I. Introduction
,.� As the principle or key element of the Comprehensive Plan, the
Future Land Use Element sets forth the intended physical
development pattern for the City of Clermont. The Future Land Use
Element is to provide long-range guidance for orderly growth by
designating appropriate location for future land uses and setting
forth specific, goals, objectives and policies that will assist in
governing the distribution and development of those uses. - In
•� devising the plan for new growth, various factors such as density
and intensity of existing land use, existing and proposed
infrastructure, annexation patterns, and current trends are
examined to provide the basis for future planning directives.
The Future Land Use Plan Element, which establishes policies for
directing future growth, sets the framework for, and must be
consistent with, all other Comprehensive Plan Elements.
The Future Land Use Map, which is to be adopted along with the plan
goals, objectives, and policies, graphically illustrates the
proposed location and distribution of land uses until the year
2001. All policies contained within the land use plan, as
determined from other plan element research and directives, must be
ism consistent with the Future Land Use Map.
In conformance with Section 163.3202, F.S. , within one (1) year
.. after submission of the comprehensive plan, each jurisdiction must
adopt or amend and enforce land development regulations that are
consistent with and implement their adopted comprehensive plans.
The City of Clermont Land Development Regulations shall rely
heavily on the adopted Land Use Plan and Land Use Map for the
rational basis in the amendment and adoption process.
+" The Future Land Use Element is a mandated Element. The minimum
criteria to be contained within this element is established by
Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. This Plan Element has been formulated to meet
r•-■ those specified criteria as well as relevant sections of Chapter
163 , Part II, F.S. , the State Comprehensive Plan, and the
Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan, as adopted.
II. Inventory and Overview
The City of Clermont is located on the Palatlakaha Chain of Lakes
•� in central, south Lake County. It is about 30 miles west of
Orlando and 50 miles south of Ocala. The City has developed around
one major State route, S.R. 50, and one Federal Highway, U.S.
Highway 27. It has a City Council - City Manager form of
government and has been a principal business center since its
incorporation in 1884. According to the latest estimate from the
University of Florida, Bureau of Business and Economic Research the
population is approximately 6,642 persons.
.• I- 2
m.
The economic base of Clermont was originally formed by the
agricultural industry. More recently, the services, trade and
.. construction industries have become more important economic
sectors. This shift is largely in response to outward growth of
the greater Orlando SMA and the influx of retirees settling in the
0. area who increase demand for new housing, retail trade and
services.
Economic restructuring and urbanization was also spurred by the
— succession of severe freezes which occurred during the mid and
latter 1980's. For all practical purposes this has put the local
citrus industry out of business and opened vast acreage for future
,.., development. The mining industry has remained a vital occupational
and economic resource as the clay and sand extracted in the
adjacent County mine operations are used heavily in both the local
and regional construction industry.
0.
The City currently encompasses approximately 6.8 square miles of
land area. Of the approximate 4, 324 acres within the City, only 42
.• percent are presently devoted to an existing, designated urban land
use; approximately one-half or 50.4% are recorded as open land,
with the remainder as either water or wetland areas.
'` Residential properties comprise approximately 21% of the existing
land use, and in descending numerical order of land classification,
roads and highways are 12%, public/quasi-public grounds and
►- facilities (including schools, recreational facilities,
communications and utilities, churches and clubs) occupy 5%,
commercial and professional office uses are 3%, and industrial uses
utilize .7% of urbanized land area.
The land use pattern of the City can most easily be described by
use of the physical parameters which essentially separate Clermont
"+ into four definable segments. These physical elements are S.R. 50
which traverses the City in an east-west direction, and U.S.
Highway 27 which runs in a north-south direction.
P"
Generally, the area lying north of S.R. 50 and east of U.S. 27 is
characterized by open land that has been recently annexed and is
awaiting future direction for development. However, portions of
two of the City's existing commercial nodes extend into this area,
and some linear residential development appears along one of the
principal collectors.
..
The first commercial area is located at the intersection of S.R. 50
and U.S. 27. This is part of the much larger highway commercial
lift node that is located around the entire intersection. The other
commercial node is located at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Grand
Highway, near the boundary with the City of Minneola. This
commercial area is presently oriented more to accommodation of
'r tourists in search of local attractions, general services or
lodging.
"' I- 3
.r
The existing residential development is a mixture of single and
multi-family housing. It is principally located between U.S. 27
and Grand Highway, with access on Grand Highway only. Additional
multi-family is in the process of development adjacent to the
existing areas, and vacant property extends northward to the
commercial node.
The remainder of the land in the northeast portion of the City are
properties that have been recently annexed. A small City/County
industrial node is emerging along Mohawk Road and the remainder of
the land is vacant.
r• The segment of land lying south of S.R. 50 and east of U.S. 27 is
a sparsely developed mixture of commercial, residential and vacant
properties. No single land use predominates in this area
presently.
Commercial development occurs on both U.S. 27 and S.R. 50; however,
it is limited in magnitude. It presently extends only a short
distance south of the intersection of Hook Street on U.S. 27. ; and
occupies approximately the same acreage east of Grand Highway on
S.R. 50. Vacant properties, including a small lake and wetland
area, make up the majority of land between the commercial areas.
Housing is spare and indiscriminately located on interior roadways.
WA The section of the City lying south of S.R. 50 and west of U.S. 27
is an older portion of Clermont which borders Lake Minnehaha along
its length. It can generally be characterized as being predom-
.r inately residential in nature although commercial, professional
office and institutional land uses appear in certain locations
along S.R. 50. The City,s newest and largest recreation facility
is located adjacent to the Palatlakaha River at the west boundary.
The existing commercial land uses mainly occur around two major
intersections, C.R. 561 and S.R. 50, and U.S. 27 and S.R. 50.
,.. However, some less intensive commercial and professional office
uses are also situated in a random pattern between the two
commercial nodes.
Residential development is principally conventional built, large
lot construction, although the City's two existing mobile home
parks are located in the section. Emerald Lakes Mobile Village is
situated on Lake Palatlakaha at the west City boundary and the
smaller Minnehaha Trailer Park is located on Hook Street nearer to
the east side and U.S. 27. Only a few vacant parcels of any size
Pft remain for development. Infilling of remaining platted lots will
continue as the predominant development pattern.
P+
I- 4
r
The new City recreation facility, the Palatlakaha Recreation Area,
encompasses approximately 30 acres adjacent to Lake Palatlakaha and
lJ the Emerald Lakes Mobile Village along the west City boundary.
Further phases of the facility will utilize the expansive wetland
areas associated with the lake for passive recreation purposes.
The final section of the City to be inventoried is the oldest
portion of Clermont. It is situated north of S.R. 50 and west of
U.S. 27. This portion of the City is bordered by Lake Hiawatha,
U Lake Minneola and the City of Minneola. It is a complete mixture
of land use types and includes the City's established Central
Business District.
All City educational facilities are located in the northeast part
of this area. Clermont Senior High School and the elementary
school lie adjacent to each other near the intersection of East and
Pitt Streets; the middle school is approximately 8 blocks southeast
of the high school on Disston Street. The larger parcels of open
land remaining for development in this section of the City are
situated adjacent to or near the senior high and elementary school
sites. Jaycee Beach, Clermont's second largest recreation
facility, is also established in this same general area.
Commercial land uses principally occur around the node at the
intersection of U.S. 27 and S.R. 50, and in the Central- Business
District. Some less intensive commercial activity is located at
..a various sites along S.R. 50. The Central Business District is
principally situated around Montrose Street between Lake and West
Avenues. The hospital and associated medical office complex is
directly south of and adjacent to the CBD.
Residential land use in this section of the City is all
conventional construction and appears on smaller lots than those in
the southwest portion. A larger number of the existing multi-
family dwellings are also located in this area of Clermont. The
residential uses are dispersed around and between the various
rcommercial, institutional, and industrial sites.
The small, existing City industrial area principally lies along and
between 12th Street and West Avenue, northwest of the CBD. There
flare no large parcels of open land remaining for further expansion
of industrial activities occurring in this area; only limited
redevelopment is likely to transpire.
The extreme northwest edge of the City contains some residential
uses, the wastewater treatment plant, ball fields, and continuation
of the expansive wetland associated with the Palatlakaha River.
( Further development for any purpose is very limited.

III. Description of Land Uses
To quantify the existing land use within the City of Clermont, the
fl City retained the services of the East Central Regional Planning
Council to collect, tabulate, and map appropriate land use data
from on site surveys and aerial photographs for each "land use cate-
r' gory. Verification and updating was then conducted through the
efforts of the City Planning Department. This information has been
summarized in Table I-1 and is graphically displayed on Map I-1.
The ECFRPC utilized the 1976 version of the Florida Land Use and
Cover Classification System historically devised and utilized by
the Florida Department of Transportation for thematic mapping
I purposes. - This land use, vegetation cover and land form
classification system is arranged in hierarchical levels with each
level containing land information of increasing specificity. The
�
system provides an- -important -step toward development of a
Li geographic data based information system. The system also provides
a useful structure of land concepts of properties. Yet, it does not
collect or analyze information of offer conclusions.
[1
Tables I-1 and 1-2 have been provided to indicate the acreage
contained by category, and then the density or intensity of those
uses for further analysis purposes. Projections for "future land
acreage utilization, based upon a per capita land use acreage rate
of use to the year 2001, are presented later in this element.
rlThe methodology utilized assumes a constant ratio of population to
land use category distribution based on University of Florida,
B.E.B.R. estimates and DCA approved population projections to the
year 2001.
A. Residential Land Use
(1 The residential land use category includes single family units,
multi-family dwellings and mobile home parks. It does not include
campgrounds, RV parks or RV spaces within mobile home parks,
hotels, motels or other transient housing, all of which are
classified as commercial structures.
As indicated on Table I-1 and Map I-1 the majority of the 879 acres
L in residential use is for single family occupation. Multi-family
is second and mobile home parks is by far the lowest in acres
utilized.
When reviewing the Existing Land Use Map (Map I-1) and then
utilizing S.R. 50 and U.S. 27 as City division lines, it becomes
apparent that the largest percentage of residential use lies in the
southwest part of the City. Single family development is also the
predominant pattern in the northwest sector; little residential
rl development has occurred in the northeast or southeast areas of the
City.

B. Commercial Land Use
f: This category includes offices, stores, hotels, motels, shopping
centers, auto sales and auto service establishments, restaurants,
grocery stores and other such commercial and service industries
involved in the retail and/or wholesale business trade.
Currently, there are 142 acres of land designated for commercial
use. There are presently 3 commercial nodes established within the
City; however, limited amounts of strip commercial development
occur along both arterial roadways entering the City, and less
r: intensive commercial appears in various places along S.R. 50.
C. Industrial Land Use
c This category embraces those land uses where manufacturing,
assembly or processing of materials or products are accomplished.
According to acreage figures provided in Table I-1, industrial land
use occupies only 31 acres of property within the City boundaries.
This translates into approximately .007% of all land use types
considered by this plan.
The largest concentration of properties devoted to industrial use
occur in the vicinity of 12th Street. The group of businesses near
this location account for approximately 28 of the 31 acres in this
category. The OHM plant on Mohawk Road is the only other
industrial use designated with the City.
D. Agricultural Land Use
This category usually applies to land that is used for food and
fiber crop production and other supportive uses; land used in
silviculture production and harvesting or land that has previously
been agriculturally productive and is presently lying fallow until
time for the next planting or crop rotation cycle.
There is no acreage presently devoted to agricultural lands
currently within the City boundaries. Assuredly a vast majority of
City land was once utilized for citrus production; however, since
the severe freezes of the mid-1980's this property has been
converted to other uses or is lying fallow awaiting market
direction for other land use application.
r=,
E. Recreational Land Use
This category includes all land used for neighborhood and community
parks within the delimited City boundaries. It does not include
recreational facilities at the educational institutions; they are
included in the educations, public buildings and grounds and other
[" public facilities land use category.
I- 9
rj
r
Typical recreational facilities provided, include tennis courts,
baseball diamonds, equipped play areas, and picnic facilities.
As discussed in the Recreation and Open Space Element, the City
contains 2 large community parks (Palatlakaha Recreation Area and
Jaycee Beach Park) . In addition to these sites there are 13 other
community recreation parks and 7 City park and open space sites.
Exclusive of the Clermont school facilities, local residents are
still provided with over 88.2 acres of recreational land use within
easy reach of all City residents.
riF. Conservation Land Use
Areas designated as conservation lands usually include wetlands,
ri public-managed lands, floodplains and flood-prone areas,
.sinkhole-prone areas and other areas where valuable natural
resources may be found. When considering the hilly topography and
urban nature of the City only limited wetland areas and flood-prone
lands can be considered for conservation purposes. However, the
existing Comprehensive Plan did not designate any areas for
conservation purposes; therefore, Table I-1 reflects the current
disposition of conservation areas occurring in the City. Maps I-2,
I-3 and I-6 identify the locations of each of the land use types
that should be designated for conservation use. Map I-14 is a
composite of the potential conservation areas. The predominant
area for conservation is the extensive wetland area associated with
the lakes and Palatlakaha River that forms the west boundary for
the City.
G. Public Facilities Land Use
This category has been subdivided into two basic subcategories:
the first is public buildings and grounds, educational
institutions, and other public facilities. This subcategory
includes all City and county administration buildings, public
safety and protection facilities, public utilities and maintenance
facilities, post offices, libraries, all educational institutions,
and other public facilities. The second subcategory includes
highways and roads, and the associated rights-of-way of each.
The first subcategory of public buildings and grounds, educational
institutions and other public facilities encompasses 143 acres of
rl land. The second subcategory of roads and right-of-way account for
approximately 533 acres of land area.

H. Historic Resources
As part of the Clermont centennial celebration in 1984, the City
began a partial survey to identify buildings, sites and districts
of historic significance to the City. By the conclusion of this
.. preliminary survey the association had identified 17 sites which
date before the 1930's.
These areas comprise approximately 9 acres of land area and have
been included in the acreage figures under the residential
category. Please refer to Map I-18 for potential historic
.„ structure locations.
I. Vacant and Undeveloped Lands
The vacant and undeveloped land use category has been utilized only
on the Existing Land Use Map and on Table I-1 of existing land use
acreage figures. The total for all types of open space is 2181
,., acres; this category constitutes approximately 50% of all land use
acreage within the City.
Many of the parcels in this land use category lie along S.R. 50, in
the northeast section of the City. These sites consistently adjoin
large vacant County properties therein providing extensive acreage
for future development. Several large vacant parcels also appear
•- in the northwest section of the City between East Avenue and U.S.
27. However, these properties are routinely surrounded by
previously developed residential properties which would indicate
.s preferential future residential land use. The final area
exhibiting large acreage availability is in the southeast part of
the City. Adjacent land use is a mixture of single family and
commercial development which provides direction for further
"' commercial activity as part of the expanding commercial node around
the intersection at S.R. 50 and U.S. 27. However, all vacant land
within the City should be carefully evaluated to provide densities
.. and intensities consistent with that of an urban environment
wherein necessary services and utilities can be provided in the
most effective, efficient and economical manner.
`.. IV. Natural Resources and Features
The City of Clermont, being an urban center, is not overly endowed
PO with natural resources in the sense of having large forests or
mineral deposits which could be enhanced for the growth of forest
products or mining related industries. Soils are an important
• , factor only when related to potential suitability for septic tank
use and load bearing capacity for new structures and not in
utilization for agricultural pursuits.
OM
'Oft I- 13
Pm
n
However, the City does contain several natural amenities such as
the rivers and resort lakes that are designated "Outstanding
Florida Waters" which assist in making it a regional tourist
rl attraction. The local wetlands are an important factor when
considering the stormwater cleansing and storage functions they
perform prior to acceptance by the receiving water body, and the
eventual relationship they form with groundwater quality. These
areas when combined with adjacent County jurisdictional areas may
also provide large areas of open space to supply habitat for
�t proliferation of fauna and flora.
The City also possess other aesthetic amenities such as its tree
lined streets of stately oaks and hilly terrain which breaks the
visual monotony of the neighboring coastal plains and flatlands.
These natural features provide the City with its greatest resource;
the ability to draw and provide the increasing populations with a
ribeautiful setting in which to reside and raise their families.
A. Topography and Climate
nThe City of Clermont is located in South Lake County on the
11 westward edge of the Lake Wales Ridge. It is one part of a much
larger promontory ridge line that projects westward from a series
of hills and ridge lines known as the Central Florida Highlands.
Extending along a general north-south axis from the Georgia State
line to near Lake Okeechobee, these higher elevations are
characterized by steep-sided depressions, dry-bottomed sinkholes,
and many small ponds and lakes. This type of physiography is known
as Karst topography.
Land surface elevations within Clermont range from a low of
approximately 81 feet above sea level along Lake Charles, up to an
elevation in excess of 300 feet in the northeast section of the
City that has been recently annexed. However, the majority of the
City is at elevations of approximately 125-150 feet above sea level
and relief is not as pronounced as the extremes described
previously.
�J The City is bound by surface waterbodies and associated wetlands of
varying magnitude on three sides. These waterbodies are components
[7 of a group of interconnected lakes commonly referred to as the
Clermont Chain of Lakes. The City is partially bordered on the
south by Lake Minnehaha, on the west by the Palatlakaha River
including Lakes Palatlakaha and Hiawatha, and on the north by Lake
Minneola. The entire chain of lakes and connecting waters have
been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) pursuant to the
requirements and procedures contained in Chapter 403 Florida
Statutes and Chapter 17-14 Florida Administrative Code. This
designation, granted by auspices of the Florida Environmental
Regulatory Commission, is intended to provide an additional measure
of protection for the excellent water quality conditions that
presently exist within the system.
I- 14
t7
.r
The climate of Clermont is mild and subtropical in nature, subject
to winter variations and prevailing gulf winds. The annual average
temperature is about 72 degrees F* and temperatures in January and
July reach about 73 degrees F* and 91 degrees F*, respectively.
The annual average rainfall is about 51 inches. Approximately 60
percent of the rainfall occurs during the summer, June through
September, with the remaining 40 percent being evenly distributed
during the remainder of the year.
B. Water Resources
P,,,, 1. Surface Water
The rivers, lakes and wetlands that occur in and adjacent to the
City have been identified on the Existing Land Use Map, and on
other pertinent maps that are contained within this element. These
waters are extensively used for recreational purposes such as
fishing, boating and swimming. The quality of these lakes,
... therefore, must be taken into account.
As indicated previously, the large lakes that form much of the City
boundary are included on a list of Outstanding Florida Waters. In
POO
order to obtain this status, an extensive, cooperative study was
completed in 1983 for the purpose of determining whether the major
lake system would be eligible for addition to the OFW list. At
that time, the water in the lakes was determined to be of very good
quality, this reflects other historical data indicating water
quality has been stable for the past twenty years.
r- In addition to the major lakes and connecting waters which define
three sides of the present City boundaries, there are approximately
fifteen smaller water bodies within the current City limits.
Several of these lakes were previously surrounded by citrus groves,
and as a result appear to be in a eutrophic condition (high levels
of plant nutrient minerals and low levels of oxygen) . It is hoped
that with the loss of the surrounding citrus, implementation of the
stormwater utility program, and then given appropriate time for
natural restoration to occur, these resources will return to a
r-
profitable and beneficial use.
2 . Groundwater
m. The primary source of groundwater for the City, County, and
essentially the entire north-central part of Florida is the
Floridan Aquifer. This feature is a series of hydrologically
r„ significant sedimentary deposits through which groundwater moves in
a natural distribution system to all parts of the region.
Replenishment of this resource is by rainfall which eventually
makes its way from the earth's surface through the soil, sub-soils,
.� I- 15
n
fland assorted voids to the aquifer. The quality of water in the
aquifer varies from well to well; however, according to monitoring
agencies the water quality in this portion of the County and Region
is considered fair to good.
Water quality in the Upper Floridan Aquifer is primarily influenced
n by the chemical nature of precipitation that infiltrates land
L) surface, the composition and solubility of earth materials coming
in contact with the water, and chemical properties and
fl characteristics that the soluble earth materials impart to the
water over the time of contact. The water quality of the system is
also influenced by surface water with direct recharge via solution
features and other direct connections such as aquifer outcrop areas
F near rivers, streams and swamps. Generally, water quality
deteriorates at depth, toward coastlines, and in riverine, swampy,
lowland areas. Fortunately, the City of Clermont lies at the
approximate center of the Lake Wales Ridge, which is the dominant
17 _ physiographic feature in south Lake County. The entire ridge
allows good hydraulic connection to the Floridan Aquifer.
Areas of high recharge are generally a combination of where the
confining unit is absent, discontinuous or breached, where the
water table is at a significantly greater elevation than the
potentiometric surface of the aquifer, and areas where the aquifer
system is overlain with relatively permeable soils. As cited
previously, these conditions are characteristic for the City of
rClermont and the Lake Wales Ridge.
The two important indicators of groundwater availability are
thickness and recharge potential. Thickness of the Upper Floridan
near Clermont is estimated to be between 1750 and 2000 feet, and
�J recharge rates are indicated to be 6 to 14 inches per year on the
Lake Wales Ridge. Maps I-5 and I-6 illustrate these generalized
features in the Middle St. Johns River Basin.
The combination of highly permeable soils, good hydrologic
fl connection with the aquifer, strategic elevation above the
potentiometric surface, practical application of water conservation
best management practices, and other well formulated water
conservation practices should continue to provide good water
r quality and quantity for the City. A further, indepth discussion
LJ of hydrologic features is contained in the Conservation Element.

