02-16-1998 Special Meetingi MEMORANDUM Date: Febniary 13, 1998 To: Planning and Zoning Commission Members From: Barry Brown, Principal Planner Re: Special Meeting to finish the review of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report A Special Meeting is being called for Monday, February 16, 1998 at 7pm in the Council Chambers at the Police Station. The purpose of this meeting is to review the enclosed Capital Improvements, Intergovernmental Coordination, and Future Land Use Elements. This should be the final meeting regarding the Evaluation and Appraisal Report. Please call me at 394-4083 if you have questions. ~ ~ 02/13/98 ' FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT V ,: L Condition of the Future Land Use Element at the Time of Plan Adoption The historical economic base of Clermont was agriculture. However, the killing freezes of the 1980's devastated the citrus industry and opened a vast amount of acreage for future development. The City was divided east and west by U. S. 27. The west side was essentially developed whereas the east side was largely vacant land formerly in citrus production. It was apparent the future growth in terms of population, development, and annexation would occur on the east side of town. In 1991, Clermont had a land area of approximately 6.8 square miles or 4,324 acres. Of this, 42% was existing urban land use, 50% was vacant and open land, and the remainder was either water or wetland areas. Residential properties comprised 21% of the existing land use, roads and highways 12%, public grounds and facilities 5%, commercial and professional office uses 3%, and industrial uses .7%. The population of Clermont grew from 5,461 in 1980 to 6,642 in 1989, a moderate increase of 2.4 % per year. The moderate growth rate of the eighties was projected to be outpaced by more rapid gowth in the 1990's. Population was conservatively projected to grow to 9,356 by 2001, an increase of 40% or 3,4% per year. A combination of factors contributed to this assessment: vast amounts of land poised for development, the continued growth of the Orlando area and the demand for affordable housing, lower development costs including lower land prices and impact fees, and programmed transportation improvements. Based on the existing per capita land use and the amount of vacant property, Clermont was forecast to have ample land available to meet the future demands of the projected population. The City was also projected to continue to grow in land size primarily due to its role as the regional utility provider. IL Current Condition of the Element In 1996, the comprehensive plan was amended to recognize the annexation of 568.6 acres of land and to create additional future land use districts for the annexed lands (see attached Exhibit "A"). The amendment also included revisions to Policy 1-5 regarding commercial and industrial intensities (see Exhibit "B"). Clermont has been designated the regional utility provider and has the full cooperation of Lake County for the provision of utilities in its Chapter 180 F.S. Service Area. The 1996 construction of a new wastewater treatment facility and a potable water system on the East Side of town has given Clermont ample capacity to serve this growing area. Its 1 ~t 02/13/98 designation as the regional service provider as well as the available system capacity will allow Clermont to continue to grow in land area as well as population. IIL Comparison of Ptan Objectives with Actual Results Objective 1: Consistent with the time frames delineated by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the City shall prepare, adopt, implement and enforce Land Development Regulations which effectively guide and manage future growth. In accordance with Florida Statutes and the Comprehensive Plan, Clermont adopted Land Development Regulations in 1994. The LDRs regulate the subdivision of land; the use of land and water; areas subject to flooding; environmentally sensitive lands; signage; stormwater management and protection of potable water well fields. The LDRs also require that all development be reviewed for its impact on public facilities and services and that adopted levels of service are maintained. Objective 2: The City through adoption of the Future Land Use Element, and the adoption of Land Development Regulations consistent with the time frames delineated by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, shall provide and ensure future development and redevelopment activities are located in appropriate areas of the City as illustrated on the adopted Future Land Use Map; which shall be consistent with sound planning principles, and provides for control of urban sprawl in conformance with directives of the adopted Future Land Use Element. Future Land Use approvals shall be coordinated with and based upon suitable and appropriate topographic features, soil conditions and availability of facilities and services. The LDRs are the rules and regulations that implement the Comprehensive Plan. As such the LDRs are drafted to direct the appropriate location of future land uses and to discourage urban sprawl and leap-frog development. They concentrate high density and intensity development in and around areas that are adequately served by transportation facilities, public utilities, and community services and facilities. For example, high intensity commercial activities are concentrated in commercial nodes located near roadway intersections and buffered from residential uses. Additionally, the LDRs provide environmental protection by requiring central water and sewer systems for new urban developments and prohibiting development in wetlands and floodplain areas. Objective 3: Upon Comprehensive Plan adoption, the City shall provide appropriate Land Development Regulations and review measures to ensure that all public facilities and services necessary to meet adopted level of service standards are available concurrent with the impacts of the development. Adopted in 1994, the Land Development Regulations include level of service standards and