I am in the South Florida area and hadn't fail an inspection on this yet, but I hear from two inspectors that receptacles within 30 inches of sink are considered to be on "wet location", therefore need to be of the weather resistance type, none of them had provided me how they got to define it that way. The closet I can find on that as a wet location is a definition from UL Standard 1598, "a location in which water or other liquid can drip, splash, or flow on or against electrical equipment", this does not mention distance. It may be from Florida Building Code, but can't find it.