C. Soils and Minerals
.. The soil groups found in Clermont are basically of three general
types; each directly correlates with the topography of the area.
The soils overlying the upper elevations in the central and extreme
east part of the City are members of the Astatula, Lake and Lucy
Pim
Series. All characteristically demonstrate sandy, well-drained
soils, the primary difference being in the amount of slope or
relief of the area involved.
Those areas lying along the Palatlakaha River to the west and Jacks
Lake in the east, coincide with the low relief, wetland members of
Pm the Brighton Series, and the Placid and Myakka Series,
respectively. These areas have poorly to very poorly drained soil
characteristics. The principal difference between the two wetland
soil groups is the Brighton Series consists of fibrous, organic
materials most often associated with aquatic (lake and riverine)
habitats, whereas the Placid and Myakka Series are sandy soils
associated with the wet, upland ponding communities and expansive
• • flatwoods environments. Although other dissimilarities exist
between these major soil types they are subtle in nature and
primary characteristics are still applicable. Map I-7 illustrates
the principal soil groups occurring within the City.
r
Septic tanks and their associated drain fields are normally sited
based upon ambient soil conditions. Suitability is determined
r• after examining the soil for various attributes: texture, subsid-
ence, flooding, depth to bedrock or confining layer and high water
table, permeability, slope, percentage of stone material, downslope
movement, and formation of pits. A composite of these attributes
is used to formulate a general limitation rating of a soil type for
septic tank system usage. The rating of soil limitation for septic
tank systems are expressed as slight, moderate or severe.
Those soils generally found within Clermont and their potential
suitability for septic system use are provided as follows:
Pm
Dominant Soil Types
Soil Degree and limitation on
'm types septic absorption fields
Astatula slight to moderate
gm Brighton very severe
Lake slight
Lucy slight
p. Myakka severe
Placid severe
Ona severe
Immokalee severe
p.
Map I-8 indicates those areas suitable for septic systems.

Water and wind are the major causes of soil erosion, transport and
deposition. The wind or eolian forces have very little, if any,
effect in Clermont as wind erosion is more normally associated with
drought conditions. Fortunately, erosion is not a serious problem
for the greater percentage of the City. According to City and
local SCS officials, the critical areas are primarily confined to
sites immediately adjacent to certain smaller sinkhole lakes in the
central and northeast part of the community. These areas have
steep slopes that generally correlate with the Astatula (AtF) and
Lucy (LaE) designations indicated on the soil survey map.
Nevertheless, individual projects in other parts of the City could
potentially cause significant harm if erosive conditions are left
unchecked. This is true even of small development sites, where the
exposure of bare soil to a few weeks of heavy rains may cause
sedimentation problems in surface waters or in drainage systems.
4-' Map I-9 identifies those areas in the City that .may have potential
for soil erosion problems.
E All commercially valuable minerals are required to be analyzed in
order to delineate potential areas of mining activity. The mineral
deposit maps used for data collection were derived from the Florida
Mining Atlas: A Guide to Mined Resource Management. This
information was of limited use because it was generated for the
greater Lake County area and not for use at the City level.
Therefore, specific mineral deposits for Clermont have not been
•+ precisely mapped because available data is at such resolution that
it precludes the transfer of such data to a City scale map.
There are however three commercially valuable minerals indigenous
to Lake County; sand, clay (including kaolinite) and peat. The
sand is of such grade that it is used for the production of glass
and concrete. The clay is usually mined for road construction, and
peat is used in various plant growing applications.
Although clayey-sand was indicated as a principal area resource,
both sand and clay are the locally known commercially valuable
minerals. Historically, clay has been mined at various locations
within the City limits. Presently however, there are no active
mines within the City boundaries. There are four active mines near
the City; three clay mines operate east of Clermont, and one sand
mine is in production west of the existing City limits. Map I-10
has been provided for reference purposes only.

D. Wetlands
LJ The City of Clermont contains a large number of lakes both within
and adjacent to the City limits. All of the lakes have wetland
areas of varying magnitude adjacent to them.
Lj The largest and most pronounced wetland areas are located on the
west side of the City. These are expansive marsh areas that occur
{^1 along the channelized portion of the Palatlakaha River which
LJ interconnects Lakes Minnehaha and Minneola. Both Lake Palatlakaha
and Lake Hiawatha form an integral part of this section of
waterway.
These wetland resource areas function as necessary sites for flood
storage, water purification, vegetative and wildlife habitat,
wildlife corridors as well as serving recreational and commercial
uses. The natural and manmade stormwater conduits that traverse
these lowland areas also play an indispensable role in carrying
water and nutrients to the lakes and rivers of the Oklawaha Basin,
the St. Johns River and ultimately to the Atlantic Ocean.
If the vital and necessary natural and economic functions of these
areas are to continue, realistic growth impact mitigation measures
and conservation practices must be provided to protect the
resources.
Map I-12 identifies the wetland areas occurring within Clermont.
E. Flood Plains And Flood Hazard
LFloodplains are those areas which become inundated by water on a
regular, recurring basis. The most familiar floodplains are those
u associated with permanent bodies of surface water, such as lakes
and rivers. Following large rainstorms, the surface of these water
bodies increases in elevation and floods low-lying adjacent lands.
por Floodplains are described according to the frequency with which
they are inundated. As an example, the annual floodplain is the
elevation to which water rises, on average, every year during the
wet season. Although floodplain's are usually associated with
permanent surface waters, some areas which appear "dry" most of the
time may flood after large storm events and therefore may be
included in the floodplains of lower return frequency (e.g. , 50
year, 100 year floodplains) .
J The City of Clermont has in the
y past been subject to some limited,
periodic flooding in the lower elevations of the City, especially
near the Emerald Lakes Mobile Village. However, with changing
development patterns and more impervious surface replacing former
agricultural and natural floodplain areas, this situation has
potential to become more pronounced.
E 1- 27
0
One approach to alleviate this problem has been advanced by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency in the form of the National
Flood Insurance Program. The National Flood Insurance Program is
a part of a comprehensive approach by the federal government to
reduce flood damage and to cope with the disastrous effects of
floods. It is designed to protect human safety and property, to
minimize the disruption of lives and businesses, and to provide
reasonable compensation for loss and damage to property.
In enacting the National Flood Insurance Program, Congress changed
the direction of the government's attempts to mitigate flood
disasters. Rather than expand existing programs of disaster relief
or enlarge flood control programs, it initiated an entirely
different approach in an attempt to institute long-range solutions
to the problems. The National Flood Insurance Program is a broad
approach which integrates several alternatives for addressing flood
damages on a community level. The program provides insurance that
offers financial relief to property owners and calls for land use
regulations to promote safe development of the floodplain.
r Map I-11 has been provided to show Clermonts principal drainage
basins, and Map I-13 identifies areas in the City designated by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as flood hazard areas.
This designation is based upon the 100-year flood level which means
that a flood has a one percent (1%) chance of occurring in any
given year.
The stormwater management/floodplain regulations for the City have
been revised to reflect recent changes in federal regulations.
Further protective measures for City residents are forthcoming in
a the form of an overall City stormwater drainage study and adoption
of a Master Drainage Plan. Other devices for protection will come
with mandated changes in the City's development codes, which will
FIJ take into account impervious surface ratios and stormwater
detention/retention requirements.

V. Analysis
flThis section of the Future Land Use Element summarizes existing
conditions and identifies potential' development trends. The actual
plan for managing projected growth and development will be based on
these analysis.
The analysis to be conducted will be approached from both the
natural or physical view and from manmade conditions which will
affect potential growth and development.
n A. Existing Conditions and Trends
Li This segment of the analysis will briefly examine the existing
conditions and trends as related to population, the economy, and
development patterns.
1. Population Patterns
The population of Clermont has been -steadily increasing over the
past 30 years; however, the per capita and percentage rate of
growth differs significantly between each of the decades reviewed.
1
The decade from 1950 through 1960 saw 1145 new residents settling
in the City. This represented an increase of approximately 52%
over the existing population.
The decade from 1960 through 1970 added 348 new residents settling
in the City. This represented an increase of approximately 11%
l over the existing population.
The decade from 1970 through 1980 increased by 1800 new residents
according to the 1980 Census. When compared with the 1970 figures
this provided over a 49% increase.
Currently, according to the University of Florida, Bureau of
Economic and Business Research estimates, - the City has received
1181 new residents which translates to a 22% increase to date.
�1 Recognizing that it is a difficult task to extract exact numbers
from what- can at best be called an inexact science, the City staff
in coordination with the DCA has attempted to better try to
quantify actual number growth for future planning purposes for the
periods 1991 through 2001. This was done utilizing statistical
methodologies of estimating and projecting the City population
r: according to accepted BEBR and DCA procedures.
This involved using a combination and averaging of two techniques;
the Mathematical Extrapolation and Ratio methods. The Mathematical
Extrapolation technique uses historic data to determine patterns of
growth which can be plotted or arranged to define a trend.
0 I- 33
I
n
rp
The Ratio method is based on a relationship of one set of data to
a larger, second set of data; in this case the medium range
0- population projections for Lake County were utilized as the second
data source. After determination of these two sets of numbers, the
results were averaged to moderate any extremes and to compensate
pr,. for invalid assumptions in either of the techniques.
After review of the results from both approaches, the differences
in numerical values were somewhat discernable; therefore, averaged
AM. estimates and projections provided in Table I-3 will be used for
planning purposes. Seasonal Population estimates and projections
are provided in Table I-4, and cumulative population estimates and
.•. projections can be found in Table I-5; the methodology utilized can
be found in Appendix A of this element.

rI 2 . The Economy - Yesterday and Today
The City of Clermont was originally founded on the emerging
agriculture, lumber, and ranching industries of the late 1800's and
early 1900's; slow steady growth and economic advancement has
continued to date.
The real estate and tourism booms of the 1950's helped establish
the City as a financial and commerce center for the south Lake
County area. Steady economic advancement was significant enough to
bolster erection of a shopping center during the 1960's. The
1970's and 80's have seen a continuation of this pattern with
r7 infilling of additional commercial businesses along all arterial
routes entering the City; the most pronounced development expanding
into a commercial node around the intersection of U.S. 27 and S.R.
50. Further expansion is continuing at a steady pace, especially to
the east and southeast.
However, the economic base for growth has changed significantly
since original incorporation. More recently, the services, trade
[i and construction industries have become more important economic
sectors. This shift is largely in response to outward growth of
the greater Orlando SMA and the influx of retirees settling in the
9I area who increase demand for new housing, retail trade and
LL �� services. Although a large segment of the increased population is
retirees from the north and mid-west, a reasonable number are
migrating from south Florida in search of the quality of life that
drew them to that area originally.
Economic restructuring and urbanization was also spurred by the
succession of severe freezes which occurred during the mid and
latter 1980's. For all practical purposes this has put the local
citrus industry out of business and opened vast acreage for future
�Jdevelopment. The mining industry has remained a vital occupational
J and economic resource as the clay and sand extracted in the
adjacent County mine operations are used heavily in both the.local
and regional construction industry.
3. The City Growth Pattern
The development pattern in and around the City of Clermont may be
described by two commonly occurring development patterns: radial
growth and concentric ring growth. Radial growth can be described
as development occurring along transportation routes fanning out
from a central core. This is occurring around the City with U.S.
27, S.R. 50, south Lake Shore Drive, and C.R. 561 forming the
f7 "fingers of growth" which are rapidly being developed. The
concentric ring concept describes a situation where settlement
occurs uniformly around a dense City center. In this example,
density of settlement increases with proximity to the center and
r' conversely declines as one moves out from the center.
1_ 38
41
n1
These concepts, combined, explain the phenomenon of development
occurring along arterials at greater density and intensity closer
�I to the City and at lesser density and intensity further out.
J
When originally incorporated in 1884, the City boundaries extended
approximately one (1\2) mile in each direction from the current
City Administration Building. Today, when viewing the Existing
Land Use Map (Map I-1) , a combination of the development patterns
cited above are apparent. Further, when reviewing recent
annexation patterns, the radial pattern of development is
significantly apparent in the east and southeast sectors of the
City. Recognizing large amounts of land, with only limited
(1 problems for development, lie in these two directions, a
continuation of this form of development should occur.
Critical discussions and formal agreements with Lake County must be
forthcoming to ensure the vital issues for planned growth and
development are addressed.
4. Housing Trends and Redevelopment Programs
1l r The number of housing units in the City as of September 1990 was
2, 971 units. This count is based upon the 1980 census and
(7 residential inspection data of the County building department and
ECFRPC. A total of 616 housing units were built since the census
report in April of 1980.
The changes in housing patterns identified in the 1980 Plan is
continuing. In 1980, the housing stock of the City consisted of
5.7% mobile homes. In 1990 this figure has remained constant at
approximately 5.4%. The percentage of single family type homes
decreased from 67.7% in 1980 to 62.4% in 1990. Multi-family type
housing increased from 26.4% to 32.0% during the same period.
On the whole, the condition of housing in Clermont is considered
rl quite good. There are no conditions of blight, which provides the
connotation of large areas of substandard housing, occurring any
f7 where within the City. There is a need for revitalization of
certain structures indiscriminately located along S.R. 50, Chestnut
Street, and in the Lincoln Park area (approximately 31 units in
total) . In furthering efforts to provide safe, sanitary and
affordable housing for all local residents, the City has applied
for and received a CDBG grant to help alleviate these conditions.
The activities to be funded by this program include rehabilitation
of housing and new construction, where and if warranted. Continued
enforcement of the City's Housing Code will also assist in
conservation of the existing housing stock.
�j Redevelopment activities, including elimination or reduction of
uses inconsistent with the communities character and proposed
future land uses, is more formally presented in Section VII, "The
Plan" part of the element analysis. Essentially, the City has not
developed at such a rapid pace that an abundance of land use
1- 39
ri
r�r
inconsistencies have developed. The prior existing comprehensive
plan has been modified at various times to reflect demonstrated
changes in community direction and policy as a result of changing
growth patterns.
The most discernable change has occurred along S.R. 50 due to it
becoming a prime traffic mover between the east and west coasts and
the direct link with the Orlando SMA. Initially, this area was
predominantly residential in nature. However, with the various
FDOT road improvements and increasing number of vehicles utilizing
this route the land uses have slowly evolve toward institutional,
professional office and commercial uses. Infill of certain
r] properties and redevelopment of others will be accomplished through
adoption of the future land use map which fundamentally stays
unchanged from that existing at, this time.
B. Natural Conditions Affecting Development
When looking at potential development of a parcel of property, one
of the principal considerations is the natural conditions that are
endemic to that particular site. To primarily rely on site
modification instead of proper investigation and planning often
17 results in adverse and sometimes severe impacts to the surrounding
environment, increased development costs which can make the
development prohibitive and doom the finished project to financial
failure, or possibly result in a development that is unattractive
or devoid of visual amenities.
J
Fortunately, the City of Clermont has very few naturally occurring
conditions that are overly prohibitive to future development. Most
LJ areas, with proper investigation and pre-planning can accommodate
development that will benefit both the developer and the consumer.
Maps I-7, I-9 and I-13 provide generalized areas where soils, slope
and/or flood hazard may become problematic.
1. Soils and Slope
A relatively in depth discussion on soils, soil associations and
their relationship to soil type and degree of slope has been
previously presented in section IV(C) of this element. However,
for reference purposes the following soil types are those which may
demonstrate severe problems for development due to wetness and/or
slope are the Brighton Series (Br) which has very severe
("1 limitations, and the Myakka (Mk) , Ona (On) , Immokalee (Is) and
Placid Series (Pg, PmA) which show severe limitations for
development.
The map symbol nomenclature provided directly correspond with the
generalized soils as illustrated on Map I-7 of this element. It
should be noted these are "generalized soils" from the Soil Survey
of Lake County and specific on-site inspection should be standard
procedure if actual development is intended to occur.
t`"'' 1- 40
fa'
Our
Further, utilization of proper engineering techniques and
landscaping techniques in association with Best Management
{ Practices during and after construction phases should effectively
mitigate problems associated with slope.
(7 2. Flood Prone Areas, Development and Redevelopment
Section J-5.006(2) (e) requires an analysis of proposed development
j1 and redevelopment of flood prone areas. Map I-13 graphically
illustrates the generalized flood zones within Clermont as defined
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which administers
the National Flood Insurance Program. The Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) Community Panel Number 120133 0001B provides a detailed
- analysis of the areas officially delineated for potential flood
hazard. This was the source utilized in preparation of Map I-13.
Boundaries delineating the 100-year flood zone cover only a
relatively small area within the City due principally to the abrupt
r7relief that occurs adjacent to the waterbodies. These areas
essentially correspond with the wetland areas contiguous to the
three major lakes and Palatlakaha River that border the western
part of the City and those areas around the small lakes that appear
I on the City interior.
Map I-1, Existing Land Use, and Map I-13, 100-Year Flood Plain
Areas, indicate that urban development has had very limited
encroachment in the 100-Year Flood Plain. The primary reasons for
this were early regulation for stormwater management, mandatory
f; setback requirements for placement of non-water dependant
structures, stringent subdivision and development regulation which
took into account the unique characteristics of wetlands and flood
plain areas, and City ownership of resource-based parks which occur
adjacent to many of the waterbodies.
Stormwater Management and Flood Control regulations already exist.
f7 These will be reviewed and revised in accordance with Level of
Service Standards adopted in various elements of this Plan.
However, the present rules and regulations governing stormwater
abatement and development mechanisms required quired of new construction
are considered adequate to protect the City's naturally occurring
resources. The City uses the 10 year - 2 hour design storm event
(7 as its standard for drainage capacity calculations and designs.
Consequently, all stormwater facilities must be designed to retain
the runoff produced from 3 1/2 inches of rainfall with a positive
r7 outfall. The on-site drainage systems for each development must
also be designed to reduce post-development discharge volumes to
pre-development rates, based on the volume of runoff produced from
the 50 year 24 hour storm event.
n 1- 41
n
Any development that impacts the portion of the City which drains
into the Clermont Chain of Lakes must also comply with the
Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) requirements contained in Chapter
40C-42 Florida Administrative Code, as administered by the St.
Johns River Water Management District. Rule 40C-42.025 (10) F.A.C.
requires that, in addition to other design criteria, stormwater
`\ drainage facilities which directly discharge into OFW designated
� ' waterbodies must also provide for an additional level of treatment
equal to 50 percent of the required treatment criteria.
flThe subdivision code of the City of Clermont, Chapter 20, contains
several sections pertaining to drainage and stormwater management.
(7 Section 20-5 requires drainage data to be included as part of the
preliminary plan submittal, and Sections 20-6 and 20-7 require such
data to be included in improvement plans. Section 20-11
establishes design standards for subdivisions; several of these
fl - address proper drainage facilities. Section 20-12 authorizes the
City to monitor construction to determine that proper procedures
are , followed. The drainage standard contained in this section is
for rainstorms of two-hour intensity based on a ten-year interval
j for the central Florida area using U.S. Weather Bureau data.
Ordinance 255-C under the Code of Ordinances of the City of
f: Clermont addresses flood prevention. The purpose of the ordinance
is to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in
flood-prone areas. This is accomplished through regulation of
fl first floor elevation requirements, floodproofing requirements and
restrictions on interference with movement and volume (storage) of
flood waters.
Further protection is afforded by Chapter 17-25, F.A.C. , the
"Regulation of Stormwater Discharge" that carries out the
requirements of Chapter 403, F.S. , which gives authority to the
Department of Environmental Regulation to set minimum criteria for
water quality (both surface and ground waters) . Additional
direction of this regulation states that " No discharge from a
stormwater discharge facility shall- cause or contribute to a
violation of water quality standards in waters of the State". This
rule further indicates that best management practices shall be used
in the control of erosion and sedimentation during construction.
Therefore, the direction the City should take is to conduct a
complete inventory of the drainage system that presently occurs
fl within the City. This information should then be augmented with
similar data provided by adjacent Cities and the County in order to
complete a master "regional" drainage plan. A scenario can then be
developed to identify existing deficiencies -and develop cognitive
priorities to ensure water quality and quantity will be preserved.
In coordination with information obtained from the drainage study,
the City will include retrofitting portions of the existing
�J drainage system that may require such attention. The adopted
1_ 42
1
lJ
.r
Stormwater Utility will be utilized for this purpose. This action
can help relieve any intermittent stormwater ponding problems, and
further ensure that the quality of OFW waters will be protected for
aesthetic, recreational and commercial purposes.
Upon =formal adoption of this comprehensive plan, industrial and
(7 commercial development shall be prohibited from encroachment in
designated conservation areas (e.g. wetlands and 100-year flood
zones) . In order to avert the potential issue of "taking", Only
existing single-family residential subdivisions platted prior to
� I the formal adoption date of the comprehensive plan shall be allowed
construction encroachment in the designated conservation areas and
fl only upon the demonstrated necessity that the site cannot be
functionally utilized (setbacks and minimum dwelling unit size)
without such encroachment. Encroachment shall be restricted to 25%
f- of that portion of lot occurring within the 100-year flood plain;
wetland areas shall not be encroached upon. Physical construction
shall occur only in conformance with the established high water
mark setback requirements adopted in the City land development
regulations (e.g. 25 feet from the established high water mark) .
Subdivisions platted after formal adoption of this comprehensive
plan shall be prohibited from encroachment in all designated
conservation areas.
This multifaceted approach for development and redevelopment of
flood plains establishes management techniques through adoption and
implementation of the Future Land Use Plan, Conservation Plan, and
mandated Land Development Regulations.
C. Vacant and Undeveloped Land Suitability for Development
L Section 9J-5. 006(2) (b) requires an analysis of the character and
magnitude of existing vacant or undeveloped land in order to
determine its suitability for use based on soils, topography,
natural resources and historic resources. This subsection of the
Future Land Use Element will provide that information.
f7According to Table I-1 there are approximately 2, 181 acres of open
land available for use within the City that have not been
identified as water or wetlands. The greatest percentage of these
areas have been indicated on the Existing Land Use Map (Map I-1) as
the items in the "190" category which designate the various forms
of open land. Approximately 1700 of these acres lies east of U.S.
27 and north of S.R. 50 in one large accumulation of fallow land.
The next largest parcel, approximately 220 acres, lies north of
Pitt Street and the existing school complex, just west of U.S. 27 .
L The remaining acreages are indiscriminately located throughout the
City in parcels of varying size. The overwhelming majority of this
acreage is former upland orange grove property that was destroyed
during the severe freezes of the mid-1980's and is no longer
intended for agricultural use.
1- 43