concurrency review procedures. These standards ensure that adequate roadway capacity, potable water, wastewater treatment, solid waste disposal, parks and recreation 2 i ~` 02/13/98 ~~~ .' ~ ~~ ~ ~ . facilities, and stormwater drainage are available to meet the demands of new development. To ensure concurrency, each new development proposal must undergo a project review to assess its impacts and to determine the necessary improvements and the timing of those improvements. Objective 4: Consistent with the time frames delineated by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the City shall provide necessary measures to ensure preservation and conservation of known historical resources. During the life of Clermont, three major fires destroyed many potentially historic structures and eliminated the continuity required for a historical district designation. Therefore, the City has not adopted a historic preservation ordinance and does not feel this is necessary. However, the City will continue to encourage residents to apply for historic designation from the State of Florida or the National Register of I-Fistoric Places and will ensure protection of any structure so designated. As a part of the 1984 City Centennial program and again as part of the original comprehensive plan adoption process, a survey was conducted to identify homes and structures with historical significance. A Gst of these sites can be found in Appendix A of the Housing Element. Objective 5: Upon plan adoption the City shall implement Housing Element directives for renewal and revitalization of substandard housing target areas within time frames and scope of assistance as identified within the element, Since plan adoption, the City has applied for and received two Community Development Block Grants, which have been used to rehabilitate forty-six (46) and replace two (2) owner occupied housing units. Additionally, the City has established a Community Redevelopment Agency to direct downtown revitalization efforts. The CRA's proposed redevelopment plan identifies potential funding sources and outlines a plan for improving neighborhood quality in the downtown and surrounding areas. As part of the original comprehensive plan adoption process, the City identified certain portions of the Lincoln Park neighborhood and Chestnut Street area for improvements, including: rehabilitation of substandard housing, increased code enforcement activity, demolition of unsafe structures, and community revitalization initiatives. The Parks and Recreation Committee is currently meeting with residents of Lincoln Park to develop a plan for the constnaction of a neighborhood park. In addition, a Lincoln Park Revitalization Task Force has been formed to address resident concerns and guide improvements in the neighborhood. This task force includes area residents and is holding workshops to elicit resident input on how their community can be improved. Since plan adoption, aggressive code enforcement efforts have resulted in the removal of over 24 units. Within the last two years alone, the City Code Enforcement Board has ordered the demolition of at least eleven structures. An eight-unit apartment building and three abandoned residences were razed and seven other structures were burned by the Clermont Fire Department. 3 -/ 02/13/98 ~j .~.~ ~ , l ~ Objective 6: Upon plan adoption the City shall provide specific mechanisms which reduce or eliminate existing land uses that are inconsistent with the community's character. The Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3, Article III "Nonconformance Provisions" and Chapter 7 "Zoning District Regulations" of the Land Development Regulations provide guidelines for the location of land uses and the reduction or elimination of existing land uses that are inconsistent with the community's character. The City's development regulations include standards governing the type, character and density of land use and the height and placement of buildings. Where land uses that could potentially be incompatible with adjacent development may occur, the land development regulations require significant buffering to minimize potential adverse impacts. Objective 7: Within the time frames established by 163.3202, Florida Statutes, the City shall investigate, adopt, initiate, and enforce Land Development Regulations to ensure the protection of the City's natural and historic resources. In 1994, Clermont adopted Land Development Regulations that ensure protection of the City's natural and historic resources. Wetland, floodplain, and aquifer protection are addressed in Chapter 9 "Environmental Protection" of the LDRs. Wildlife habitat and unique vegetative communities afforded protection in Chapter 10 "Clearing, Grading, and Stormwater Management." Groundwater resources are addressed in Chapter 9, Article III by establishing regulations for the protection of public well fields and aquifer recharge areas. Chapter 10 affords surface water protection by establishing basic performance and design standards for stormwater management systems. Also, the natural functions of the 100-year floodplain are protected by a minimum setback of 25 ft. from the mean high water elevation per Chapter 9 of the LDRs. Objective 8: In conformance with concurrency objectives of the adopted comprehensive plan the City shall ensure that suitable land is available for utility facilities to support proposed development` All proposed development must go through the site review process. At this time the site review committee determines what infrastructure improvements are necessary to serve the site, such as oversizing or extension of utility lines. Through the payment of impact fees and other development exactions, new developments provide a pro rata share of the utility facilities they require. The demand for utility sites and facilities is addressed during the capital planning process and delineated in the 5-Year Schedule of Improvements. Objective 9: Within the time frames estab{fished by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the City