An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, adopting the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Clermont, Florida, pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes; setting forth the authority for adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; setting forth the purpose and intent of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing for the adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; establishing the legal status of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing a severability clause and providing an effective date. Item No. 12 — Ordinance No. 2019-30, Final, Hartwood Properties City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-30 aloud by title only. An Ordinance under the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Clermont referred to in Chapter 122 of Ordinance No. 289-C, Code of Ordinances; rezoning the real properties described herein as shown below; providing for severability, effective date, recording, and publication. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 The owner, Hartwood Properties LLC, has requested an amendment to the Future Land Use Map. The applicant is requesting the City to designate the property with a future land use category of Master Planned Development. The subject site is 80 +/- acres in size. The property is a quarter mile south of Hartwood Marsh Road, east of US Hwy 27. A portion of the property has been historically used for agricultural purposes. The amendment application is associated with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning that has been filed with the City. The Council transmitted the land use change to the State reviewing agencies on August 27. The City received five responses from the agencies reviewing the transmittal package. Three of the responses had "no comment" and the other two provided comments. One comment from the Lake County School Board expressed concern over student capacity and available school sites in the South Lake County Area. The response also indicated that a project may need to participate in proportionate share mitigation prior to moving forward. The other comment came from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to limit the maximum density and intensity permitted under the proposed Future Land Use amendment, which is being done through the PUD zoning process to cap development limits. The two comments have been addressed through conditions in the Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance. Since the project is located within the City, the City can provide adequate public facilities and services, the proposed Master Planned Development land use is similar to the existing Regional Office: it is logical to support this future land use amendment. The project incorporates residential, commercial, retail, and office uses. With this mix of uses, the most appropriate Future Land Use category is the City's Master Planned Development (MPD) designation. Therefore, staff supports the applicant's request for a change to Master Planned Development. The owner has requested a rezoning to a Planned Unit Development with C-2 General Commercial uses and Residential uses. The owner desires to develop the property in the future, which may include up to 600 multi -family dwelling units and up to 120,500 square feet of commercial uses. A conceptual site plan has been submitted to show what could be placed on the property in respect to uses, intensities and densities. Due to the City's recent multi -family moratorium and the applicant not having site specific plans, staff is recommending C-2 General Commercial uses until such time the multi -family is ready to move forward with detailed site plans. If approved, the zoning would permit C-2 General Commercial uses on the site. Any residential (single-family or multi -family) uses or conditional uses, such as buildings over 20,000 square feet, would require the applicant to come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for approval. A more detailed site plan with specific uses would be submitted at the time the site is ready for development. The PUD with C-2 General Commercial zoning is compatible with the Master Planned Development Future Land Use. The property fronts a major Federal Highway and these types of uses would be compatible in the area. Staff has reviewed the applicant's proposal and finds the proposed zoning at this location is compatible with the uses in the area. Staff is able to support the request for the rezoning change since it is not in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the property can be developed in a similar fashion under Lake County's Regional office designation. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 Therefore, staff recommends approval of the rezoning to the Planned Unit Development to include C-2 General Commercial uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended 4-2 for approval with a condition added to restrict no access from the development to Hartwood Marsh Road. City Manager Gray stated the property was annexed without a plan and the applicant has been part of the wellness way projects. Chris Daugherty, applicant, was present and concurred with staff s recommendation. Mayor Ash opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ash closed the public hearing. Council Member Bates requested confirmation of whether the matter will return to Council for approval. Development Services Director Henschel confirmed the matter would return to Council for any multi- family, single-family, and commercial uses. Council Member Bates moved to approve Ordinance No 2019-29• seconded by Council Member Purvis. The motion passed with a 5 to 0 roll call vote Council Member Bates moved to approve Ordinance No 2019-30• seconded Council Member Brishke. The motion passed with a 5 to 0 roll call vote The next three items were heard concurrently and voted on separately. Item No. 13 — Ordinance No. 2019-31, Final, Bradshaw North City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-31 aloud by title only. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, providing for the annexation of a certain parcel of land contiguous to the present City boundaries; providing for an effective date, severability, recording, and publication. Item No.14 — Ordinance No. 2019-32, Final, Bradshaw North CPA City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-32 aloud by title only. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, adopting the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Clermont, Florida, pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes; setting forth the authority for adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; setting forth the purpose and intent of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing for the adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; establishing the legal status of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing a severability clause and providing an effective date. Item No. 15 — Ordinance No. 2019-33, Final, Bradshaw North City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-33 aloud by title only. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 An Ordinance under the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Clermont referred to in Chapter 122 of Ordinance No. 289-C, Code of Ordinances; rezoning the real properties described herein as shown below; providing for severability, effective date, and publication. The owner, BLR-Shell Pond/Floribra-Shell Pond, is requesting voluntary annexation of the subject property by adjacency to the City limits. The property, approximately 16.7 acres, is located northeast of the intersection of US Hwy 27 and Schofield Road. The adjacency to the City limits would be to the south, Clonts Groves and to the east, the recently annexed South Lake Crossing project. The property has been historically used for agricultural uses. The property is located within the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) and the Joint Planning Area (JPA). The applicant is requesting City services for the project, in which the City can fully serve. Since the subject property meets the requirements for voluntary annexation under Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044, the City is capable of serving the property, and is within the ISBA and the JPA; staff recommends approval of the annexation. The owner has requested an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to designate the property with a future land use category of Commercial. The Council transmitted the land use change to the State reviewing agencies on August 27. The City received four responses from the agencies reviewing the transmittal package. All of the responses had "no comment." Staff is able to support the request for the comprehensive plan change since the subject property meets the requirements for voluntary annexation, the City is capable of serving the property, it is not in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the property can be developed in a similar fashion under Lake County's Wellness Way 1. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the large-scale comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use from Lake County Wellness Way 1 to the City's Commercial. The owner has requested a rezoning to C-2 General Commercial. The applicant desires to develop the property for commercial uses in the future, which may include a 140- room hotel with up to 32,800 square feet of commercial uses on the 16-acre parcel. A conceptual site plan has been submitted to show what could be placed on the property in respect to uses, intensities and densities. If approved, the zoning change would permit C-2 General Commercial uses on the site. Any conditional uses, such as buildings over 20,000 square feet, would require the applicant to come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for approval. The applicant provided the conceptual site plan to demonstrate the long narrow parcel could accommodate projects with parking and storm water systems. A more detailed site plan with specific uses would be submitted at the time the site is ready for development. The C-2 General Commercial zoning is compatible to the proposed Commercial Future Land Use. The property fronts a major Federal Highway and these types of uses would be compatible in the area. Residential uses on the site would be highly unlikely due to the property's configuration and location on the highway. Staff has reviewed the applicant's proposal and finds the proposed zoning at this location is compatible with the uses in the area. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 Staff is able to support the request for the rezoning change since the subject property meets the requirements for voluntary annexation, the City is capable of serving the property, it is not in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the property can be developed in a similar fashion under Lake County's Wellness Way 1. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the rezoning to the City's C-2 General Commercial zoning designation. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approved 6-0. Chris Daugherty, SME, applicant, was present and concurred with staff s recommendation Mayor Ash opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ash closed the public hearing.