LJ A cursory review of Section IV of this element, which provides an
indepth description and discussion of the City's natural resources
and features, indicates Clermont as having areas of varying relief
r; due to its location on the western edge of the Lake Wales Ridge.
Land surface elevations within Clermont range from a low of
approximately 81 feet above sea level along Lake Charles, up to an
elevation in excess of 300 feet in the northeast section of the
City that has been recently annexed. However, the majority of the
City is at elevations of approximately 125-150 feet above sea level
fl and relief is not as pronounced as the extremes described
previously.
L) The soil groups found in Clermont are basically of three general
types; each directly correlates with the topography of the area.
The soils overlying the upper elevations in the central and extreme
�1 east part of the City are members of the Astatula, Lake and Lucy
Series. All characteristically demonstrate sandy, well-drained
soils, the primary difference being in the amount of slope or
[7 relief of the area involved.
Those areas lying along the Palatlakaha River to the west and those
directly adjacent to Jacks Lake in the east, coincide with the low
relief, wetland members of the Brighton Series, and the Placid and
Myakka Series, respectively. These areas have poorly to very
poorly drained soil characteristics. The principal difference
between the two wetland soil groups is the Brighton Series consists
of fibrous, organic materials most often associated with aquatic
(lake and riverine) habitats, whereas the Placid and Myakka Series
are sandy soils associated with the wet, upland ponding communities
and expansive flatwoods environments. Although other
dissimilarities exist between these major' soil types they are
subtle in nature and primary characteristics are still applicable.
Map I-7 illustrates the principal soil groups occurring within the
1 City.
Fortunately, erosion is not a serious problem for the greater
j percentage of the City. According to City and local- SCS officials,
the critical areas are primarily confined to sites immediately
adjacent to certain smaller sinkhole lakes in the central and
northeast part of the community. These areas have steep slopes
that generally correlate with the Astatula (AtF) and Lucy (LaE)
designations indicated on the soil survey map. Map I-9 identifies
those areas in the City that may have potential for soil erosion
[1
problems.
The City of Clermont contains a large number of lakes both within
and adjacent to the City limits. All of the lakes have -wetland
areas of varying magnitude adjacent to them. The largest and most
pronounced wetland areas are located on the west side of the City.
These are expansive marsh areas that occur along the channelized
portion of the Palatlakaha River which interconnects Lakes
I- 44
1I
n
Minnehaha and Minneola. Both Lake Palatlakaha and Lake Hiawatha
form an integral part of this section of waterway. Map I-12
identifies the wetland areas occurring within Clermont.
Li
Floodplains' are those areas which become inundated by water on a
regular, recurring basis. The most familiar floodplains are those
associated with permanent bodies of surface water, such as lakes
and rivers. Following large rainstorms, the surface of these water
bodies increases in elevation and floods low-lying adjacent lands.
C` Although floodplain's are usually associated with permanent surface
j waters, some areas which appear "dry" most of the time may flood
after large storm events and therefore may be included in the
floodplains of lower return frequency (e.g. , 50 year, 100 year
LLL floodplains) .
Map I-11 has been provided to show Clermonts principal drainage
basins, and Map I-13 identifies areas in the City designated by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as flood hazard areas.
This designation is based upon the 100-year flood level which means
that a flood has a one percent (1%) chance of occurring in any
given year.
The stormwater management/floodplain regulations for the City have
been revised to reflect recent changes in federal regulations.
Further protective measures for City residents are forthcoming in
the form of an overall City stormwater drainage study and adoption
of a Master Drainage Plan. Other devices for protection will come
with mandated changes in the City's development codes, which will
take into account impervious surface ratios and stormwater
detention/retention requirements.
There is currently no housing listed on the Florida Master Site
File or the National Register of Historic Places as historically
s significant, nor are there any known significant archaeological
sites indicated by Florida Department of State, Division of
Historical Resources within the City of Clermont. Map I-18 and
Appendix B provides an inventory of potential historical structures
r:
that merit further review for preservation purposes, and goals,
objectives and policies within this and other elements of the plan
include protective measures for historical resources.
Based upon the data, inventory, analysis and maps presented within
this element and research materials and information provided in
others, cognitive conclusion for placement of future development
should be able to be ascertained. The two areas of the City with
the greatest amount of vacant land (approximately 1900 acres) for
potential development lie proximate to U.S. 27 and north of S.R.
50. These are former upland grove areas where the most pronounced
restraint to development will be mitigation of problems associated
with slope. When looking at the portion of the City that has
rf already developed these same conditions exist, and upon inspection,
aesthetically pleasing results have occurred without serious,
r: 1- 45
I �f
n
adverse consequence. Protective measures presently existing,
others called for by the goals, objectives, and policies of this
plan, and those to occur with adoption of mandated land development
regulations should serve to appropriately conserve and protect the
natural environment while allowing productive growth.
VI. Man-made Conditions Affecting Development
Inventorying the availability of facilities as identified in the
Traffic Circulation, and then the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste,
Drainage, Potable Water, and Aquifer Recharge Element is the
purpose of the following analysis. Each facility has been examined
,..� according to its available capacity to serve the existing land uses
and the ability to serve land uses for which development orders
have already been issued.
The Traffic Element presents residual capacities for State owned
roadways where historical traffic counts were available for
capacity analysis. The City has not routinely collected traffic
counts for City owned roadways, therefore availability analysis is
limited to "State and County owned" arterial and collector roads.
The Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and
L' Aquifer Recharge Element provides existing and residual capacities
for the sanitary sewer, solid waste, and potable water sub-sections
of the element. The natural aquifer recharge can not be evaluated
in terms of available capacity and therefore the concept does not
apply. The available drainage capacity will not be presented here
because the existing basins and City owned drainage system have not
been adequately surveyed for its storm event capacity.
A. Traffic Assessment
�I Table I-6 presents the functional classification, existing capacity
and other pertinent information on roadways within the City.
The volume to capacity ratios in Table I-7 gives an approximate
statement of "how full" an existing roadway is and projected to be
by the end of the planning horizons. For instance S.R. 50 from the
City west urban limit (WUL) to the east urban limit (EUL) has a .56
volume to capacity ratio which expresses the notion that the
segment of roadway is 56% full. Since each roadway or segment may
have a different maximum number of trips permissible at .a given
level of service, the v\c ratio should be deducted from 1.00 to
j^ express the additional number of trips which could be added to the
L roadway at peak hour to equal the roadway's capacity at the adopted
level of service.
As the values for the number of available trips at peak hour
indicate, there are no roads or segments presently constrained or
indicated to be constrained within the adopted planning timeframes
of the City. Map I-15 illustrates the existing traffic circulation
J system of the City.
r1- 46
lJ
r
r
Additionally, the City has inventoried its existing local street
system. Although a level of service is not required nor intended
for these facilities, the review provided is indicative of the good
condition of the system. An indepth discussion and analysis of the
total system is provided in the Traffic Circulation Element of this
r- plan.

Pm B. Potable Water Assessment
The City of Clermont has a "looped" central drinking water system
which provides potable water to all City residents. All of the
water needed by the City is supplied by three wells; the Seminole
Street well, the Fourth Street well and the Grand Highway well.
The Grand Highway well and the Fourth Street well have auxiliary
Pm
engines, which would allow them to be operated in the event of a
power failure. A fourth well site has been designated in the
Lakeview Hills subdivision and will be brought on-line upon
Pm demonstration of necessity.
There are two elevated water storage tanks in the City; a tank with
Mft a capacity of 100, 000 gallons is located on Highland Avenue, and a
500, 000 gallon storage tank is located at the corner of Highland
and Bloxam avenues.
The service area for the water system is the entire incorporated
City; no area outside of Clermont is provided drinking water. The
present City policy is to annex adjacent areas before granting
water services. In the 17-year period from January 1973 to
December 1989, the number of water connections increased from 1,716
to 2,723 , an increase of 63 percent.
..
Clermont owns and maintains all potable water system components
including the wells, storage tanks, transmission mains,
distribution system, and meters.
Pm
The combined capacity of the three water wells is 6.8 million
gallons per day (mgd) . The Seminole Street well had a capacity of
.• 1200 gallons per minute (gpm) until 1985, when a new well house,
new pump motor and bowls increased the capacity to 1625 gpm. The
Grand Highway well has a capacity of 1500 gpm, and the capacity of
the Fourth Street well is 1650 gpm. Therefore, a maximum of 4,775
m.
gpm (e.g. 6.876 mgd) can be pumped from the City's three wells.
Map I-16 shows the potable water system for the City.
Table I-8 shows the current and projected demand on the potable
water system in Clermont. The average daily demand for water was
1.46 million gallons and peak demand for one day was 1.9 million
gallons. The existing level of service is expressed as gallons per
capita per day (gpcd) and is derived by dividing the average daily
demand for the base year by the residential population. Utilizing
this formula the daily demand for water was established to be 220
PM
gallons per capita per day (gpcd) .
The existing capacity of the three wells in Clermont is 6.8 mgd.
Therefore, the system is operating at 21.5% of capacity, based on
average daily demand and 27.9% based on peak daily demand. Table
I-9 presents the existing and projected peak daily demand by use
^, and the existing and projected residual capacity for the City's
potable water system.
I- 51
r-
r
Raw water quality from City wells is good and requires relatively
little treatment. After chlorination the drinking water meets all
primary and secondary regulations for water quality of Florida
F Administrative Code 17-22. The City's new wells, pumps, and
Il elevated storage units were installed less than 10 years ago. The
system is modern and should provide the City with reliable service.
The distribution system throughout the City is considered to be in
r good condition and is expected to continue to service existing
residences and businesses with routine maintenance. Therefore, the
City's potable water system appears to be adequate in terms of
pumping, treatment, and distribution for future planning purposes.

C. Sanitary Sewer Assessment
The City owns, operates and maintains the wastewater collection and
treatment system. The system is financially supported by user fees
which cover all operating, maintenance and capital costs. The
system serves the entire City, with the exception of the newly
annexed property north of S.R. 50 and east of U.S. 27 and the small
area south of S.R. 50 and east of U.S. 27. No area outside the
City is presently served by these facilities.
The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was built in 1971 on Osceola
Street, west of Twelfth Street, and utilizes a contact
stabilization activated sludge process for waste treatment. The
City also owns and operates a spray field site which is located
approximately three miles southwest of the City limits on Hooks
Ilm Road. The sludge is digested and dewatered on vacuum drying beds
and transported to an approved spread site near Boggy Marsh Road in
south Lake County.
The present system is a secondary wastewater treatment process that
includes flow equalization, preliminary treatment, activated sludge
treatment, secondary clarifier, chlorination disinfection, force
mi main distribution and land treatment by use of sprinklers.
Sanitary sewer capacity has been upgraded pursuant to
r+► recommendations of the 201 facilities plan conducted in 1983 . The
treatment plant facility is in good operating condition and
receives routine maintenance, replacement and repair of system
components; it therefore has an indefinite life expectancy and is
Ma
expected to last for the duration of the planning period and
beyond. In 1988, the original plant was expanded and several items
not included in the original construction (new head works, a grit
pm removal unit, flow meter, and flow equalization tank) were
installed, satisfying current requirements of the Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER) . Improvements also resulted in
Ii. more efficient plant operation.
The collection system is in good condition, with the exception of
a small percentage of manholes and line that has deteriorated as a
"' result of hydrogen sulfide action on the collection pipe. In 1989
the City started using diffused air in lift stations to control
this hydrogen sulfide condition. The City has also rebuilt 30
.. manholes as part of a system upgrade and maintenance program.
The design capacity of the WWTP is .990 million gallons per day
(mgd) . The average current flow is .515 mgd, and the average peak
flow is .593 mgd. At the present time, the plant is operating at
52% of design capacity, based on average current flow. The
effluent spray field was recently expanded, and the current
" capacity of the field is .990 mgd.
Im I— 56
IM
low
The spray field has been in operation since 1984, and in 1988 it
was expanded from 0.6 mgd to 0.99 mgd capacity. The City will
continue to investigate and where applicable institute a "water
reuse" system.
Level of service has two components in wastewater treatment: the
quality of treatment and a per capita unit contribution rate
expressed as gallons per capita per day (gpcd) . For Clermont, the
current LOS is 77.5 gpcd for average flow, and 89.3 gpcd for peak
flow.
The wastewater treatment plant is currently producing high quality
effluent that exceeds the State of Florida requirements for the
reduction of total biological oxygen demand (B.O.D. ) and total
suspended solids (T.S.S. ) . The plant achieved an average reduction
of 94% of the B.O.D. and 92% of the T.S.S. according to test
results.
The LOS component, gallons per capita per day (gpcd) , is based on
annual average and peak flow rates as a ratio to annual population.
These rates include all sources of generation and assumes
industrial and commercial demand will increase in proportion to
other land uses. The measure is designed for growth analysis and
p. projection of future flow rates.
The Clermont WWTP and collection system is in good condition and
.-+ not experiencing any problems at the present time. System capacity
and performance are functioning satisfactorily and in compliance
with FDER regulations. The current plant capacity of .990 mgd
meets projected growth needs through the year 2001 based on the
~ average flow LOS of 77.5 gpcd and peak flow of 89.3 gpcd,
respectively. Available demand and capacity data is presented in
Table I-10.
ob
It is clear that plans for future wastewater treatment system
expansion will have to be explored during the planning period.
pm There are many considerations to be weighed in determining how to
complete this expansion. At one time, the plan for expansion
involved building a second treatment plant on the same site as the
existing plant. However, recognizing this plant is located on the
west side of the City, and the potential for future annexation
generally occurs to the east and southeast, construction of a
second regional plant in that general area may prove to be the most
•+ prudent and cost effective action to meet future demand.