shall adopt a Land Development Code that contains directives that utilize innovative Land Development Regulations. • 02/13/98 ~,,~ ~~- The City seeks to encourage sustainable development that enhances the quality of life and maximizes long-term asset value for the community and its citizens. The City also promotes development patterns that allow delivery of services in the most efficient and least costly manner. Accordingly, the adopted Land Development Regulations encourage innovative approaches to land development such as planned unit developments and cluster housing. Planned Unit Developments (PUD) encourage the creation of a more complete living environment through the application of enlightened and imaginative approaches to community planning and shelter design. They allow for a variety of architectural solutions, provide for the preservation of natural features and scenic areas, reduce land consumption by roads, separate vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems, originate approaches to meaningful integration of open space networks and recreation within the development, and establish neighborhood identity. Objective 10: Although the City of Clermont is not located within the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern an not subject to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, the City shall cooperate with the appropriate state and local agencies responsible for regulation and management of the resource. The City of Clermont cooperates with the Department of Community Affairs, SJRWMD, FDEP, Lake County and other appropriate state and local agencies that have jurisdictional authority or responsibility for regulation and management of the Green Swamg ACSC. Also, the Clermont chain of lakes are designated as Outstanding Florida Waters and the City coordinates proposed projects and programs with ail appropriate agencies to protect this significant environmental resource. Objective 11: The City of Clermont hereby adopts the Concurrency Management System provided in Appendiz "D" of the Future Land Use Element as the mechanism to monitor and assure that public facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of development. The City uses the adopted Concunency Management system as a mechanism to monitor and assure that public facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of development. IV. Analysis of Major Problems and Social and Economic Effects There have been no major problems that effect the element. 5 • 02/13/98 `~' ~ ~ V. Assessment of Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities At the time of plan adoption, the future growth and development patterns were fairly apparent, as was the future need for water and sewer systems on the East Side of the City. Several unforeseen factors emerged to create the opportunity to construct these facilities. EDB contamination in the area had the FDEP looking for a safe supply of water for area residents. The County had approved Kings Ridge and other large developments in the area subject to the availability of central water and sewer services. With commitments from FDEP and private developers in dollars and land, the City proceeded to successfully effect a bonding progam and construct the East Side facilities. These facilities provide safe drinking water and reduce the environmental impact of development in the area. They also enable the City to meet the future demand for essential services. VL Effect of Statutory and Rule Changes Rule Changes Rule: 9J-5.006(I)(b) l . Change: New requirement to map existing public potable waterwells and wellhead protection areas.

S. Bureau of the Census USBC State of Florida Department of Transportation FDOT Department of Community Affairs FDCA Department of Environmental Protection FDEP Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services FDHRS Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services FDACS Department of State, Division of Historical Resources FDOS Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission FGFWFC Florida Housing Finance Agency FHFA Re Tonal A encies East Central Florida Regional Planning Council ECFRPC Local Governments and Boards Lake County Lake County School Board Lake County Housing Authority City of Minneola IndependentIndependent Special Districts and AuthoritiesDistricts and Authorities Lake County Water Authority LCWA St. Johns River Water Management District SJRWMD Lake County Hospital Taxing District The City also had working relationships with the following private sector entities: United Telephone of Florida Sumter Electric Company Cable Vision of Central Florida Florida Power Corporation • 02/ 13/98 Lake Apopka Natural Gas Various Solid Waste Service Providers , :_ 3' ,'°~* ,• _ ~; ,., . Growth and development create impacts that transcend jurisdictional boundaries. Therefore, successful efforts to manage gowth and mitigate its impacts are the product of effective working relationships among local governments and regional and state agencies. The City recognized that formal procedures-and agreements would enhance collaboration between governments. In an effort to create a mutually compatible growth management framework, Lake County and the City of Clermont entered into an interlocal agreement in 1987 to establish a joint planning area. The intent of the agreement was to provide for the establishment of joint planning committees to comprehensively plan for and prepared the joint planning area for annexation into the city. Cooperative efforts were to assure mutual agreement upon land use designation, utilization, and levels of service to be provided within the joint planning area. The jurisdictions were to implement both formal and informal modes of communication and coordination to address development in the areas. Joint planning committees were never formed and the joint planning area agreement was not implemented and was therefore considered invalid by the City. Again in 1994, the City of Clermont along with other municipalities in Lake County sought to establish formal planning procedures for