A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA, ESTABLISH-
ING A POLICY FOR THE ANNEXATION OF LAND INTO
THE CORPORATE LIMITS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Clermont., Lake
County, Florida, deems it advisable and in the best interest
of the City to establish an annexation policy;
WHEREAS, this policy will give the City Council and
property owners guidelines for the annexation of property;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida that the following
annexation policy be established and utilized by the City
Council when considering annexation requests:
1. Annex all land available to the owner. This item
is included in the annexation policy to insure
that small parcels are not annexed one at a time,
and that the entire parcel available to a property
owner is annexed in order to allow for the proper
planning of City facilities.
Exceptions to this item should be considered if
an enclave or very irregular City boundary would
be created which would be confusing and impede
City services.
2. If developed land is annexed, insure that all public
facilities meet City standards. Form a Special Asses-
sment District or other funding mechanism to insure
that streets, roads, water, and sewer systems are re-
constructed to meet City standards if the property is
annexed. Perform a cost benefit analysis on the rev-
enues vs. expenditures created by an annexation request.
3. Encourage the annexation of land into the City that is
contiguous with the corporate limits.
4. Large undeveloped parcels of land that are annexed will
not be developed until subdivided according to the City's
Subdivision Ordinance, and have an overall development
plan.
5. Analyze the impact on City facilities (i.e. sewer, water,
streets, etc.) that will be created by an annexation re-
quest. If a large impact is being created on any City
facility or utility, an agreement with the owner must be
reached on how the service will be provided before the
property is annexed and/or developed. An example of such
an agreement would be a developer providing a new water
well, lift station, package sewer plant, or limiting
sewer hookups.
6. No annexation ordinance shall be prepared by the City
Staff until requested by the City Council at a regular
meeting. Requests for annexation shall first be con-
sidered by the City Council upon receipt of a written
request from an interested property owner.or a recom-
mendation by City Staff.
No rezoning proposals will be considered by the Planning
and Zoning Commission or City Council until the parcel
is annexed.