D. Solid Waste Assessment
.. Solid Waste facilities are structures or systems designed for the
processing or disposal of solid wastes. These facilities include
resource recovery operations, recycling plants, incinerators and
I... landfills.
The City of Clermont operates a curb side solid waste collection
system for all residential uses within the City. The City bills
fr. individual customers and charges a monthly fee of $14.00 for
service. There are currently two open-bed collection trucks and
three compactor vehicles, two of which are new, that serve the
City. Normal household wastes and foodstuffs are collected twice
weekly, whereas general trash and larger articles are collected
once a week.
'`" Commercial and industrial collection service (including
construction materials) is provided by private firms that are
franchised through the City. The rates for service vary by size of
.. container and number of collections requested per week.
Residential and commercial uses account for approximately 70
percent of all waste; institutional and industrial uses supply the
other 30 per cent. All solid waste is presently disposed of at the
County operated landfill located near the Town of Astatula on C.R.
561.
ex
The City of Clermont is currently in the opening stages of
implementing both composting and recycling programs. The
separation of recyclables such as glass, plastic, aluminum beverage
cans and household batteries (when properly containerized) has just
recently been brought on line. According to current estimates the
recycling program has reduced the waste stream volume by
^' approximately 15 per cent during the early stages, and greater
reduction is expected with further experience and implementation.
Collection is occurring one day a week, and reception of the
0. program by City residents has been very favorable.
The City composting program has been in process since early summer.
All small items such as grass cutting, leaves and twigs are placed
in containers for collection by the sanitation/compaction vehicles.
Larger items like branch cuttings and tree limbs are required to be
bundled and then collection is provided by the open-bed trucks.
The records of the public works department indicate that a 25 per
cent reduction in the waste stream has been established since
inception of this program. Collection for these items occurs on a
,� once a week basis.
The annual per capita demand rate for solid waste in the City can
be calculated by dividing the annual volume of solid waste
"" generated in the City by the City's total functional population
(resident and seasonal) . The value for the year of 1989-1990 is
1- 60
approximately 2,420 pounds per person per year. This rate includes
solid waste from residential, commercial, institutional and
industrial land uses, and has the underlying assumption that
various land uses in the community exist in proportion to the
population. Based on a functional population of 7065 residents the
calculation of per capita daily rate equals 6.63 pounds per day.
UThe solid waste not recycled or composted from Clermont operations
is taken to the Astatula I landfill. This 80 acres landfill
facility has been in operation since 1974 and accepts Class I and
III wastes.
There have been significant problems detected with the Astatula I
site. The Floridan Aquifer lies approximately 250 feet below the
ground surface and there are no confining layers of materials
between the bottom of the landfill and the aquifer. The landfill
also lies within a groundwater recharge zone. As a result,
contamination from the landfill has been detected moving downward
and outward from the site. The Florida Department of Environmental
Regulations (FDER) has informed Lake County officials that the
County must take corrective action on the existing landfill, and
must move the refuse disposal operations to a new site. The County
is now in process of negotiation for a parcel of land near the
Sumter County line.
In response to the 1985 FDER directive that all landfills
constructed without liners were to be closed, the Lake County Board
of County Commissioners decided to pursue solid waste disposal
through a waste-to-energy incinerator facility. A contract was
then entered into with Ogden-Martin, Inc. to provide such disposal.
The corporation is the facility's owner, designer, contractor and
Li operator.
11 The present capacity of this facility is 163, 000 tons annually with
full operational use being available in 1991. However, the
facility has been designed for future plant expansion that will
41' result in a final annual capacity of 245, 000 tons. In order to
J meet present contractual obligations for processable solid waste
the County is presently obtaining refuse from surrounding Counties.
Even with the introduction of the resource recovery facility,
composting facility, and recycling operation, sanitary landfilling
will be required to dispose of rejects, by-pass waste,
unprocessable wastes, and ash residue. According to the County's
consultant, up to 10 trucks per day of ash residue will leave the
waste-to-energy facility, delivering up to 150 tons per day of ash
residue to the landfill. The County has indicated that environ-
mental monitoring and testing programs, beyond those required by
the FDER will be implemented to evaluate and determine the
operational effects from the resource recovery facility. The
parameters of the monitoring program are indicated to include
surface waters, groundwater, air emissions, and wildlife impacts.
f:' I- 61
I
Pow
Ph.
Controversy about the new waste-to-energy facility stems from not
only the environmental aspects, but also from the financial
++ standpoint. Tipping fee rate adjustments are conditioned upon
receipt of contracted processable solid waste volumes. Figures
discussed range from $40. 00 per ton for disposal of solid waste.
P.. The costs resulting from any adverse environmental impact is as
unknown as the potential impact itself.
The existing demand and level of service can be estimated by
,•• determining the per capita rate of solid waste generation in the
City. The total amount of estimated waste disposed of at the
Astatula I landfill is calculated to be 144, 175 tons annually. Of
that annual amount approximately 8,548 tons was received from the
City of Clermont. This calculates to approximately 5.9 per cent of
current annual County demand.
Table I-11 shows the current and projected solid waste generation
versus disposal design capacity for the City of Clermont. As can
be seen by this table, with the opening of the Waste-to-Energy
F.+ Incinerator and new landfill the capacity for the City of Clermont
will potentially be unlimited.

E. Drainage System Assessment
Data concerning the City's natural drainage features and surface
water management systems were collected from maps, engineering
studies, aerial photo interpretation, and field site inspections.
This data has been compiled on the Drainage Basins and Features Map
(Map I-il) which is included at the end of this element.
The City of Clermont is located in South Lake County on the
westward edge of the Lake Wales Ridge. It is one part of a much
large promontory ridge line that projects westward from a series of
hills and ridge lines known as the Central Florida Highlands.
LJ Land surface elevations within Clermont range from a low of
approximately 81 feet above sea level along Lake Charles up to an
elevation in excess of 302 feet near Jacks Lake on the recently
annexed properties in the northeast portion of the City. This form
of relief is generally typical of Karst topography, with locally
variable (hilly) terrain with many small circular depressions and
lakes of sinkhole origin. However, the majority of the City is at
elevations of approximately 125-150 feet above sea level and relief
is not as pronounced as the extremes described previously.
The City is surrounded by surface waterbodies and associated
wetlands of varying magnitude on three sides. These waterbodies
are components of a group of interconnected lakes commonly referred
to as the Clermont Chain of Lakes. The City is partially bordered
on the south by Lake Minnehaha, on the west by the Palatlakaha
River including Lakes Palatlakaha and Hiawatha, and on the north by
Lake Minneola. The entire chain of lakes and connecting waters
have been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW) pursuant
to the requirements and procedures contained in Chapter 403 Florida
Statutes and Chapter 17-14 Florida Administrative Code.
The Palatlakaha River forms the crucial interconnection between the
lakes in the Clermont chain. Various flowage way modifications
LI have been made along the Creeks in the vicinity of the Clermont to
enhance navigability and other water oriented functions of the
water way. The most significant modification has been for
maintenance of surface water levels that are now regulated by a dam
downstream at the outfall from Cherry Lake. Consequently, surface
water levels in the Chain of Lakes remain similar, with water
elevation variance between Lakes Minnehaha and Cherry averaging
approximately 1.2 feet. The "average" surface water level in the
Chain of Lakes is established at approximately 96 feet (MSL) above
mean sea level.
The City's existing surface drainage facilities primarily consist
of street curbside inlets and a storm sewer system that collects
and conveys stormwater to the nearest surface waterbody or other
point of discharge. With the exception of the lakes with regulated
f"■ 1- 64
stage elevations and isolated landlocked lakes, few purely natural
surface drainage features (swales, ditches, channels, or ponding
areas) presently exist within Clermont. The extremely variable
topography and steep slopes result in rapid stormwater runoff, with
short-term ponding occurring at various road intersections and
collection points. No drainage wells are known to be located
within or near the City.
The City of Clermont has never prepared a comprehensive study or
inventory of the existing storm drainage facilities within the
1 City. The information used in the preparation of the drainage map
was primarily compiled from on-site field work of the ECFRPC and
information provided by City staff. Consequently, the overall,
Li specific design capacities of the storm drainage system are unknown
at the present time. Currently, abatement mechanisms and system
capacities reflect the Level of Service standards required by City
stormwater codes, regulations of the St. Johns River Water
Management District pursuant to Section 17-25, F.A.C. , and design
standards utilized by the Florida Department of Transportation.
j However, it should be noted the City has historically required the
provision of stormwater treatment. This practice was implemented
prior to any such mandate by the State or Federal governments. In
�111` addition, the City has enacted a stormwater utility for engineering
) analysis, installation, maintenance and revitalization of the
present stormwater management system. Further enhancement of
stormwater abatement will also occur during review and revision of
1 the present stormwater regulations, pursuant to directives of
Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes.
VII. The Plan
This portion of the Future Land Use Element discusses the plan for
accommodating future land uses within the City of Clermont. The
key instrument for this portion of the Future Land Use Element is
the Future Land Use Map (Map I-2) which graphically illustrates the
generalized land use categories and location of future land uses in
accordance with Section 9J-5. 006(4) (a) , Florida Administrative
Code.
However, specific Land Use District designations are also provided
to further delineate appropriate land use. These land use district
designations have been successfully utilized by the City since 1985
(1 to guide growth and development. They furnish a description of
land use type, density, intensity and boundary location criteria
for potential use. A narrative and inventory of the districts is
attached as Appendix "C" at the end of this element.
Li
e`1 I- 65
r:
f7A. Land Use Acreage Requirements and Methodology_
The projection of acreage needed to meet the increase in projected
population was calculated with the use of ratios that express the
existing per capita usage of land for different purposes. Tables
I-12 and I-13 present the results of this calculation.
17 The residential, commercial, industrial, roads and rights-of-way
per capita values were used to generate the projected acreage which
I; will be devoted to such uses in the future. Rationale for non-use
of the other indicated land use categories is as follows:
Recreational land use acreage currently provided by the City
exceeds requirements throughout the planning timeframe of this
L) comprehensive plan. - Therefore, additional land for future
recreational purposes will not be considered for projection in this
future acreage needs assessment.
Li
With regard to the education, public buildings and grounds, and
other public facilities category. The Lake County School Board has
projected that a new senior high school will be needed in the
future, however, the school will be located beyond the City
boundaries therein requiring no additional City jurisdictional land
for educational purposes. When reviewing land currently held in
City ownership, no additional acreage is expected to be required to
facilitate proposed expansion of City buildings or grounds within
this planning timeframe.
When reviewing the conservation category the City did not
previously identify existing land which is designated as
1 Conservation by the City's land use or zoning map. Future areas
L and acreage for conservation purposes will now include 100-year
flood hazard zones and associated ponds, the wetland soil areas,
and wetland vegetation areas. For current estimation purposes
only, the acreage figure for conservation purposes is given as 181
acres.
f7) However, the Conservation land use category must be considered an
"overlay" category where simultaneous use with other land uses will
occur. Examples of this approach might be conservation land
utilized as a water retention area within the greater framework of
a residential planned unit development project, or as a passive
recreation area within a park or other recreational facility.
Within this context of understanding the acreage required for
conservation purposes will not reduce the amount of land available
for use in the other quantifiable land use categories, nor will it
j appear as a category to be manipulated for per capita projected
needs.
e'=, I- 66
p-
r.
As alluded to in the explanation of the analysis methodology, the
Agricultural land in the City is expected to be transformed to
urban type uses as demand is realized. Therefore, it is assumed
for this estimation of needed acreage, that the existing
agricultural land will be consumed by the demand for residential,
commercial, industrial, and roads and rights-of way uses.
Table I-12 presents the calculation of projected additional
population as a ratio of the per capita rates of acreage consumed
for different land uses. Table I-13 summarizes the need for
acreage for particular land uses which can be drawn from the
existing supply of vacant land to meet the acreage need for the
particular land use categories inventoried. According to current
projection the City will have an excess of property for development
through the projected planning timeframes.

B. Future Residential Land Use
Recognizing that approximately 2, 317 new residents may be added to
the City between the years 1991 and 2001, the need for strategic
planning and innovative development techniques will be required.
Based on historic patterns of development (Table I-2) at average
densities of 3.34 units/acre for single family, 5.95 units/acre for
(i mobile homes, and 3.40 units/acre for multi-family, an additional
294 acres, at per capita rates, will be required to meet the
expressed need beyond that already established. This will not
t; present a significant problem as over 2000 acres of vacant land is
available for use within the present City limits.
Based upon the identified patterns for housing demand (Table I-1)
�I in the City, single family residential use will require 81% of the
new units, multi-family will be 11%, and mobile homes will require
the other 8%. Table I-14 provides the estimated acreage needed by
category for 1996 and the year 2001.

The local citizenry has voiced a preference for other forms of
residential development which can be constructed at approximately
the same density as those of mobile homes. Such development may
U take the form of condominium units, cluster housing planned
development projects, or planned unit development projects where a
variety of housing types and densities can be accommodated. In
order to accomplish this request and meet expressed resident desire
Policy 1-5 will adopt residential densities of 1-4 units per acre
as low density, 5-8 units per acre as medium density, and 9-12
units per acre for high density. These densities are consistent
with development district designations provided in Appendix C of
this element and those appearing on the Future Land Use Map.
lJ Another type of development pattern emerging are residential/
professional office areas. Only two locations within the City are
�II recommended to continue these relationships. The first area is
I situated along Grand Highway and U.S. 27, between the two existing
r.,, I- 69
1
n
commercial nodes, north the intersection S.R. 50 and U.S. 27. The
other is along S.R. 50 as infill to similar established uses or as
replacement for less compatible forms of development.
Areas on the Future Land Use Map which may qualify for cluster
development, planned unit development or higher residential
r: densities are in the northeast and southeast portions of the City
where such densities presently exist, and where large parcels of
open land can be planned in a compatible and cohesive manner.
Vacant parcels near the center of the City, adjacent to established
medium density development and the designated less intensive
community commercial areas, should reflect densities respective of
the surrounding land use. Medium density residential development
should also occur in the area near the Lake County School Complex
and lower densities should occur adjacent to the existing lower
densities in the south and southwest sectors of the City.
Residential revitalization measures should be encouraged along S.R.
50 near Lake Avenue, along Chestnut Street and in sections of
Lincoln Park, appropriately.
The City should also actively pursue investigation of the potential
historical structures in and around Montrose Street where the
majority of present older homes in the City appear to be
established.
C. Future Commercial Land Use
f
With the increase in population, a corresponding need for more
commercial development and more acreage devoted to commercial land
�) uses must be accommodated. In 1990, there were 142 acres of
commercial land uses within the City. By the year 2001, that
figure, growing at a constant per capita ratio, is planned to reach
182 acres. The locations of these commercial areas are depicted on
the Future Land Use map. However, recognizing that Clermont has
become a central business center for a greater service area of
south Lake County, additional acreage may be needed, especially if
large planned unit developments appear and neighborhood service
nodes are required.
j The new commercial areas are recommended to occur along both U.S.
27 and S.R. 50 near each of the existing commercial nodes. Some
infilling of less intensive commercial use is to continue along
S.R. 50 as it enters the City from the west. A commercial node
concept should be established at the intersection S.R. 50 and
Hancock Road near that already existing at Greater Hills. Further
f■ commercial expansion in the Central Business District should occur
in order to facilitate growth of health facilities and related
professional offices that are moving into the area.
fT1_ 70
c
Commercial ,growth should not be placed along U.S. 27 south of
Brogden Drive beyond that which is already directed for such use.
This is to prevent further linear commercial sprawl along the west
side of the highway, adjacent to the established subdivision, and
to accommodate future expansion of the commercial node surfacing
around the intersection of U.S. 27 and S.R. 50. Public Safety
flshould be the primary concern along this route.
Review of current commercial zoning district classifications is
warranted to ensure the necessary differentiation between intensity
Li of land uses permitted in given areas. The larger, more intensive
uses should be positioned along heavily-trafficked areas and near
major intersections. Those of a less intensive nature may be
(ej placed as infill along S.R. 50 near the Central Business District
►.� to assist with needs of the residential and professional offices
recommended to occur around this area. Neighborhood commercial
areas should be located as the designation implies, within
neighborhoods or central to several residential clusters as in
planned unit development projects where a total concept may be
applied.
D. Future Industrial Land Use
There is only one area currently in the City recommended for
further industrial expansion. This area is adjacent to the
existing City and County industrial area on Mohawk Road. According
to the year 2001 projections, only 10 additional acres of land will
be required for this use within current City limits. Infilling of
specific lots in the area near 12th Street should continue to
complete the present pattern of development; however, further
T7expansion should not be entertained.
E. Future Agricultural Land Use
When considering the urban nature of the City and a development
posture which advocates efficient and economical provision of
r) facilities and services, the City has not dedicated any
agricultural land use on the Future Land Use Map. The former
orange grove properties that are presently lying fallow are a
constant source of inquiry for potential planned unit development
[1 projects.
F. Future Recreation and Open Space Use
�t
The projected acreage required for recreational purposes is
estimated by the adopted level of service as stated in the
Recreational and Open Space Element. All City residents currently
I reside in the service area of 22 City parks and open space areas,
as well as the facilities provided by the school system. For
reference purposes, the City currently owns and operates over 88
acres of parks, exclusive of the school board, properties. The only
other source for consideration at the present time is the linear
r7 7. I- 71
r
rI
system necessary for the potential Rails-to-Trails program. The
majority of this land is already under City ownership and
cooperative measures with Lake County and the Department of Natural
Resources must come into play prior to initiation of the program.
G. Future Conservation Use
The City does not currently have any dedicated conservation areas
per se. Future areas have been identified from the FEMA 100-year
J flood hazard maps, wetland vegetation areas from the National
Wetlands Reconnaissance Survey, and Conservation Service Soil
Surveys; these areas are specifically dedicated on the Future Land
Use Map Series (Map I-14) . Further areas which might fall into a
conservation classification are already included in the parks and
recreation category, and other such areas which might apply cannot
be determined until the master drainage study is completed.
J
Additionally, to prevent an issue of "taking" from occurring,
single-family lots that were platted prior to adoption of this plan
rni will be allowed to encroach into the 100-year flood plain upon
demonstrated necessity that the site cannot be functionally used
without such encroachment. A maximum 25% of the area contained
within the flood plain may be disturbed. Physical construction
LJ shall occur only in accordance with the established 25 foot high
water mark setback requirement. Wetland areas cannot be encroached
upon in any manner. Subdivisions platted after formal adoption of
this comprehensive plan shall be prohibited from encroachment in
all designated conservation areas. Commercial and Industrial uses
are prohibited from encroachment in any conservation area.
U H. Public Facilities Land Use
1. Public Buildings and Grounds
1
Respective to the expected increase in population, it does not
appear that any additional acreage, not presently under public
ownership, will have to be provided for future public facilities or
services.
The Lake County School Board has projected that a new senior high
�,� school may be needed, however, that school facility is presently in
the process of planning and/or development and has been located
beyond jurisdictional boundaries of the City. Post offices and
health organizations are all centrally located and at the present
time should not require additional acreage beyond that already
under ownership unless the demand by Lake County residents merits
further development.
1_ 72
I ��
T
2. Future Transportation Facilities
^. Acquisition or dedication of acreage for roads and rights-of-way
are projected to require an additional 287 acres by the year 2001.
Development of large parcels presently indicated as open space will
require access to facilitate future development. However, no
specific improvements are planned until 1997 and cooperative
planning efforts with Lake County, the City of Minneola and the
FDOT will have to occur to ensure an integrated system will result.
Only time will dictate the specific demand and location of such
facilities. The principal arterials traversing the City may
require additional lanes or one-way status along certain routes,
p,, however, they should remain sufficient and continue to serve the
City of Clermont.
Railroad lines and their rights-of-way are expected to remain
static through the year 2001.

