Question #1: To the question #1: Is a baptismal special use pool considered to be a commercial pool?

Answer:  No.  The project in question “baptismal pool – not for use for bathing or swimming” falls outside the scope of the definition for “Public Swimming Pools” as defined in Section 424.1 of the 2010 Florida Building Code (FBC), Building and therefore it is not subject to the provisions of Section 424, Swimming Pools and Bathing Places (Public and Private) of the FBC, Building.

Question #2: To the question #2: Does this special use pool require a 48-inch high fence? If the answer to question 1 is that this is not a commercial pool then this would have to be classified as a residential pool.  The code is very clear that an approved ASTM F 1346 cover can be used on a residential pool to comply with 42.2.17 through 424.17.3.

Answer:  No.  The project in question “baptismal pool – not for use for bathing or swimming” falls outside the scope of the definition for “Private Swimming Pool/Residential” as defined in Section 424.2.2 of the 2010 Florida Building Code (FBC), Building and therefore it is not subject to the provisions of Section 424.2, Private Swimming Pools, of the FBC, Building.

John O’Conner made a motion to accept the staff analysis as presented, seconded by Mark Pabst.  Vote taken unanimous approval.