Item No. 16 — Ordinance No. 2019-42, Final, Rocky Mount Commercial Ph2 City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-42 aloud by title only. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, providing for the annexation of a certain parcel of land contiguous to the present City boundaries; providing for an effective date, severability, recording, and publication. Item No. 17 — Ordinance No. 2019-43, Final, Rocky Mount Commercial Ph2 CPA City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-43 aloud by title only. An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, adopting the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Clermont, Florida, pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act, Chapter 163, Part Il, Florida Statutes; setting forth the authority for adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; setting forth the purpose and intent of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing for the adoption of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; establishing the legal status of the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment; providing a severability clause and providing an effective date. Item No. 18 — Ordinance No. 2019-44, Final, Rocky Mount Commercial Ph 2 City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-44 aloud by title only. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 An Ordinance under the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Clermont referred to in Chapter 122 of Ordinance No. 289-C, Code of Ordinances; rezoning the real properties described herein as shown below; providing for severability, an effective date, and publication. The applicant, Rocky Mount Development Co, is requesting voluntary annexation of the subject property by adjacency to the City limits. The subject site is 10.8 +/- acres in size. The property has been previously mined and is currently used for agricultural purposes. The vacant property fronts Hooks Street, between Ford of Clermont and Dicks Sporting Goods. The City limits surround this property on the north, east and western property boundary. This would be considered infill since majority of the surrounding property is currently in the City. Since the subject property meets the requirements for voluntary annexation under Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044, the City is capable of serving the property, and this would be logical infill of the existing City limits; staff recommends approval of the annexation. The applicant has requested an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to designate the property with a future land use category of Commercial. The north portion of the property was annexed into the City in 2015 and the property is contiguous to the City limits on the north, east, and west boundary. The applicant desires to develop the property for commercial uses; however, no conceptual plans have been submitted at this time. The proposed map amendment will change the future land use from Lake County's Regional Commercial to the City's Commercial. Since the proposed amendment is a very similar land use to the County's Regional Commercial, the adjoining land use is City Commercial, and the amendment would not be in violation of the City's Comprehensive Plan; staff recommends approval of the large-scale comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use from Lake County Regional Commercial to Commercial in the City. The applicant has requested a rezoning change to the C-2 General Commercial zoning designation. The applicant desires to develop the property for commercial uses; however, no conceptual plans have been submitted at this time. The proposed rezoning request will change the zoning from Urban Estate (currently Agriculture District in Lake County) to the City's C-2 General Commercial zoning classification. The requested change is similar to the surrounding zoning and land use in the City. The property does have a curb cut and a dedicated left turn lane in place from Hooks Street to facilitate development in the future. Staff has reviewed the applicant's proposal and finds the proposed zoning at this location is compatible with the uses in the area. Staff is able to support the request for the rezoning change since the subject property meets the requirements for voluntary annexation, the City is capable of serving the property, it is not in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the property can be developed in a similar fashion under Lake County's Regional Commercial designation. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 Therefore, staff recommends approval of the rezoning to the City's C-2 General Commercial zoning designation. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended 6-0 for approval. Rick McCoy, applicant, was present and available for any questions. Mayor Ash opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Ash closed the public hearing. Council Member Bates moved to approve Ordinance No 2019-42• seconded by Council Member Brishke.

The motion passed with a 5 to 0 roll call vote Item No. 19 — Ordinance No. 2019-46, Final, Hancock Commons Apartment City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No. 2019-46 aloud by title only. An Ordinance under the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Clermont referred to in Chapter 122 of Ordinance No. 289-C, Code of Ordinances; rezoning the real properties described herein as shown below; providing for severability, effective date, recording, and publication. The owner, Clermont 15, LLC and Hancock Commons, LLC, is requesting an amendment to a PUD to allow 281 multifamily units on 16.49+/- acres located on vacant property northeast of the Hooks Street and Hancock Road intersection. The property is part of the original Hills of Clermont development that consisted of commercial, office, and residential use along Hooks Street and Hancock Road. A developer's agreement was signed between the developer and the Hills of Clermont Homeowners' Association in 2006 prohibiting multifamily development on this parcel. A modification of the developer's agreement was executed and recorded with the Lake County Clerk of the Courts on May 16, 2019 removing the prohibition of the multifamily development. The owner desires to develop an apartment complex on the property using the affordable housing bonus density process. The applicant has applied for 281 units on 16.49 acres. The base density of the parcel is 12 units per acre or 197 units. The bonus density request is for 84 units for a cumulative 281 units. This is a density of 17.1 units per acre. Under the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Ordinance 2018-30, applicants along the Hooks Street Corridor can request up to 20 units per acre through the provision of having affordable units based upon HUD standards and income limitations. The applicant has indicated 15 percent of the bonus units would be provided for moderate -income households. This would be 0.15 x 84 bonus units = 13 affordable units. These units would remain as affordable units in perpetuity. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 The applicant has provided a conceptual site plan prepared by Kinley-Horn showing the four buildings, amenity area and associated parking. The multi -story buildings will have elevators since they may have a maximum height of 55 feet. The applicant has provided architectural elevations showing the proposed buildings along with sight lines. The applicant has requested five waivers to the code in order to develop the project. Upon discussion and review, staff is able to support a majority of the requested waivers. The waivers are: 1. Allow private streets within the project with gated entry/exits. 2. Allow cut/fill exceeding 10 feet but not more than 15 feet on up to 20 percent of the site except for the storm water system that may have up to 35 feet of cut, as indicated on the cut/fill exhibit. 3. Allow individual retaining wall height up to a maximum of 12 feet as indicated on the conceptual site plan. 4. Allow roll out trash collection for each building. If additional trash collection is required, an onsite compactor will be provided. The final waiver requested by the applicant, is not to be responsible for the construction of Hooks Street along the southern border of the property. Staff is unable to support this request since the continuation of Hooks Street will provide an additional east/west corridor parallel to SR 50 in the near future, offering some relief from SR 50. A condition for the developer to construct Hooks Street has been included in the PUD ordinance along with providing an option to seek impact fee credit from Lake County. Staff believes the proposal meets the standards in regards to Section 122-315, Review Criteria for a PUD. The applicant is requesting five waivers. A majority of the waivers have been requested before in other Planned Unit Developments. With the amended developer's agreement, the applicant has been able to move forward with the request that was previously prohibited. The request for the affordable housing density bonus units allowable under Ordinance 2018-30 have provided a mechanism for the increased density from 197 units up to 281 units or 17.1 dwelling units per acre. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2019-46 for an amendment to a PUD to allow 281 multifamily units to be developed in substantial accordance with the Conceptual Sketch, Sheet SP-04, prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Lee Shirah, 800 Highland Avenue, stated this project would be a gated community Class A apartment complex classification. The property was rezoned commercial and feels the major issue is traffic. The site plan was revised with the help of Fred Schneider. Hancock Road will be extended to the edge of the subject property. A meeting with City staff and County staff was held to discuss the extension. The applicant will pay for the extension. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 The applicant has agreed to the County's request for donation of right of way, as the road is too narrow. However, this will eliminate the walls. The applicant has agreed to grade the property so there is a slope. There will be a school pick up area for students off Hooks Road. Lance, Davis Development, Atlanta, Georgia, presented the project site plan, amenities and features. The apartment complex will offer a higher quality and be an asset to the City of Clermont as well as a better traffic solution. The buildings have changed somewhat. Fred Hazel, Development Group, met with the surrounding homeowners in March. There were comments made at the Planning and Zoning meeting. The project has been a collaborative effort with the City and the County on traffic issues. The project is similar to a hotel with the project having freight elevators. Affordable units, which are the first to exercise that in the City. Lance, Davis Development, the Traffic Engineer is also present to answer any questions. Mayor Ash opened the Public Hearing. Damaris Moraza, 2698 Pine Shadow Lane, expressed opposition to the project. Stephen Franklin, 378 12th Street, expressed concern for the increase in density and for the size of Hancock Road. Wayne Pae, 2694 Pine Shadow Lane, expressed opposition to the project. Marion Ringwood, 1808 Nature Cove Lane, expressed opposition to the project. Max Krzyminski, 3497 Embers Lane, suggested tabling the matter and discussing it at a future workshop.

Council Member Travis stated the Council has previously declared no new projects when the County has not fixed roads. City Manager Gray replied Commissioner Parks is leading a charge to work on making Hancock Road into a four -lane road. Council Member Travis stated the project looks like a beautiful development but expressed opposition to approving the project before Hooks Street has been finished. Mayor Ash expressed concern for traffic. Council Member Brishke expressed agreement with Mayor Ash. City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 10, 2019 Council Member Purvis expressed support for the project. Mayor Ash requested clarification of completion of Hooks Street to Hartle Road. City Manager Gray replied the applicant would be responsible for the portion alongside their development. City Attorney Mantzaris stated staff recommendation is to build. Mayor Ash expressed support for having the developer to do the whole distance. Council Member Travis moved to approve Ordinance No. 2019-46 contingent upon the Hooks Street extension being finished, seconded by Council Member Purvis for discussion Lee Shirah suggested not having access to Hooks Street in order to eliminate all issues. Rather the project could have access behind the 7-11 convenience store. Mayor Ash inquired if the applicant would be willing to complete Hooks Street to the end of the development. Lee Shirah replied the applicant is working with the County to complete the road extensions and would suggest using the North access until the road extensions are open. Council Member Bates expressed concerns regarding traffic issue and opposition to the project. Mayor Ash expressed opposition to the project. The motion failed on a 2 to 3 roll call vote with Council Member Purvis and Council Member Travis in support.