APPENDIX A
SEASONAL POPULATION PROJECTIONS
CITY OF CLERMONT
The seasonal population was estimated for Clermont for the year
1989 and then projected for various significant years including
1996 and 2001 which meet compliance with the 5 and 10 year planning
time frames mandated by the State growth management legislation.
To calculate seasonal population for 1989, the following numbers
were estimated:
'` Hotel/motel units 54
Seasonal mobile homes units 45
RV park units 0
Seasonal rental units 250
Cabins 0
Campground sites 0
0
TOTAL 349 UNITS
r"" The seasonal population of Clermont resides principally in rental
units and hotel/motel units; there are no campgrounds or RV parks
within the City limits. It is estimated that the smaller of the
two existing mobile home parks is used primarily by seasonal
residents. In order to arrive at a conservative estimate, it has
been assumed that all 45 units in this park are used for seasonal
residential purposes. The seasonal rental unit estimates was made
Pm, through discussion with realtors in the area and with the Clermont
Chamber of Commerce, as well as examinations of utility connection
data. Again, this estimate was made conservatively; a maximum
►- seasonal population was desired for purposes of planning the
provision of adequate public services for these residents.
Tor Once the total number of seasonal units was estimated for 1989, an
average number of tourists in each party traveling to Florida was
obtained from the Florida Division of Tourism. The average number
in each party traveling by air was estimated to be 1.7, and the
average number in each party traveling by car was averaged to be
2.5 per vehicle. Lake County estimated that 90% of the travelers
coming into the County arrive by car; this percentage was assumed
•- to be the same for the City of Clermont. Therefore, the average
number of travelers in each party was calculated to be 2.42
persons.
'" Using this figure as the average numbers of
persons per unit, an
estimate of 1989 maximum seasonal population was calculated as
follows:
349 units x 2.42 persons per unit = 845 persons
o. I- 74
r-
The estimated 1989 population for Clermont, according to the
,.■ University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research
(B.E.B.R. ) , was 6, 642 persons. The estimated maximum seasonal
population, 845 persons, was approximately 12.72% of the 1989
Clermont population. To project seasonal population, the
percentage was held constant throughout the planning period. The
resulting seasonal population projections are as follows:

APPENDIX C
FUTURE LAND USE DISTRICT DESIGNATIONS
CITY OF CLERMONT
MMI
Purpose
The future land use map identifies the districts of land use which
r are envisioned as appropriate for the various areas of Clermont.
These land use districts and the criteria established for each
district directly guide the type and nature of development that can
r-
land within particular areas of the City. As such, the future
land use map is the most restrictive of all the parts of the
Comprehensive Plan and has the strongest implication for
development practices in Clermont.
The most important criteria for each listed district are included
under the heading "permitted land uses. " Before any development
can be approved by the City of Clermont, it should be directly
compatible with the type of land use allowed in the particular
district.
~` Once it is determined that the proposed development is compatible
with the allowable land use for a particular district, then the
remainder of the criteria basically governs the design features of
the allowed development. The actual design of the development
should be generally compatible with these criteria.
.- Relation to Zoning and City Code
In order to implement the Land Use element, of which the map is a
graphic representation, it may be necessary to amend the zoning
"- districts and sections or areas of the City code which are
inconsistent with it. The district map and associated criteria
should provide the basis for the development and application of all
t• standards related to land development within the City. In
addition, all relevant sections of the Clermont City Code should be
amended to require compliance of all future development, of both
public and private concerns, with the provisions and intent of the
land use criteria.
Relation to Other Plan Elements
The future land use map and criteria are meant to be the corner-
stone of the City's development plans by providing a comprehensive
,. framework within which the other plan elements may be developed.
Therefore, this section of the plan should be the first area to be
consulted in reviewing an application for development approval.
...
►" 1- 78
r■
Criteria or standards for review of proposed developments should be
prepared which are consistent with and supportive of the criteria
established for the individual districts identified on the future
land use map. Particular attention should be given to the
conservation and transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
These elements should be reviewed and revised as necessary to
support the future land use criteria. In addition, criteria
addressing the concerns of these elements will need to be estab-
lished within certain land use districts. The City might choose to
restrict development within an environmentally sensitive area and
therefore should incorporate such development concerns into the
land use criteria for a district. For example, criteria
established for the district which includes the Palatlakaha Marsh
might include a statement to the effect that unless the City
determines that a specific development will not diminish the
environmental quality of the area, no development will be
r- permitted.
I- 79
J
LAND USE CRITERIA
Li The accompanying map divides the City of Clermont and the
surrounding areas of potential annexation into a series of land use
districts. These districts and the criteria established for them
specifically address future development in terms of their
compatibility with existing land use characteristics, natural
�
� systems, transportation, parks and recreation, public services and
1 other provisions of the Clermont Comprehensive Plan.
For those areas lying within the present. City limits, this map is
intended to be used as a tool for guiding future growth and
development consistent with the general character of the districts
and the overall goals and objectives of the of the Comprehensive
�I Plan. Areas which are presently outside the corporate boundaries
J of Clermont have been addressed for two reasons: First, it
-provides a guide to property owners in these areas as to what
development is desired if annexation takes place. Second, if
annexation does not take place, it offers a guide in the planning
and development regulation efforts of surrounding local governments
as to what development is desired by the City in these adjacent
areas.
As- an introduction to the general character of the districts as
shown on the map, the following definitions are provided.
NON-CONFORMANCE
Non-conforming uses as defined under Article III, Definitions of
�J Ordinance 245-C, City of Clermont Zoning Ordinance, existing at the
time of the enactment of this Ordinance, being September 23, 1986
may after consideration of the Planning and Zoning Commission and
approval by the City Council be granted a Conditional Use Permit
for the reconstruction, enlargement or expansion of the
non-conforming use where it is determined that such reconstruction,
enlargement or expansion is not obnoxious or detrimental to the
district in which it is located and where the denial of a
Conditional Use Permit would create an unnecessary hardship on the
owner.
Established Districts
[7 These are contiguous lands of Clermont in which the types of land
use have remained fairly stable over time. In these areas, change
to the existing land use character is neither anticipated nor
desired by the City of Clermont. Within this district category,
two types of established districts may be found:
I- 80
\ IIlJ
IOW
Established Residential District (ERD)
A historically stable contiguous area of residential development
and directly associated land uses in which new development would be
strictly limited to those land uses that are directly compatible
with the existing character of the district.
Established Business District (EBD)
A contiguous area of predominately non-residential development that
has remained fairly stable in its orientation toward retail sales
and professional services, although change has occurred in terms of
type of business, tenancy and renovation. Criteria for development
in these districts would address improvement and maintenance of the
existing business character.
Developing Districts.
These are contiguous lands of Clermont or surrounding areas in
which either the existing developed land has demonstrated a
tendency toward change or no developed land use character has yet
■, been established. In these areas, change to the existing land use,
whether developed or undeveloped, is anticipated and, if properly
controlled, desired by the City of Clermont. Within this district
category, two types of developing districts may be found:
Non-established district (NED)
PM
A contiguous area of primarily existing development that has
demonstrated a tendency over time toward change in its existing
character due to factors that may include zoning, proximity to
major thoroughfares, structural depreciation, speculation and types
of ownership. Criteria established for this district would allow
an orderly and desired change in the existing land use through
controlled new development and/or renovation of existing
development.
Undeveloped District (UD)
A contiguous area of major undeveloped lands that have the
potential for a variety of land uses resulting from such factors as
zoning, market desirability, land values, proximity to major
thoroughfares and physical site conditions. Criteria established
for this district would address the desired land uses to be
established.
The following are specific criteria established for each of the
districts shown on the map:

APPENDIX D
} CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The purpose of a Concurrency Management System is to provide the
necessary regulatory mechanism for evaluating development orders to
ensure that the level of service standards adopted as part of the
Comprehensive Plan/Update 1991 are maintained. The system will
consist of three primary components: an inventory of existing
public facilities for which concurrency is to be determined, a
( concurrency assessment of each application for a final development
order or permit, and a schedule of improvements needed to correct
any existing public facility deficiencies. Under this system, and
according to Florida State Legislature, no development orders may
be issued which will cause a public facility to operate below its
adopted level of service standard. However, development orders may
be conditioned such that needed public facility improvements will
be in place concurrent with the impacts of the proposed
development. -
In order to ensure that all public facilities included within this
system are available concurrent with the impacts -of -development,
concurrency will be determined during the final site plan or final
j subdivision plan approval process. All development orders and
]] permits will specify any needed improvements and a schedule for
their implementation. Thus, while some required improvements may
not have to be completed until a certificate of occupancy is
applied for, the requirements for the certificate of occupancy will
have already been specified as a condition of approval of the
original development order. If a development proposal can not meet
J the test for concurrency, then it may not proceed under any
circumstances and no development orders or permits may be issued.
Likewise, if a development fails to meet a condition of approval
once it has commenced, then{ no additional development orders,
permits, or Certificates of Occupancy may be issued.
APPLICABILITY
Prior to the granting of a development order, all applications for
a final site plan or final subdivision plan shall be reviewed for
concurrency consistent with the provisions and requirements of this
system. Development orders may be issued only upon a finding by
the City that the public facilities addressed under the Concurrency
Management System will be available concurrent with the impacts of
fT the development.
All applicants for development permits shall be required to provide
Li all information deemed necessary by the City so that the impacts of
the proposed development may be accurately assessed.
1- 95
� �J
PM
The City's land development regulations will specifically list the
application requirements for development permits that reflect the
informational needs for the determination of Concurrency, and
application forms shall be developed accordingly.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING
r. The City's Department of Planning and Zoning will be responsible
for the four primary tasks which are described below. The Director
of Planning may delegate all or a part of these functions to the
employees within this Department. The four tasks are: 1)
P- maintaining an inventory of existing public facilities and
capacities or deficiencies; 2) determining concurrency of proposed
development which does not require City Council approval; 3)
of• providing advisory concurrency assessments and recommending
conditions of approval to the City Council for those applications
for development orders which require City Council approval; and 4)
reporting the status of all public facilities covered under this
system to the City Manager and City Clerk who serve as the City's
Capital Improvement Facilities Project Managers and recommending a
schedule of improvements for those public facilities found to have
existing deficiencies.
CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE INVENTORY
The Department of Planning and Zoning will collect and make
available to the public, information on certain facilities as
described in Table D-1. The information shall be available
P° beginning October 1, 1991 and updated by each October 1,
thereafter. The provisions and requirements of the Concurrency
Management System shall apply only to those facilities listed in
I• Table D-1.

flCONCURRENCY ASSESSMENT
The Department of Planning and Zoning will be responsible for
determining concurrency for all applications of development orders
for final site plans and/or final subdivision plans. When
reviewing applications for such development orders, the Department
shall perform a Concurrency Assessment to ensure that public
facilities are available concurrent with the impacts of the
proposed development. To conduct the assessment, the inventory
presented in Table D-1 shall be used as a base for the
y establishment of existing conditions. The capability of existing
public facilities to service new development shall then be
f7 determined by using the general rules presented in Table D-2 and
the facility specific rules presented in Table D-3. Finally, a
determination of concurrency shall be made. Such determination may
include conditions of approval which are deemed necessary for
concurrency to be ensured.
The Department of Planning and Zoning shall provide recommendations
to the Planning Commission and City Council concerning those
development order applications which require Planning Commission
and City Council approval. The comments and recommendations
provided by the Department shall include, but are not limited to:
1. The ability of existing facilities to accommodate the
proposed development at the adopted level of service
standards;
2. Any existing facility deficiencies that will need to be
corrected prior , to the completion of the proposed
development;
3 . The facility(s) improvements or additions that will be
needed to accommodate the impacts of the proposed
development at the adopted level of service standard.
4. The date such facility(s) improvements or additions will
need to be completed to be concurrent with the impacts on
' such facility(s) created by the proposed development; and
5. A recommendation of approval or denial with any
applicable conditions for the timing and location of
needed improvements.
Prior to the issuance of a development order for a ro osed new
P P
development, the City Council and/or the Department of Planning and
Zoning shall:
1. Make a finding on the impacts created by the proposed
development;
I-101
ICI
2. Make a finding as to whether the public facilities
covered under the Concurrency Management System will be
available concurrent with the impacts of new development
at the adopted level;
,.• 3 . Make a finding of those facility(s) improvements or
additions that are required to ensure the finding of
concurrency; and
4 . Make a finding of the entity responsible for the design
and installation of all required facility(s) improvements
or additions.
The adopted level of service standards shall be the minimum
acceptable standards with which all proposed new development shall
comply. The Concurrency Management system shall not preclude the
Planning Commission or the City Council from imposing other
conditions of approval including improvements and additions to the
facilities covered under this system beyond the minimum necessary
to achieve concurrency.
The basis for permitting of development orders shall be
�.. specifically the level of service standards comprehensively listed
and formally adopted as they appear in Policy 1-3 of the Capital
Improvements Element.
04 FACILITIES REPORTING
On June 1 of each year, the Department of Planning and Zoning shall
r- report to the City Council the information required in Table D-1.
The report shall also include the degree of any deficiencies and a
summary of the impacts the deficiency(s) will have on the approval
of development orders (e.g. the creation of a moratorium) . The
Department of Planning and Zoning shall then recommend a schedule
of improvements necessary to prevent a moratorium or a reduction in
the approval of development orders.

TIME SPECIFIC APPROVAL
All development approvals shall have a time period specified in the
development order or permit in which development must commence.
The time period may involve two or more phases but the timing of
each phase shall be specified in the development order or permit.
If necessary, the development order or permit may prescribe a time
schedule for the initiation of the various components of the
development process such as land clearing, filling, foundation
pouring, etc.
Any required improvements shall also require a time period for
construction and completion. Should development or facilities
improvements fail to begin or be completed in accordance with the

I . INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Intent
P".'
The traffic circulation element provides the aspect of
the comprehensive plan which assesses the existing and
projected needs for roadways in the City.
0-
Transportation plays a vital role in the daily life of
every urban citizen. The condition of transportation
.- services and facilities heavily influences the overall
desirability of a community as a place to live, work or
visit. Efficient transportation systems can stimulate
and facilitate economic growth; inadequate transportation
facilities can impede economic progress.
The criteria used to assess the existing and projected
Pm needs for roadways is the operating "level of service" ,
which is a measure of capacity per unit of demand. Other
factors such as the free flow rate of travel affect the
.-• level of service at which a road operates.
The level of service can vary from "A" to "F" , or best to
worst travel conditions, respectively. (See Terms and
�" Concepts for definitions) . In the case of traffic
circulation it may be stated as the average traffic
volume per day, or traffic volume per hour at peak times.
ria The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has
developed tables which translate the many factors of a
level of service into measurable traffic volumes. A
ratio can then be stated which compares the current or
projected traffic volume to the maximum average traffic
volume allowable to maintain a given level of service.
This ratio is known as a volume to capacity ratio (VCR) .
'` A VCR may be high at one level of service and low at
another.
,.. In order for a volume to capacity ratio to be applied to
assess future traffic circulation needs, traffic volumes
for the future must be estimated from historical traffic
volumes, and then projected to future land uses. The
future demand for roadways is closely linked to the
intensity of land use since traffic volumes will
generally increase with an expansion of developed land.
P.... Generally, a more intensive land use such as a shopping
center will generate more traffic volume than an office
building or residence.
r-
,e-• II- 2
fl B. Background
Clermont monitors its road system through a traffic
counting program which helps to identify roads which are
approaching their capacities. The Lake County Department
of Public Works and the Florida Department of Transport-
ation maintain several traffic count stations on State
and County roads. Traffic volume trends along major
thoroughfares during the past five years indicate an
annual average increase of nearly 5 percent per- year,
�� with some individual stations posting an increase of over
7 percent for the same one year period.
(7 The provision of adequate transportation facilities and
services is one of the primary responsibilities of local
governments. Clermont shares this responsibility with
Lake County and the State of Florida.
Clermont's busiest artery is State Road 50, carrying
71 daily volumes approaching - 18, 000 vehicles. Traffic
Li volumes fluctuate depending upon the time of the day and
the season during which the count was taken. In Clermont,
seasonal traffic is an important consideration because
during the winter months, the traffic volumes may rise by
nearly 10 percent.
C. Terms and Concepts
Level of Service, as defined by the Florida Adminis-
trative Code (F.A.C. 9J-5. 003 (41) ) , means an indicator
of the extent or degree of service provided by, or
proposed to be provided by a facility based on and
related to the operational characteristics of the
(1 facility. Level of Service shall indicate the capacity
per unit of demand for each public facility.
j'� According to the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual of the
L Transportation Research Board of the National Research
Council, arterial level of service is defined in terms of
average travel speed of all through-vehicles on the
arterial. It is strongly influenced by the number of
signals per mile and the average intersection delay
(National Research Council, 1985: 11-3) .
LI Typical free flow speed for the arterial roadways in
Clermont (class I) is at, least 35 miles per hour.
[I - The 1985 Highway Capacity `Manual (National Research
Council, 1985: 11-4) defines level of service standards A
to F for the arterial class of roadways as follows:
t2II- 3
fl
r:J
Level of Service A - describes primarily free flow
operations at average travel speeds that are usually
about 90 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial
class.
f7 Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to
. maneuver within the traffic stream. Stopped delay at
signalized intersections is minimal.
rlLevel of Service B - represents reasonably unimpeded
operations at average travel speeds that are usually
(7 about 70 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial
class. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream
is only slightly restricted and stopped delays are not
bothersome. Drivers are not generally subjected to
appreciable tension.
�J
Level of service C -, represents stable operations.
However, ability to maneuver and change lanes in mid-
L block locations may be more restricted than in LOS B, and
longer queues and/or adverse signal coordination may
contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50
percent of the average free flow speed for the arterial
class. Motorists will experience an appreciable tension
while driving.
Level of service D - borders on a range on which small
increases in flow may cause substantial increases in
approach delay and, hence, decreases in arterial speed.
This may be due to adverse signal progression,
inappropriate signal timing, high volumes, or some
combination of these. Average travel speeds are about 40
percent of free flow speed.
Level of service E - is characterized by significant
approach delays and average travel speeds of one-third
the free flow speed or lower. Such operations are caused
by some combination or adverse progression, high signal
density, extensive queuing at critical intersections, and
inappropriate signal timing.
Level of service F - characterizes arterial flow at
extremely low speeds below one-third to one-quarter of
i the free flow speed. Intersection congestion is likely
at critical signalized locations, with high approach
�-; delays resulting. Adverse progression is frequently a
LJ contributor to this condition.
{�
II- 4
ARTERIAL ROAD - Signalized streets that serve primarily
through-traffic and provide access to abutting properties
as a secondary _function, having signal spacings of 2
miles or less and turning movements at intersections that
usually do not exceed 20 percent ,of total traffic.
f: COLLECTOR ROAD - Surface streets ,providing land access
and traffic circulation service within residential,
commercial, and industrial areas.
LOCAL ROAD - A local road means a roadway providing
service which is of relatively low traffic volume, short
average trip length or minimal through traffic movements,
i
and high volume land access for abutting property.
` VOLUME TO CAPACITY RATIO - A ratio of the (average daily
or peak hour) traffic volume to the roadway's maximum
capacity permissible to maintain a given level of
service.
- FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION - The classification of a
roadway as limited access highway, principal or minor
arterial, local collector, etc. , which is dependent upon
design capacity, number of lanes, signalization, and
ri function in serving local or through traffic.
COUNT STATION - A location on a roadway, at which, the
vehicles which pass are counted per hour or per day.
II . Inventory and Analysis of Existing System
yA. Existing System Inventory
1. Road Inventory
Based on the above definitions, the following
sections provide a description of the arterial and
f collector roads within the City of Clermont. The
FDOT also classifies roads as urban or rural
facilities. All roads within the City's corporate
limits function as urban facilities. In addition,
a description is provided for local roads within
the City which act as collectors. All other roads
are classified as local streets and are therefore
not included in this element. No detailed analysis
J -is provided for any of the local streets.
r: (a) Arterial Roads
The following roads are classified as arterial
roads under the 1989 roadway functional
classification system.
�l II- 5
I '
P"
U.S. 27 - U.S. 27 is under the jurisdiction of
the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) and serves as a principal arterial
connecting the City of Clermont with cities
such as Leesburg and Ocala. U.S. 27 is a
P. divided four (4) lane facility that provides a
linkage for both inter and intra County
traffic. It now effectively separates the
City into east and west sections, and will
become a primary north-south route for local
traffic as the City continues to urbanize.
r- S.R. 50 - S.R. 50 is also under the
jurisdiction of FDOT and serves as a minor
arterial in the State system. It is also a
divided four (4) lane highway that bisects the
City into north and south sections. It
functions as both an inter and intra traffic
link; and is one of the principal routes which
connects the east and west coasts. Since it
is the primary east-west route through the
City, local traffic also uses this road on a
e- frequent basis.
(b) Collector Roads
The following roads are classified as
collector roads under the 1989 FDOT roadway
functional classification system. No traffic
•� volumes have been recorded for these roadways
by FDOT; however, Lake County has provided
ADT's to assist in future planning efforts.
County Road 561 - This is an undivided two (2)
lane facility under the jurisdiction of Lake
County, which serves as an urban collector for
I" Clermont. C561 has a meandering path that
extends from the southwest urban limit, along
Lake Minnehaha, to the northeast City limit,
where it follows the south shore of Lake
Minneola.
County Road 561A - C561A is also an undivided
P" two (2) lane facility under jurisdiction of
Lake County that serves as an urban collector.
Within the City limits this facility is known
as 12th Street. C561A joins C561 at S .R. 50
and then separates at Minneola Avenue, where
it continues a northerly route around Lake
Minneola.
'� II- 6
Wm
Wm
Lake Shore Drive/Hook Street - This is an
undivided two (2) lane urban collector also
'" under jurisdiction of Lake County. Lake Shore
Drive runs north and then west around the edge
of Lake Minnehaha. Only the portion of Lake
Pm Shore Drive from the southeast City limit to
its intersection with Hook Street, and then
the short portion of Hook Street to U.S . Hwy
27 is classified as the collector within
r Clermont.
(c) Local Roads (Collectors)
r.
The following local roads are not classified
as collector roads by the FDOT under its
functional classification system. These roads
however, function as undivided two (2) lane
minor collector facilities for local traffic
of the City. Traffic volumes have not been
recorded for any local roads within the City
of Clermont.
•. Lake Shore Drive - This road extends in a
west-ward direction from the intersection of
Hook Street to 12th Street. It provides local
traffic with a route between U.S. Hwy 27 and
.- C561/S.R. 50.
Minnehaha Avenue - This road provides resid-
+ ential areas with access to U.S. Hwy 27 , S.R.
50 and C561. It combines with 5th Street at
the curve just south of S.R. 50, where it then
becomes 5th Street through the remainder of
.m the City. The intersection with S.R. 50 is
located near the geographic center of the City
and provides close access to the Central
Po Business District and City medical facilities.
5th Street - This is the north extension of
,. Minnehaha Avenue that connects with C561 (Lake
Minneola Drive) . It provides easy access to
the west edge of the Central Business District
and is an outlet to U.S. 27 via C561 and the
Wm Town of Minneola.
8th Street - This road connects S.R. 50 with
_ Lake Minneola Drive, which is the north
extension of C561 that travels through the
Town of Minneola to its' intersection with
U.S. Hwy 27. It also provides a central route
to the Central Business District and City
medical facilities.
II- 7
OM
East Avenue - This road is the most easterly
conduit between Lake Shore Drive and C561
(Lake Minneola Drive) . Most of the principal
school facilities are located on this
corridor; the majority of which occur near the
r intersection of East Avenue and Pitt Street.
It also has an intersection with Grand Highway
which provides easy access to U.S. Hwy 27 .
r'" Bloxam Avenue - This road provides access to
Pitt Street and S.R. 50 for residents in the
Lincoln Heights area. A further extension of
•.. this road has been proposed for future
connection with U.S. Hwy 27 near the Town of
Minneola.
Pitt Street - Presently Pitt Street serves as
an interconnector between Grand Highway and
Bloxam Avenue. It is the only ingress/egress
i" road that provides access to the City from the
east without having an intersection with U.S.
Hwy 27 . This is accomplished by the underpass
0. located just east of Bloxam Avenue. This route
may eventually become one the major east-west
traffic movers with annexed areas to the east.
Grand Highway - This road serves as a
principal connector for areas both east and
west of U.S. Hwy 27. It is also located in an
area of the City that has large parcels of
vacant land, and will provide the major route
for traffic movement as that area of the City
continues to develope.
In addition to the local roads listed above,
other less traveled local roads serve the
'` residential areas of the City. As no traffic
flow problems have been identified on these
roadways, and no future problems are
r-, anticipated for the short or long range
planning periods, an analysis of these streets
is not warranted in this element. The City
should however, monitor these roadways on an
annual basis to identify maintenance needs and
any traffic flow problems that may occur in
the future.
2 . Motorized, Non-motorized, and Railroad Systems
The existing traffic circulation system is shown in
Map II-1. The roadways depicted on this map are
categorized according to their Florida Department
.- II- 8
laft
r
r
of Transportation (FDOT) highway functional
classifications and number of lanes. There are
P. arterial and collector roadways in the City but no
limited access facilities. Map II-2 shows the
location of count stations where traffic volumes
•• have historically been counted. There are no
active railroad lines in the City, but there is one
aban-doned railroad right-of-way that is
alternately coterminous with Lake County and the
r� Town of Minneola, and runs parallel with Lake
Minneola Drive. The abandoned right-of-way has had
all ties and rails removed.
P"
There are no designated bikeways or bicycle lanes
in the City. Pedestrian ways are limited to
p_ intermittent sidewalks, but do not constitute a
planned pedestrian circulation system.
3 . Traffic Counts
The historical annual average daily traffic count
for the FDOT count stations are found in Table
r. II-1 and segments are defined in Table II-2 .
Arterial segments have been defined in accordance
with the FDOT guidelines for using FDOT capacity
tables; the segments are at least one mile in
0.. length with termini at the City limits when
applicable.
r 4 . FDOT Adopted Level of Service
Table II-2 also presents the level of service
standard which has been adopted for each arterial
roadway by the Florida Department of
Transportation. Each standard is based on four
factors: the roadway's functional classification,
P"' number of roadway lanes, the number of signalized
inter- sections per mile of roadway group; and
urbanized, urban, or rural character of a place.
., The City of Clermont is considered to be an urban
(5000+ population) area by the FDOT. This
combination of factors was based on the 1985
Highway Capacity Manual and was designed by the
'.- FDOT to account for the movement of traffic through
intersections. Figures II-1 and II-2 are provided
to illustrate the Statewide Minimum Acceptable
•- Operating Level of Service Standards for the State
Highway System, and the Generalized Daily Level of
Service Maximum Volumes for Florida's
OM
Urban/Urbanized (5, 000+) Areas, respectively.

B. Analysis of Existing System
Pm
_ 1. Volume to Capacity Ratios
A roadway deficiency is defined as a roadway
segment with a volume of traffic that is greater
than the maximum capacity permissible to maintain
an adopted level of service.
This condition exists when the volume to capacity
ratio (VCR) is greater than or equal to 1. 00.
Tables II-2 and II-3 provide the existing volume to
capacity ratio for each roadway segment, and states
the level of service at which the roadway segment
currently operates.
(a) Arterial Roads
The FDOT has adopted a level of service
• standard for all State owned highways, and
only under unusual circumstances, should the
locally adopted level of service standard for
P P these State roadways be different. Presently,
U.S. 27 and S.R. 50 the principal and minor
arterials, respectively, are operating at
Om
level of service "A" , free flow operation.
(b) Collector Roads
The collector roads have been evaluated at a
level of service "C" , indicating there is no
need for capacity improvements on these roads.
P. The level of service evaluation for these
roadways is also presented in Table II-2 .
None of the City's roadways are operating
below acceptable levels of service.
(c) Local Roads (Collectors)
OM All local roads provide good operational flow,
indicating there is no present need for
capacity improvements. However, extension of
... certain presently designated collectors, and
route revision of others must take place to
potentially accommodate future traffic flow
patterns anticipated from impacts of future
growth.

2 . Existing Needs
.. (a) Volume to Capacity Ratio Results
As Table II-3 indicates no roadway segments
have a volume to capacity ratio greater than
pm
or equal to 1. 00. All roadways for which
traffic volumes counts were available are
operating at a level of service which meets
w the FDOT adopted level of service. This
condition indicates that there are no existing
needs for increased capacity on the State and
Local owned highways or roads that pass
Me
through the City.
However, revision of route C561 to accompany
C561-A should take place in order to remove
such a potentially high volume traffic
generator from location within a City park and
,m enhance public safety objectives along the
lake shore.
(b) Alignment, Paving, Lighting and Drainage
The City does not have any existing needs
designated for alignment, paving, lighting or
.a roadside drainage. Most paving requirements
may be satisfied with routine maintenance
patching. The proposed road way extensions
into areas where "vacant" parcels comprise the
predominant land use are scheduled for
construction in FY 1997-98, or will be the
responsibility of the development interest
-"' that warrants their necessity prior to that
time.
(c) Pedestrian Ways
The City, through subdivision regulations,
requires sidewalks to be provided at initial
"r construction. Review and revision of mandated
land development regulations, utilization of
certain designated easements and rights-of-
way, and then the process of proper site plan
review should assist in integrating linkage
where appropriate. Another source for
additional pedestrian ways will be through
inception of the Rails to Trails program.
II- 18
(d) Maintenance
There is no backlog for maintenance of City
owned streets. Maintenance is performed by
City crews as_ necessary.
III . Analysis of Projected Traffic Volumes and Needs
A. Projections of Traffic Volumes 1996 and 2001
Projected needs are calculated similarly to existing
needs, however, the volume aspect of the volume to
capacity ratio is a projected traffic volume.
Traffic volumes are generally projected by designating
traffic analysis zones, by which, traffic volumes are
estimated based on the , trip generator qualities
(population and land uses) contained within each zone.
This type of study has never been completed by the City
of Clermont; however, analysis of the existing levels of
Jservice was performed for all FDOT functionally
classified arterial and collector roadways in Lake County
by the Lake County Planning and Engineering Departments.
r Thereafter, a computerized Lake County Area
Transportation Study was completed implementing the
Florida Department of Transportation's Florida Standard
Urban Transportation Modeling Structure (FSUTMS) in order
to obtain future traffic circulation scenarios and
estimates of traffic volumes.
u Utilizing straight line extrapolated results from the
u County FSUTMS model, Table II-3 now provides projected
average daily and peak hour traffic volumes for the years
h 1996 and 2001, and for, each road segment within Clermont.
Map II-3 shows the projected future traffic system.
B. Projected Volume to Capacity Ratios and Projected
Operating Level of Service
Table II-3 presents the projected traffic volume versus
capacity at the FDOT adopted level of service standards.
C. Projected Needs
There are no projected needs for the Clermont road system
according to the FDOT adopted level of service standards;
however, they do not reflect improvement to roadways
l which are related to signalization, intersection design,
or maintenance. Because these needs are based on Florida
Department of Transportation acceptable volumes to
11- 19
V
0
L)
maintain level of service, which are highly sensitive
to the number of signals per mile, the need for a given
number of additional traffic lanes may change as signals
are added to the segments of roadway.
However, since the projected volume to capacity ratios
�( presented in Table II-3 indicate the existing road way
1� capacities will be sufficient for projected volumes, no
future capacity improvements are expected to be necessary
{� through the adopted planning horizons.
D. Funding for Improvements
Funding for roadway improvements is derived from the
revenue raising authority of the State of Florida, Lake
County, and the City. Revenue sources which are
accessible to -the City for improvement of local
collectors are the local option of the motor fuel tax,
redevelopment fees, special assessment, and impact fees.
Lake County currently assesses and collects an impact fee
on new development which is distributed back to the City
in proportion to the City's contribution. The City
budget's general fund can also allocate some revenues
r: towards transportation improvements.
fl IV. Comments and Recommendations
A. Motorized Transportation
Part of the traffic circulation system for the City of
Clermont is maintained and improved by entities other
than the City. Road improvements to U.S. Hwy 27 and S.R.
50_ fall under auspices of the FDOT, Five-Year Trans-
portation Program. Improvements to collector roads are
Lake County's responsibility and are implemented through
local Gas Tax Road Resurfacing and Road Construction
Programs. The City will need to continue existing
coordination mechanisms with the FDOT and Lake County in
program efforts, and establishment of monitoring
techniques for traffic flow which has impacts both inside
and outside of the City.
1. Maintenance
The City of Clermont has a Road Maintenance Program
established to maintain local and collector roads
within the City. Clermont is also a member in the
LLake County Five Year Road Capital Improvement
LL Program, which uses County Impact Fees `to maintain
local and collector roads throughout the Impact Fee
[4] Collection District.
II- 20
P m
2. Protect and Preserve Rights-of-Wav_
W. By taking measures to protect and preserve rights-
of-way, the City of Clermont can assist Lake County
and the FDOT in protecting road corridors for
future road improvements. The City can utilize
pi-
techniques such as setback requirements, zoning
restrictions, and right-of-way protection
regulations to preserve and protect existing and
- future rights-of-way.
In many cases, transportation improvement programs
.„ such as access management, traffic signal
optimization, on-street parking restrictions, and
the addition of turn lanes may be sufficient to
relieve congestion without a large capital outlay.
"-a Through the use of an access management program,
the City can create safe and efficient on-site
traffic flow which will lessen the traffic
r.• congestion on major roadways. Lake County is
currently in the process of establishing a county
wide access management program which the City may
want to investigate and utilize.
3 . Scenic Roadways
•• The City of Clermont has not classified any of its
roadways as scenic, nor has the FDOT or ECFRPC
designated any State roads as such. The City may
r, want to consider establishing a list of roadways
which it considers to be scenic in order to
preserve the nature of the roadway, and coordinate
such activities with the FDOT and the ECFRPC if any
""" State roads are included in the program.
4 . Frontage Roads
In order to preserve capacity and enhance traffic
flow on arterial roadways the City should implement
necessary requirements and programs for frontage or
` reverse frontage roads. The City should coordinate
such activities with both Lake County and FDOT to
assure that a complete system concept can be
w- achieved. The designation of strategic inter-
sections for ingress/egress will also enhance
public safety features through limitation of curb
1•0 cuts along these heavily traveled roadways. Imple-
mentation can occur through revision and/or
adoption of necessary development regulations in
conformance with requirements of Section 163 . 3202 ,
Florida Administrative Code.
II- 21
r+
5. Traffic Accidents
r.. An examination of accident frequency data is also
required to determine its effect on the efficiency
of the system. A listing of high accident
frequency road segments and intersections was
.• obtained from the FDOT, and no road segments or
intersections within the City of Clermont were
identified as having a high accident frequency.
r-+ Based on this report, it is assumed that accident
frequency does not affect the City's traffic
circulation system at the present time.
.— B. Non-Motorized Transportation
The City of Clermont needs to investigate and promote the
IMO establishment of bicycle and pedestrian ways. The City
currently does not require the private sector to provide
parking facilities for bicycles. The existing sidewalk
.. system for the City is not continuous and there are no
designated bicycle lanes. Non-motorized traffic must use
the same facilities as motorized traffic in many cases.
'm One alternative to meet these needs is through the use of
abandoned railroad right-of-way as bicycle/pedestrian
paths. Subsection 266. 0161 (2) , Florida Statutes requires
✓ the FDOT and the Department of Natural Resources to enter
into a written agreement to establish methods for
coordinating acquisition of the abandoned railroad
rights-of-way for recreational trail uses. The program
'A* is currently called the Rails-to-Trails Program, and when
developed, may serve a non-motorized transportation
function as well as a recreational function.