the unincorporated areas surrounding their delimited boundaries. The Cities worked with officials from the DCA, land-use attorneys, planning consultants, and Lake County staff in an effort to create a formal process to prepare unincorporated areas for eventual annexation. Discussions involved redefining joint planning area boundaries, creation of joint future land use categories, annexation issues, and sovereignty of land development regulations. For the cities, the core issue was the use of city land development regulations in areas that would be provided city services and would eventually be annexed. Negotiations with County staff were positive, however, it was the reluctance of the Lake County Board of County Commissioners to relinquish any control of land use, including use of City development regulations, that kept these efforts from fruition. At the time of plan adoption, coordination consisted of an informal sharing of information between City and County planning departments. When it was determined that development impacts would cross jurisdictional boundaries, comment was requested from the impacted jurisdiction. II. Current Condition of the Element The City continues to place a high importance on intergovernmental coordination efforts. Growth and development in South Lake County has made coordination and communication with surrounding municipalities, Lake County, and regional and state agencies more important than ever. The City and Lake County continue to work together • • 02/13/98 ~ ~; ~ ~ ~ ,~ on a mostly informal basis regarding development review and planning for the provision of infrastructure. The Lake Minneola Trail, which is currently under construction, was the result of the combined efforts of The State of Florida, Lake County, and the City of Clermont. Rapid growth in and around Clermont has created Beater coordination between the County and City in provision of services and mitigation of impacts. The City works in an on going basis with the County and FDOT to protect the level of service on classified roadways. Also, the process of reviewing the Kings Ridge DRI has enhanced the relationships between staffs from the DCA, FDOT, ECFRPC, and Lake County. III. Comaarison of Plan Objectives with Actual Results Objective 1: Upon plan adoption the City shall initiate formal mechanisms, process, and Memorandums of Agreement which establish specific intergovernmental coordinatian activities to occur on a systematic basis. The City and County have both formal and informal agreements that promote intergovernmental communication and coordination. Although a joint planning area agreement is not currently in place, the City and County have an informal agreement to jointly review new development proposals that may impact both jurisdictions. By jointly reviewing new projects, the impacts to existing levels of service can be assessed and the location and timing of future development can be discussed. For example, both jurisdictions are working to avoid strip commercial on S.R. 50 and U.S. 27 by directing commercial development to intersections and designated commercial nodes. They are also working to protect groundwater resources by requiring central water and sewer for large developments. In addition, the City has a formal agreement to participate in the County's transportation concurrency progam and the transportation impact fee program. The City has an on going dialogue with the City of Minneola to address annexation and the provision of public facilities and services. The City has retained the ECFRPC to assist in long range transportation planning. In addition, the City has submitted a written request to the FDOT to complete a PLEMO study for S.R 50 from the western city limits to the turnpike interchange at Killarney. Objective 2: Upon plan adoption the City shall implement formal and informal processes, memorandums of agreement, and coordination mechanisms that establish appropriate level of service standards, consistency and compatibility between the City's adopted comprehensive plan and the mandated plans and legislated activities of Federal, State and Regional governments or agencies empowered with jurisdictional and quasi-jurisdictional authority andlor service facility provision and maintenance responsibility. • 02/13/98 . z. ...A>~ ~ ~:~ At the time of adoption, the plan was consistent and compatible with plans of all governments and agencies whose jurisdictional authorities include the City of Clermont. The City works on an ongoing basis with the SJRWMD, DEP, and FEMA to ensure water quality, stormwater drainage, and flood control standards are current and enforced. Since plan adoption, U.S. 27 has been designated an FIHS facility by the FDOT. The City is working with FDOT to maintain the required minimum level of service on this roadway. The City coordinated with Lake County, SJRWNID, and DEP in locating the new wastewater treatment facilities and the potable water tank and wells on the Eastside of Clermont. The City also worked with the DEP to provide safe drinking water to County residents with EDB contaminated wells. The Lake County School Board is included in the review of major development projects so that school siting needs can be determined. During the EAR process, the Comprehensive Plan will be revised to meet changes in State laws and agency rules and regulations. Objective 3: Upon plan adoption the City shall provide appropriate mechanisms to coordinate information and programs for the provision of housing and recreational facilities. The City supports the efforts of those rehabilitating historical structures and those seeking formal historical designations. In 1997, the City established a Community Redevelopment Agency for downtown Clermont. The CRA and its redevelopment activities should promote rehabilitation and the preservation of historically significant structures. The City is currently negotiating with the Lake County School Board for the purchase of or a long-term lease on property in East Clermont to develop a neighborhood park and recreation facility. IV.

