equipment. • State and local business licenses are required.