City of Clermont
Housing Element
I
I. Introduction
The Housing Element of the City of Clermont's Comprehensive Plan is
f:
intended to -be- a framework that will assist in identifying and
meeting the housing needs of the City's current and prospective
population. It is also intended to serve as a guide and
tj information source for governmental decision-making in all matters
related to housing. By providing this summary of the housing
conditions in the City of Clermont, the plan will: assist the
City's builders and developers by identifying the housing
construction needs of the City's population; assist the local
government to identify the housing problems of the City's low- and
moderate-income families; assist the local government to preserve
L existing housing and neighborhoods; and maximize coordination among
all public and private entities concerned with the provision of
housing within the City.
[7
The Housing Element is divided into three sections: inventory;
analysis; and goals, objectives, and policies. In the first
section, data is provided which illustrates current housing
conditions in Clermont. The second section analyzes current
conditions in terms of demographics and types and costs of
available housing. Also analyzed are projected population trends
fi and their effect on the housing market. In the third section, the
City's housing goals are outlined, and the objectives and policies
which will be implemented to meet these goals are listed.
The source for most of the data provided in this element is the
1980 Census. If updated data is available, this data was used. In
some instances, data is available for Lake County for 1980 and the
current year, and available for the City of Clermont for 1980. In
these cases, the percentage change for the County is assumed to be
the same for the City.
II. Inventory
A. Characteristics s r of the Existing Housing Stock
Li
In this section, existing housing conditions are identified as
required in 9J-5. 010 (1) (a) through (h) . The first requirement of
this rule is that the number of housing units in Clermont be
identified by type, - tenure, age, rent, value, monthly cost of
owner-occupied units, and rent or cost-to-income ratio. Tables
III-1 through III-7 provide this information. These tables also
provide a comparison of Clermont statistics with those of Lake
County.

1. Number and Tenure of Housing Units
..., Table III-1 lists the total housing units and the number of units
which are owner-occupied, renter-occupied or vacant. According to
these numbers, the vacancy rate in 1980 for owner-occupied units
was 1. 8%, while the vacancy rate for renter-occupied units was
- 11. 6%. Clermont has a higher percentage of rental housing (30%)
than does Lake County (21.9%) . Availability of rental housing is
an important factor to consider when analyzing the affordable
— housing situation in a community.

2 . Age and Type of Housing Stock
.. In Table III-2 , housing units are shown by the number of units in
the structure. In 1980, a majority of the housing units (67 . 7%)
were single-family homes. Multi-family units accounted for 26. 3%
of the total units, while mobile homes comprised 5.7% of the total.
.. III- 3
The age of the housing units in Clermont is shown in Table III-3 .
Age of the housing stock in one of the variables which should be
,., considered when estimating future occurrences of substandard and
replacement housing. Approximately 39. 1% of the housing in
Clermont was built prior to 1960. Forty-seven percent of the
housing was built after 1970, including 16.7% that was built after
1980. The housing in Clermont is, on the whole, slightly older
than the housing in the unincorporated County; still, nearly half
of the housing is less than twenty years old. With the rate of
population increase rising, the rate of housing construction can be
expected to increase in the next 10 years.

Many of Clermont's residents have been living in their homes for
twenty years or more. Approximately 50% of the City's present
housing stock was built prior to 1969. The decade of the 1970's
r' added another 28%, and the decade of the 1980's added the remaining
22% of the present dwellings (See Table III-4) .

3 . The Cost of Housing: Value, Monthly Cost and Rent
Affordability of housing is an issue which must be analyzed in any
Housing Element. One measure of affordability is the value of
existing housing. The median value of housing in Clermont was
$39, 600 in 1980, slightly higher than the median value of $38, 000
'`" in Lake County. A review of the data indicates a comparable
distribution of housing for each of the categories. Clermont,
however, has a higher percentage (42 . 1%) of units in the $30, 000 to
$49, 999 range, and lower percentages (1.7% and 7 .4%, respectively)
in the less that $10, 000 and $16, 000 to $19, 000 ranges. This
pattern is to be expected because of the larger percentage of newer
and more expensive homes being constructed on and near the many
lakes within the City. Another measure of affordability is the
monthly cost of housing. The median monthly cost of units with a
mortgage was slightly lower for Clermont ($271) than for Lake
•-. County ($282) . Approximately 60% of the owner-occupied mortgaged
housing units in the City cost their owners less than $300 a month,
as compared with about 55% of those similar units in the County.
,,.,, The median monthly cost for units without a mortgage is slightly
higher ($100) in Clermont than in unincorporated Lake County ($92) .
Table III-5 contains these figures.
p.,. Monthly contract rent for housing units in Clermont is an important
measure of housing affordability, because often low- and
moderate-income families cannot afford to buy a home and therefore
f.• must rent housing. Rental housing in Clermont was slightly more
expensive in 1980 than housing in the rest of Lake County although
most of the City residents (571, or 90.4%) paid less than $250 per
month for housing in 1980 (see Table III-6) .

4 . Cost or Rent to Income Ratio
r„ In Table III-7, cost and rent-to-income ratios for housing are
given for the City of Clermont. Because this information was not
available in the 1980 Census for Clermont, the ratios given for
Lake County in the Census were assumed to be the same for Clermont.
A small percentage of home owners (10.8%) pay in excess of 35% of
their gross income for their housing. A majority of home owners
.. (78.4%) spend less than 25% of their income for housing. The
situation is not quite so favorable for renters. While over half
of the renters (57.2%) spend less than 25% of their monthly income
on housing, almost 30% of the renters spend in excess of 35% of
WM
their income on housing costs.

5. Condition of Existing Housing
The condition of existing housing will affect the projected demand
for housing to meet future population needs. Housing which is
substandard must be rehabilitated or demolished, and any housing
lost through demolition must be replaced. Chapter 9J- 5. 010 (1) (c)
requires that the city provide a definition of standard and
substandard housing and an estimate of the number of dwelling units
in the city in substandard condition, along with a generalized
location of these units. These definitions and estimates are given
ribelow.
On the whole, the condition of housing units in Clermont is good.
E (See Map III-1) The definitions of standard and substandard
housing to be used throughout the Housing Element are as follows:
Classification of Housing Conditions
Standard Housing Unit - Any housing unit which is suitable for
human occupancy, which has working and operable plumbing, which has
an adequate heating system, is in a safe structural condition,
appears structurally sound and has no apparent signs of decay or
only slight defects which are normally corrected during the course
of regular maintenance. Examples of slight defects include:
i. peeling or cracking paint
slight damage to porch or steps
iii. small cracks in bricks, masonry, or stucco
iv. minor cracks on exterior wall material
v. broken roof gutters or downspouts
Cvi. buckled or cracking shingles
Substandard Housing Unit Suitable for Rehabilitation - A
substandard housing structure is one that can be brought up to
standard conditions with rehabilitation. Such housing has one or
a combination of defects of an intermediate nature that must be
corrected if the unit is to provide safe and adequate shelter.
Examples of intermediate defects are:
i. broken or missing windows
ii. shaky, sagging, and unsafe porches or steps
iii. missing mortar, bricks or masonry
iv. sagging floors, walls or roof
.., v. small holes, open cracks, or missing material on
exterior walls or roof
A substandard unit evidencing several, more critical defects than
r: outlined above or appears to have substantial deterioration of
structural members to the extent that the dwelling appears unsafe
and dangerous to human life should be inspected by the building
�-+ official for determination of demolition and clearance from the
L site.
III- 11
A windshield survey was conducted in the City to determine the
approximate number of housing units needing revitalization that are
r-• currently occupied. Discussions with the Clermont Planning
Director also contributed to this estimate. Approximately 31 units
in the City were determined to be in this category. This number
P... represents less than 1 percent of the total housing units in
Clermont. These units were predominantly found in two areas of the
City. The first area is bound by Highland Avenue to the south,
Disston Avenue to the west, Pitt Street to the north, and US
Highway 27 to the east. The second area occurs along S.R. 50
between Chestnut Street, Second Street and Fifth Street. (See Map
III-2) A number of housing units in these areas, while not yet
considered to be substandard, could become substandard in the near
future without preventive maintenance.
Also required by 9J-5. 010 (c) is an inventory, taken from the
latest decennial census, listing the number of housing units
lacking complete plumbing facilities for exclusive use, lacking
complete kitchen facilities, or lacking central heating, as well as
- units which are overcrowded. This inventory is contained in Table
III-8 for the City of Clermont and Lake County. For purposes of
this comprehensive plan, these units will not be counted as
substandard. Lack of central heat is not considered to be a
serious problem in Florida. Overcrowded units (defined in the 1980
Census as units occupied by more than one person per room) would be
suitable for smaller households. Shared plumbing and/or kitchen
0. facilities would not automatically render a housing unit
substandard.

B. Subsidized Housing Developments
v�
One way to alleviate the burden of high rent payments for lower-
income families is to provide subsidies to pay part or all of the
rent. Chapter 9J-5.010 (1) (d) requires this plan to list all
renter-occupied housing developments in Clermont currently using
federal, state or local subsidies and the number of units for each
development. There are currently 4 apartment complexes which were
.• built under the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) 515 program;
Clermont Sands (36 units) , Woodcliff (34 units) , Lakeview Villas
(15 units) , and Sunny Hill Apartments (34 units) . This program
POI
provides grant money in conjunction with loans to construct
apartments where there is a clearly defined public need. Map III-3
shows the subsidized housing units in the City.
C. Group Homes
A listing of all licensed group homes is also required by 9J-
111,4 5. 010 (1) (e) . There is one Adult Congregate Living Facility (ACLF)
in the City - Lake Highlands Nursing Center, which has a capacity
of 89 persons. There are presently nine (9) foster care facilities
in and adjacent to the City of Clermont which are licensed by the
'" Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) . Table III-
9 lists the facilities currently in operation.

D. Mobile Home Parks
An inventory of existing mobile home parks in the city was obtained
from the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) , as
required by 9J-5. 010(1) (f) . There are currently two mobile home
`I parks in Clermont. Emerald Lakes Mobile Village has 212 mobile
home spaces, and it is located at 1401 W. Highway 50, on the far
west side of town. Minnehaha Trailer Park has 45 mobile home
r- spaces, and it is located at 660 Hook Street on the south side of
town. (See Map III-4 for location. )
,.• E. Historically Significant Housing
Chapter 9J-5.010 (1) (g) requires that the City provide an inventory
of historically significant housing. There is currently no housing
'm. listed on the Florida Master Site File or the National Register of
Historic Places as historically significant in the City of
Clermont. However, as part of the 1984 City Centennial program a
survey was conducted to identify certain homes and structures
demonstrating historical significance. Appendix "A" and Map 1II-5
have been provided as a potential source of information to assist
with further historical research and appropriate action to preserve
the City's historical resources.

F. Housing Construction from 1980 to 1990
Table III-10 contains an inventory of the building permits issued
for housing construction in Clermont since 1980, as required by 9J-
5.010 (1) (h) . Also included in the table are housing demolitions.
The number of conversions was not available at the time data was
collected; it is probable that the number is so low as to be
insignificant. Building permit information for the City was
obtained from the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
Pik
For purposes of this plan, the total number of permits in each
category for the years 1980 through September 1990 will be added to
the existing housing units in the 1980 Census to arrive at the
number of units in Clermont.

G. Rural and Farm Worker Housing Units
The necessity -for provision of rural and farm worker housing does
not exist within the City of Clermont any longer according to
regional and local information sources of the Department of Labor
and Employment Security, Bureau of Agriculture Programs.
LJ A steady, historic decline and transition from agriculture to
construction and service related industries has been occurring for
the past _ decade. However, the ultimate crippling blow for
agricultural employment came in the mid-1980's with the hard
freezes that destroyed the citrus industry. Local replanting has
not occurred for various reasons, mostly -however in response to
accelerating growth pressures on the County and Region as a whole.
LJ
Recognizing that agriculture does not, and will not, play a
significant role within the area again, the City find no necessity
to address these requirements of the growth management legislation,
as they do not specifically apply.
,[I III. Analysis
A. Population Expected to Reside in City
In this section of the housing element, the future housing needs of
the City's population will be determined by defining the trends in
household size, age of the population, and median household income
for the years 1990-2001. Once the demographics of the City have
been defined, that information and the current housing situation,
which was analyzed in the preceding section in terms of
availability, affordability and condition of existing housing, will
be used to project the housing needs of each segment of the
population for the period 1990-2001. Once the housing needs of the
population have been outlined, alternatives for providing adequate
1� housing will be explored.
1. Household Size
‘i:j\
City population was projected through the methodology discussed in
tar. the Future Land Use Element (averaged, apportionment
ratio/geometric extrapolation method) of this plan. Those
projections were used to project household size for the City.
Information on average household size and number of households in
each size range was obtained from the 1980 Census. The average
household size is expected to decrease slightly as a result of
decreasing family size, an aging population and higher incidence of
persons living alone. By dividing the total number of persons in
households by the average household size, the number of households
for 1991, 1996, and 2001 was projected.
C
III- 20
a
U r The 1980 U.S. Census reported 2,117 (Table III-1) households in
Clermont. The projected number of households for 1991 is 3, 005,
for 1996 the projected number is 3,585 and for 2001 the projected
number is 4,029. This represents an increase of 1, 128 households
between the years 1990 and 20.01, an average annual increase of 103
homes. (See Table III-11. ) It is anticipated that the average
LJ household size will remain close to current levels during this
period as present trends causing household size to drop are
somewhat offsetAby the increase in families moving to Clermont as
changes in the transportation system bring Clermont within
reasonable commuting distance of the Orlando metro area.

�J 2 . Age Profile
,` Population by age statistics were obtained for the City of Clermont
for the year 1980 from the Census. The number of persons in each
age group was projected through the year 2001 by holding the 1980
percentages constant. (See Table III-12 . )
Currently, there are approximately 1, 687 persons 65 and over in the
ti City of Clermont; this number represents 23 . 1 percent of the City's
total population. Because a significant percentage of -Clermont's
population is elderly, age information is helpful 'in determining
the housing needs of the population. Also, the elderly have
housing needs which differ from those of the rest of the
';_i population. Because they often are on fixed incomes, affordability
of housing is an important factor to be considered. Problems with
mobility and external maintenance of homes also affect the type of
housing elderly persons need.

3 . Income Range of Households
In order to determine the type of housing required to meet the
needs of the anticipated population, it is necessary to determine
the income range of future households. Income will affect the type
and size of housing families can afford. Income information will
help to determine whether there is sufficient affordable housing
available for families at all levels of income.
The income groups described in Table III-13 have been selected
r because they coincide with limits in HUD housing assistance
programs. Grouping households in these income categories will help
to determine whether sufficient housing is available for all
families, especially those in the moderate- and low-income
categories.
Assuming an even distribution of income for the income groups in
the 1980 Census, the number of persons at each income level was
calculated by assigning the appropriate percentage of each Census
income range to the levels developed through the HUD formula. The
HUD formula for determining income groups is as follows:
households earning less than 50% of the median household income for
the County or MSA are considered to be very low income households.
Households earning 50% to 80% of the median income are considered
low income households, while households earning 80% to 120% of the
median income are moderate income households.
The percentage of households at each income level was held constant
through the year 2001. Table III-14 shows the number of
households at each income level; Table III-15 shows the change in
the number of households at each income level for the years 1990
through 2001.
111- 22
r•.
According to the calculations, there were 1242 very low-income
households, 586 low-income households and 598 moderate-income
households in Clermont in 1990. By the year 2001, there will be
482 additional very low-income households, 228 additional low-
income households and 232 additional moderate-income households.

B. Projected Housing Demand
In the preceding section, changes in the number of households by
,", size and income group were identified, and age trends for Clermont
through the year 2001 were projected. Using these figures,
projections of housing needs for the city can be developed.
t` Future housing demands are estimated by projecting population
trends, new household formations and the expected life of existing
housing. An allowance for vacancies is added to these factors to
r- keep the vacancy rate at an acceptable level.
1. Projected Housing Units by Size
For projecting the number of housing units needed by size, several
assumptions were made:
•"• a. One and two person households require units with two or
fewer bedrooms;
r b. Three and four person households require three bedroom
units;
ma c. Five or more person households require units with four
or more bedrooms;
d. Wealthy households will, in general, occupy larger units;
Pk
e. Low-income households may live in smaller units.
1,.. Using these assumptions and Table III-11, the number of housing
units needed through the year 2001 by size was projected.
III- 24
p.
P.M
(Assumptions d and e have a neutralizing effect on each other. )
The results of these calculations can be found in Table III-16.

