The plan review process is designed to ensure that construction complies with the applicable health codes, and that we are able to license the resultant facility. Failure to apply for Health Department Plan Review prior to construction may result in work being redone. All applications, fees, etc. will still be required. Many local building departments (including the City of Portland) require a Multnomah County Health Department Plan Review prior to issuing building permits.  \nThe Plan Review process involves two steps: The first step is an evaluation of plans in the Environmental Health office. Second, the on-site pre-opening inspection ensures that the construction is done according to the submitted plans. If construction is in compliance with the Environmental Health codes then we will give our permission to open. All construction must be signed-off by the appropriate local government agencies prior to opening. Within approximately two weeks of opening the area Environmental Health Specialist will perform an unannounced scored inspection.  \nRestaurant Plan Review Requirements  \nORS 624.630 requires that plans be submitted for review when a food service establishment is constructed or extensively remodeled. All construction must conform to OAR 333-150-0000 as printed in the “Oregon Food Sanitatian Rules” published by the Oregon Health Authority.
