§ 19.12.010. Finding of facts.  


Latest version.
  • The board of supervisors finds that there is a large number of privately owned decorative pools, ponds and other artificially created bodies of water that are not intended for swimming or recreational bathing within the county and that the maintenance of such bodies of water without adequate supervision or protective measures constitutes a severe hazard to the safety of the inhabitants and particularly to the small children of the unincorporated territory of the county.

    Swimming pools or pools intended for swimming or recreational bathing, including but not limited to in-ground and above-ground structures, hot tubs, spas, portable spas and non-portable wading pools are not subject to the requirements of this chapter. Swimming pools or pools intended for swimming or recreational bathing shall be subject to the requirements of Section 3109.4.4 - Private Swimming Pools, of Chapter 31 of the 2016 California Building Code (Title 24, Part 2) of the California Code of Regulations, as adopted by Section 19.04.010 of this code.