2 . Household Formations
Table III-17 shows the number of new housing units needed in the
City between 1991 and 2001 by type and level of income. The current
tenure percentages of 70% owner-occupied and 30% renter-occupied
are projected to remain constant throughout the planning period.
These projections should be considered as guidelines and not an
exact prescription for the City's housing needs. These projections
were based on several factors and trends in the housing market.
Very-low income, low-income and moderate-income families are more
likely to rent multi-family housing than to buy single-family
housing. Additionally, lower-income families and the elderly are
more likely to occupy mobile homes than upper-income families.
There is a need for affordable rental housing in Clermont. There
is also a need for affordable single-family housing units, which
would make it possible for some moderate- and low-income families
to own their homes.
Middle and upper-income families tend to buy rather than rent
housing. There is a need for single family homes for those
families in the middle and upper-income range. As this housing is
built, middle and upper-income families will vacate their present
homes to move into the newer units. The vacated housing will then
be available to moderate and some low-income families, and it
should be more affordable than new single family housing. This
should alleviate some of the need for single-family, owner-
.r occupied housing for families in the low- and moderate-income
range. The remaining housing needed for these families could be
provided by the private sector if efforts are made by the City and
III— 25
..a
area builders to find mechanisms that could defray construction
costs, such as the FmHA 523 "Self-help" and HUD 202 long-term low-
"' interest housing programs.
3 . Allowance for Vacancies
r
To determine the appropriate vacancy rate for this housing market,
it was first necessary to calculate the population growth rate for
the City. Appropriate vacancy rates vary depending on whether the
growth rate is rapid (greater than 5 percent per year) , moderate
(1-5 percent per year) , or slow (less than 1 percent per year) .
The following chart shows the appropriate vacancy rates for owner-
and renter-occupied units:
Vacancy Rate
+16 Growth Owner-occupied Renter-occupied
rapid ( >5% ) 1. 5-2% 6-8%
moderate ( 1-5% ) 1-1. 5% 4-6%
slow ( <1% ) <1% <4%
Source: FHA Techniques of Housing Market Analysis, 1970.
Prepared by: ECFRPC, 1990.
Clermont is experiencing moderate growth (approximately 4 percent
per year) ; therefore, the appropriate vacancy rates are 1-1. 5
percent for owner-occupied units and 4-6 percent for renter-
occupied units. These ratios are typically being met by the
housing supply as it exists in the City today.
4 . Substandard Housing Repair/Replacement
ra
In Clermont, it was determined that there are currently 31 housing
units that are in need of revitalization measures. At the time of
the 1980 Census, there were 27 units lacking complete plumbing and
e■ 25 units lacking complete kitchen facilities. Where feasible,
these homes should be renovated to correct these problems. There
are 1108 units, 46.9 percent of the total units, that were built
r..� before 1960 and will therefore be almost 50 years old by the year
2001. However, virtually all of the housing in the City is in good
physical condition; the number of units that could potentially
become substandard between the present and the year 2001 is minimal
and therefore is not considered to be of consequence for purposes
of the housing study.
Conservation of the existing housing stock in standard condition
will be achieved generally through private investment in
maintenance and repair and the enforcement of the City's housing
code. Financial assistance program sources (CDBG and others) and
information is and shall continue to be made available to very low
and low-income families to correct violations of the housing code,
: ik III- 26
and technical assistance should continue to be made available to
all. Housing units that cannot be feasibly rehabilitated will be
condemned and demolished, and relocation assistance will be
provided to families as needed.
C. The Private Sector Housing Delivery Process and Implementation
r..\J Strategies for the Housing Delivery System
This subsection of the element provides a review of the delivery
process with regard to land, services, financing, regulations and
administrative roles -of government agencies.
The housing delivery system is extremely complex, requiring the
coordination of numerous professionals, firms, businesses and
industries, including developers, contractors and home
manufacturers. There interests however, cannot function without
the support and assistance of numerous other participants: land
owners, real estate brokers, title companies, architects,
engineers, surveyors, lawyers, lending institutions, mortgage
companies, building material manufacturers and distributors,
LY insurance companies, planners, consultants, and zoning and building
code officials. These, and more, make up the housing delivery
system. Therefore, in order to adequately address the provision of
necessary housing a multi-dimensional approach must be considered.
L�
The provision of safe, sanitary and affordable housing differs from
most of the other development delivery items in that housing for
the City's population is provided exclusively by the private
sector. Limited supplies of public housing have been built in the
I past to house very low and low-income families, but this housing
� J has not kept pace, in adequate quantities, to meet an ever
increasing affordable housing demand. Also, housing assistance
programs have recently been changing the emphasis from building
low-income housing to subsidizing low-income families to assist in
potential choice of housing location. Subsequently, any housing
needs that have been diagnosed in this element must be met by the
private sector. The focus of this section of the housing element,
therefore, is to examine the housing delivery process to determine
what actions the City- can take to make the process more efficient
f.).) and to facilitate the production of the needed types of housing,
especially housing for low-income or other special needs groups.
1. Land Requirements for the Estimated Housing Units
According to the estimates in Table III-17 there will be an
expected demand for 1,230 additional housing units (including
needed vacancies) in Clermont between 1991 and 2001: 770
ti single-family, 295 multi-family and 130 manufactured housing units.
It has been determined from the existing and future land use data
(1 and maps there is adequate land both available and designated
within the City of Clermont to build the additional housing units
needed. According to (Table I-2) the established, existing density
III- 27
[1
patterns of 3.34 units per acre for single family, 3.40 units per
acre for multi-family, and 5.95 units per acre for mobile homes,
there will be 231 acres needed for single-family housing, 87 acres
for multi-family housing, and 22 acres for mobile homes. If new
housing was constructed at maximum allowable development densities
of 5.8 units per acre for single family, 8.7 units per acre for
mobile homes, and 12 units per acre for multi-family housing even
less acreage would be required; however, data provided in the
Future Land Use Element indicates a preference for development at
less than maximum allowable density. Therefore, historic patterns
utilized provide the most accurate scenario for potential land use
requirements.

2. Services
The City of Clermont provides all its residents with potable water
and wastewater services. The present residual capacities and
availability of facilities will adequately handle the projected
population through both of the established planning horizons. If
population increases at a faster rate than projected, the City
through adoption and implementation of its concurrency management
system and close coordination with the City of Minneola and Lake
County can assure provision of necessary facilities at the time of
demand. The necessity and methods for jurisdictional cooperation
on issues of growth management has been expressed in various other
elements of this plan.
III- 28

r3 . Finance: Purchasers and Mortgage Interest Rates
1 Financing for residential development has generally been readily
U available for new construction within the City. There are no known
areas within the City which have historically been known to be
r avoided by financial institutions, and there are no apparent
financing problems anticipated for future construction beyond those
presently being experienced nationally.
rMortgage loans are made, or originated, in "primary" markets where
lenders and borrowers transact business. In these markets,
short-term construction loans are made to builders, and long-term,
(I or "permanent, " mortgage credit is extended to owners and buyers of
homes or rental properties. Repayment of loans made in primary
markets may be insured or guaranteed by a government agency or by
r private insurance companies. The need for such coverage depends on
the financial status of the borrower, the size of the loan relative
to the value of the property, and the expected appreciation rate of
the property serving as collateral.
nInstitutions operating in primary- mortgage markets may hold the
mortgages they originate, adding them to their asset portfolios or
r sell their loans on secondary markets, thereby replenishing their
supply of loanable funds. Institutions that originate and sell
'_J mortgages as a matter of course perform a "mortgage banking"
function and derive their income from loan origination fees paid by
borrowers and from loan servicing fees paid by investors who buy
the loans.
17' Secondary market transactions may involve the sale of loans from
originators to investors, with or without another institution
serving as intermediary or broker; the standardization of mortgage
instruments provided by government or private mortgage insurance
and guarantees helps to make these loans acceptable to secondary
market investors.
Agencies at all levels of government are involved in the
L_( residential mortgage process, operating programs intended to
bolster the growth of housing credit; to reduce the cyclicality of
flmortgage credit, and to provide mortgage loans to certain borrowers
at below-market interest rates. Various federal programs
underwrite credit risks on primary mortgages, guarantee payment on
mortgage pass-through securities, operate secondary markets in
mortgages, and channel funds from bond to mortgage markets through
direct intervention in these markets. State and local governments
operate various programs that channel funds from tax-exempt
securities markets into residential mortgage loan markets.
j
The purchase of residential property traditionally has been
financed by long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans with level
payments that fully, pay off (amortize) the principal over the term
u of the loan. Two types of this standard mortgage form have
I III- 29
11
ra°
evolved; those that are insured or guaranteed by the federal
government, and those with no government coverage (so-called
"conventional" loans) . Depending on the requirements of the lender
or investor, conventional mortgage loans may be insured by a
private mortgage insurance company. In many cases, conventional
— loans contain clauses that give lenders the option to require full
payment of the loan when the property is sold (due-on-sale
clauses) , as well as provisions that permit lenders to assess a
., cash penalty for early repayment of the loan (prepayment
penalties) .
New forms of both conventional and government underwritten mortgage
'` loans recently have emerged to serve the needs of both borrowers
and lenders in an environment of inflation and interest rate
instability. These alternative mortgage instruments modify, in one
,l way or another, the basic characteristics of the standard
long-term, fixed- rate, level-payment mortgage.
Borrowers obtain mortgage loans in primary markets mainly from
depository institutions or mortgage banking companies that maintain
lending offices in communities throughout the country. The savings
and loan industry typically has been the major originator of
.- residential mortgages, followed by mortgage banking companies,
commercial banks, and mutual savings banks. Depository
institutions ordinarily hold most of the loans they originate,
while mortgage banking companies originate for resale, financing
their mortgage inventories with short-term bank loans and
commercial paper.
P^ Except for certain subsidized lending programs, the federal
government does not lend directly to mortgage borrowers. However,
the government does insure or guarantee loans made by private
Ir primary market lenders, mainly under the insurance programs of the
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the guarantee programs of
the Veterans Administration (VA) . In recent years, FHA/VA loans
have accounted for roughly one-fifth of the total dollar volume of
' home mortgages originated.
Since the early 1970's, private mortgage insurance has become an
-- important factor as private companies have insured about the same
amount of home mortgage credit as FHA and VA combined. However,
non-insured conventional mortgages - ordinarily contracts with
loan-to-value ratios below 80 percent - still account for about 60
.- percent of all home mortgage credit originated.
As inflation accelerates and interest rates undergo change, two
major problem areas emerge in the housing finance system. First,
the traditional process of mortgage lending and investment through
primary and secondary market mechanisms deteriorates. Mortgage
originators become less willing to write the types of loan
agreements ordinarily offered to borrowers, and secondary market
investors become reluctant to enter into traditional mortgage
III- 30
C 1
� f purchase contracts with originators. In addition, increasing
proportions of real estate transactions are financed outside normal
institutional lending channels, to the detriment of the health of
traditional mortgage finance institutions.
During recent years, many mortgage originators have become less
willing to issue standard fixed-rate, optional-delivery commitments
to prospective borrowers. Adjustments by originators generally
have involved: (a) imposition of larger nonrefundable commitment
rl fees to discourage cancellations when market interest rates fall,
(b) shortening of periods over which a stated interest rate on
commitments will be offered, or (c) use of interest rates tied to
market indicators. These adjustments have been made partly because
of reduced availability of purchase commitments in the secondary
market. Greater volatility in interest rates has resulted in the
disappearance of some of these types of commitments or imposition
of larger commitment fees by secondary market purchasers.
Previous record levels of market interest rates and changes in the
mortgage origination process have prompted circumvention of the
normal financing channels in the primary market and have stimulated
growth of "creative" financing techniques that may often involve
participation in the financing process by sellers of existing
homes. The most common of these techniques involves the transfer
of outstanding low-rate mortgages from homesellers to homebuyers
(loan assumptions) , often in combination with second mortgages
written by sellers. Another technique uses a "wraparound" mortgage
- a single instrument that encompasses the outstanding first
mortgage and the amount of additional financing needed by the
buyer. The increased incidence of loan assumptions and wraparounds
in the primary home mortgage market has significant adverse
implications for institutional mortgage investors: the turnover
rate of outstanding home mortgages will slow down, supplies of
loanable funds will be reduced, and the earnings of these
institutions will be held down.I 4. Regulations and Administrative Roles of the Local
` l Government in Affordable Housing
Local home builders and the development community have generally
been supportive of the administration of planning and development
within the City. The present City Code and Future, Land Use Map
have been revised at various times to reflect changes demonstrated
necessary to accommodate changing growth conditions. The mandates
of Chapter 163 now offer and require another reorganization of City
growth policy and regulation. The overall objective of the City is
to first accomplish the Comprehensive Plan update, which provides
the inventory, analysis and guidance for future direction, and then
modify or supply specific regulatory mechanisms to meet
demonstrated needs. The following is a discussion on the role and
techniques that local government must recognize in order to
facilitate affordable housing.
III- 31
(1
r-
There is frequently a considerable gap between objectives of the
public sector and the profit-motivated concerns of the private
developer. To coordinate the two, and to manage the development
process, better linkages between them are required. Government is
called upon to manage carefully the review and approval process to
differentiate more clearly between acceptable and unacceptable
development, and to act aggressively to facilitate, rather than
frustrate, proposals that are in accord with local policy.
The more clearly that government can articulate the ground rules
for development the better. The review process must be guided by
a clear expression of public policy and by guidelines designed in
the land development codes to serve that policy. In negotiating
with developers, local officials and review bodies must clearly
define for developers the range of densities and type of off-site
,i6 improvements that are required and permissible, and the review
process should respect those limits. The existing land development
code including, zoning and subdivision ordinances should be
stringently reviewed and ambiguous provisions should be amended for
greater clarity.
An integrated approach to land development regulation, taxation,
r housing procurement, and public spending is recommended to
encourage and enable the intended pattern of development to occur.
While streamlining and coordinating the approval process, the City
is reviewing and revising its development code, property tax,
public service, and capital improvements programs to integrate and
facilitate the construction of necessary infrastructure which in
turn assists in the development of affordable housing.
' The importance of realistic development criteria, property taxes,
and the local capital budget, cannot be overstated.
No other single act of government can enable the
construction industry to produce affordable housing more
than providing clear, consistent development guidelines
and then designating an adequate amount of land at
appropriate densities.
- Property tax administration must be fair, equitable and
sensitive to its cost impact on housing if developers are
to be encouraged to build affordable housing and if that
housing is to remain affordable over time.
Affordable housing can be greatly facilitated by the
willingness of the municipality to provide adequate
infrastructure facilities and services to potential
sites.
Where the influence of these three factors is properly coordinated,
r the impact on the development of affordable housing can be
dramatic.
r- III- 32
5. Provision of Housing for Households with Special Needs
The 1980 amendment to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning
Act states that the housing elements must contain standards, plans
.— and principles to provide adequate sites for group homes and foster
care facilities within the jurisdiction. According to HRS, the
major reason for this new requirement is that too many communities
were " . . .denying group homes for their citizens, thus thwarting a
compelling state interest to house people in the least restrictive
setting as possible. " (HRS, 1983) . Thus, a community needs to
provide for development of group and foster homes. While
communities need to provide for development of group and foster
homes, a community should not overdevelop group residential
facilities by permitting the facilities to be concentrated in one
area. This tends to reinforce the handicapping conditions rather
than promote independent living.
The City can assist in provision of this housing type through
applicable land development district designation and providing
direct assistance to the various program administrators and project
developers.
Pow
a) Group homes are licensed by HRS and vary in size. The
staff required depends on the programmatic needs of the
residents. Group homes may be operated by family home
owners, non-profit organizations, private-for-profit
corporations, or the State itself. The HRS has developed
definitions for group homes according the size:
"Group Home - Level I" means a facility which is licensed
by HRS. It provides a family living environment
including supervision and care necessary to meet
physical, emotional, and social life needs of clients.
It may or may not provide education and training. This
facility should have a maximum capacity of no more than
eight residents.
"Group Home - Level II" is the same as Group - Level I
--� but should have a maximum capacity of no more than 12
residents.
"Group Home - Level III" is the same as Group Home -
Level I but should have a maximum capacity of no more
than 20 residents.
"Residential Facility: is the same as Group Home - Level
I but has a capacity which exceeds 21 or more residents.
r III- 33
r
b) Foster Homes.
Foster homes are operated by families to provide a family
living environment for children and in some cases adults.
Excluding the foster parents themselves, no more than
five residents should occupy a foster home.
Citizens with special needs are classified as elderly,
dependent children, physically handicapped,
developmentally disabled and non-dangerous mentally ill.
i. Elderly Low Income
r-
The elderly population of a community have special
needs with respect to housing. Those elderly whose
income falls below the poverty level may be
experiencing extreme financial hardships which
prevent them from living in safe, sanitary and
affordable units. The 1980 Census reported 133
persons over 65 and below poverty level in
Clermont. Dividing this figure by the average
household size of 2.54 persons yields and estimate
r• of 52 households in need of assistance in this
category.
ii. Location Standards
Foster homes provide a lifestyle almost identical
to natural facilities and should be a permitted use
l°." in all residential areas. The location of group
homes should be regulated according to the number
of clients and the intensity of care required.
6. Impact Fees
The City of Clermont, like many other local governments, faces a
dilemma of escalating demand for public facilities and services
caused by new development. Existing residents are usually strongly
resistant to higher taxes and fees to finance the services and
improvements required by new residents. Consequently, impact fees
are becoming widely used because they are viewed as one way to
assist in making "growth pay its way".
The courts have found impact fees to be legal so long as the new
development pays only its fair share of the capital
facility/service cost. The three key elements of the rational
,t nexus test, by which impact fees must be evaluated, are the
following:
►r a. the expansion of the facility and/or service must be
necessary and must be caused by the development;
III- 34
r
P.,..
r
b. the fees charged must be based on the costs of the new
facility/service apportioned to the new residents; and
c. the fees must benefit those who pay. This means that the
funds collected are specifically earmarked for a
.- particular account.
It appears the types of facilities/services that could be supported
by impact fees are limited only by how well the rational nexus
—
standards are supported in the impact fee system's needs
assessment, cost allocation and the direct relationship between
benefit and payment.
IV. Summary and Recommendations
-■ In the preceding sections, the demographics of Clermont's
population and its existing housing conditions were identified.
Housing needs were projected through the year 2001, and problems
and opportunities affecting the capacity of the housing delivery
process were identified. In this section, strategies will be given
for dealing with each aspect of the housing situation in order to
provide adequate housing for the current and future population of
Clermont. The following issues will be discussed in this section:
a) provision of adequate sites for housing for low and
moderate income families and mobile homes.
b) provision of housing and adequate infrastructure for the
projected population.
c) elimination of substandard housing conditions.
d) provision in neighborhoods of sites for group homes and
foster care facilities. -
e) identification of conservation, rehabilitation or
demolition activities, and historically significant
housing or neighborhoods.
The City of Clermont will increase by approximately 1024 additional
households between 1991 and 2001. The City should provide, in that
period, approximately 1230 new housing units to accommodate the
additional population, replace substandard housing, and maintain an
".' adequate vacancy rate. The housing provided should vary in size,
type, and cost so that families at all levels of income can afford
to live in safe, sanitary and affordable housing units. The future
r land use data and maps indicate land at designated densities are
available to meet the need; adoption of the unified land
development code will further ensure appropriate densities are
available to satisfy expressed demand.

both planning horizons is in place and residual capacity is
0' available to provide necessary services. If unforseen growth
occurs the concurrency management system provided in the adopted
land development code and the system of impact fees should ensure
,.. availability upon demand. The City shall continue cooperative
efforts on these growth management issues with the City of Minneola
and Lake County.
P`'` Substandard housing is not a problem in Clermont. However,
continued assertive code enforcement and grant funding programs
(CDBG, Elderly Homeowner Rehabilitation, Weatherization Assistance
elk Program, etc. ) will be enhanced to ensure that it does not become
a problem in the future. The housing that was enumerated in the
1980 Census as having inadequate plumbing or kitchen facilities
should be renovated through the present CDBG program if not already
done so. To eliminate future substandard housing and monitor older
units for purposes of preventing the deterioration of housing, the
City shall continue to enforce the minimum (SBCCI) housing codes.
0. Financial assistance program information will continue to be made
available to very low and low-income families and the private
sector (e.g. SAIL program, Predevelopment Loan Program, Florida
Homesteading Program) to ensure availability of needed housing.
According to the 1980 Census, there were 89 persons in group homes
in Clermont. Through adoption of the land development code,
"" specific efforts will continue for the provision of group homes and
foster care facilities within residential neighborhoods for those
who need them.
e-
There are currently no housing units listed on the Florida Master
Site File as historically significant, nor are there any areas in
Clermont that have been designated as part of a locally significant
historic district. The City will identify its older housing to
determine historical significance and encourage preservation of
such structures; appropriate professional consulting and agency
r` assistance will be requested. The City shall coordinate with the
private sector and provide information relevant to public
assistance for renovation of historically significant structures.