L Condition of the Element at the Time of Plan Adoption At the time of adoption, the City had a capital budgeting program that annually produced a Five-Year Schedule of Improvements. In accordance with Chapter 163, the capital budget projected future capital needs based on adopted level of service standards, identified funding source(s), and scheduled the capital expenditures. In general it was projected that the City would be able to fund all needed capital improvements that had been identified in the Comprehensive Plan. In 1991, the only existing capital needs that had been identified were in the Drainage Sub- element and the Recreation and Open Space Element. A study to determine the magnitude and hydraulic capacity of the drainage system was scheduled for completion by FY 1993-94. Upon completion of the study, identified capital needs were to be included in the Five-Year Schedule of Improvements. In the Recreation and Open Space Element an existing need for 5 picnic tables was identified. II. Current Condition of the Element The City continues to prepare a 5-Year Schedule of Improvements on an annual basis. See attached Exhibit "A" for current Schedule of Improvements. Currently all facilities meet adopted level of service standards. Scheduled recreation facility improvements include completion of the Lake 11~inneola waterfront project and initial construction of a new park on Hancock Road. Drainage improvements include citywide upgades and a retrofitting of the Central Business District with stormwater retention and treatment. Expansion of the East Side wastewater treatment facility and improvements to the West Side sewer system account for the majority of scheduled utilities improvements. I:IL Comparison of Plan Objectives with Actual Results Objective 1: Land use decisions (including future land use map amendments and all development orders) shall be coordinated with the City's financial commitment to ezpand facilities as stated in the 5-year Schedule of Improvements, and 5-year Capital Lnprovements Program, for the purposes of providing facilities that serve existing and future development at the adopted level of service standards. Future development will bear proportionate costs of improvements necessitated by the development in the forms of impact fees, service charges, dedication, provision of physical improvements, or other forms of impact exactions in conformance with requirements adopted in the City Land Development Regulations, other ordinances, and adopted goals, objectives and policies of other plan elements. • • 02/13/98 ~, , {- .~ The City does not issue development orders unless capital facilities are or will be functioning at adopted level of service standards concurrent with the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Pursuant to the adopted Land Development Regulations, the City requires dedication of land, payment-in-lieu of dedication, or some other form of impact exaction from development projects for the purpose of maintaining capital facilities at the adopted level of service standards. The City continues to participate with Lake County in the transportation impact fee program. Objective 2: Decisions regarding the issuance of development orders and permits will be based upon coordination of the development requirements included in this plan, the City's Land Development Regulations, and the availability of necessary public facilities needed to support proposed development. Chapter 4 "Concurrenc}~' of the adopted Land Development Regulations provides for a systematic process for the review and evaluation of all proposed development for its impact on basic public facilities and services, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J-5.0055, Florida Administrative Code. No final development order shall be granted for a proposed development until there is a finding that all public facilities and services have sufficient capacity at or above their adopted level-of-service (LOS) to accommodate the impacts of the development, or that improvements necessary to bring facilities up to their adopted LOS will be in place concurrent with the impacts of the development. Objective 3: The Capital Improvements Element shall be updated annually to reflect ezisting and projected capital needs in accordance with the adopted level of service standards, for the purpose of assessing the costs of those needs against projected revenues and ezpenditures. The Capital Improvements Element will continue to be updated on the required annual basis to reflect projected capital needs per the 1997-98 5-Year Schedule of Improvements. Objective 4: Beginning with the 1991-92 City budget, a 5-year capital improvements plan shall be provided along with the annual budget in order to prioritize the reservation of funds for needed future capital facilities. The City's Finance Director prepares a 5-Year Capital Improvements Plan on an annual basis along with the City's annual budget. Objective 5: Capita! improvements will be provided to correct ezisting deficiencies, to accommodate desired future growth, and to replace worn-out or obsolete facilities, as indicated in the 5-Year Schedule of Improvements of this element. 2 ,~ 02/13/98 ._~,~~,' ,~',~~ :::aa~. n1 `.~~ A: M .., .,~ ,~ r~ The City Council, City Manager, and department directors meet annually to identify, evaluate and rank capital projects necessary to correct existing deficiencies, accommodate future growth and to replace worn out or obsolete facilities.
