c
�.,N_ CITY OF CLERMONT
;: —_ T ORDINANCE NO.2018-28
Off-street parking areas, including required parking spaces, access ways, buffers and
related off-street parking appurtenances, shall be provided for all buildings and uses on the
premises. The requirements of this Chapter shall apply to all development, whether new
structures or alterations to existing structures.
(a) Compliance with Regulations. The requirements for off-street parking applicable to
any use shalt be a continuing obligation of the owner and occupant of the property on which any such
use is located, so long as the use is in existence. It shall be unlawful for an owner or occupant of any
use affected by this Section to discontinue, change, dispense with, or in any way cause a change in
the size, design or number of parking spaces required by this Section, apart from the discontinuance
of such use, without establishing alternative parking spaces which meet the requirements of this
Section, or for any person to use such building without acquiring such land for parking which meets
the requirements of this Section. In addition, parking spaces required by this Section shall not be
made unusable or inaccessible in any way during the life of the use served by such parking spaces,
except as required for maintenance and repair. This section shall not prohibit the replacement or
reconfiguration of parking spaces at grade, below grade or above grade to comply with the
requirements of this Section.
(Code 1998, § 98-2; Ord. No. 281-C, § 1(ch. 12, § 2(A)), 11-8-1994)
Section 98-3 Parking spaces

1) Standard parking spaces. Standard parking spaces shall consist of a minimum
net area of 200 square feet, with a minimum width of ten feet and a minimum length of 20 feet. All
standard spaces shall be striped. Parking space depth may be reduced to 18 feet when spaces are
perpendicular to perimeter landscaped buffers, do not include wheel stops, and the required
minimum perimeter buffer width is expanded by a minimum of 2 feet.
2) Compact parking spaces. Compact parking spaces shall be 9 feet wide and 17
feet long. All compact spaces shall be double striped.
3) Oversized spaces. Oversized spaces shall be 10 feet wide and 35 feet long. All
oversized spaces shall be striped.
(b) Number ofspaces. The minimum off-street space requirements for all uses shall be in
accordance with the table of minimum off-street parking space requirements in Section 98-14.
(c) Mixed use development. Where a mixed -use development is proposed, the parking
standards for each individual proposed use shall be required. A parking study may be submitted to
the Administrative Official to justify modifications to this requirement, such that shared parking can
be justified based on the complimentary nature of the proposed uses and offsetting peak parking
demands. The Administrative Official shall ensure that the minimum number of spaces necessary to
accommodate the mix of uses is provided on site to accommodate peak parking demand while
reducing the overall amount of land devoted to parking to the greatest extent possible.
(d) Large-scale development. Certain large-scale uses, such as planned development
projects, normally have a diversity and variability in parking demand. In such cases, a parking study
CITY OF CLERMONT
d .... ORDINANCE NO.2018-28
is required to be submitted with the development proposal to identify the necessary parking
requirement. The final decision on the amount of parking shall be determined by the development
review committee in consideration of the parking study along with traffic engineering and planning
data that is appropriate to the proposed development and intended use. The outcome should reduce
the overall amount of land dedicated to parking while ensuring that typical daily peak parking
demand is accommodated.

produced, may provide parking surfaces of wood mulch or other materials after obtaining approval
fioni the development review committee. In granting such a request, the development review
romunittee shall consider the following matters:
1) The type of partially pervious material or type of wood mulch to be used for

to be mulched.
6) Surfacing shall not be less than three inches of clean bark mulch, free from
chips and sticks, after wetting and rolling.
7) Mulched areas shall be contained by concrete ribbon curbing, pressure -treated

Section 98-17 Parking in the Central Business District (CBD) Zoning District
(a) The Central Business District represents the historic core of the City built upon a
gridded street system with a mix of land uses with a strong pedestrian orientation. The streets are
designed to accommodate on -street parking, adding to the overall inventory of publicly accessible
parking. In order to achieve the desired development objectives of the downtown, the City
recognizes that parking for existing uses and new uses can be accommodated through on -site spaces
or on an off -site (remote parking) location.
(b) Location of Required Parking Spaces
I ) Parking spaces required by this Section in the Central Business District zoning
district shall be located on the same building site as the use they serve, or on a properly zoned lot
within a specified distance of the building site (remote parking). The acceptable distance for remote
parking varies by user as follows:
Off -site Remote Parkin
Customer
Employee
1320'
2640'
(c) Remote Parking Encumbrance.
Whenever parking required by this Section is not located on the same building site as the use
it serves, the applicant for such use shall submit with the application an instrument duly executed,
approved by the City Attorney, and recorded in the Public Records of Lake County, Florida, which
subjects the parcels or tracts of land to parking uses in connection with the principal use for which it
is available. Such instrument shalt be irrevocable to ensure that the proposed use retains the number
of parking spaces required by this Section. Should the use of the remote parking site become
unavailable for continued use for remote parking, the owner and/or tenant must replace the lost
parking with an acceptable alternative such that the land use is continually served by parking in
compliance with this Section.
(d) In an effort to foster revitalization and enhancement of the Central Business District,
parking space credits shall be granted to existing structures and vacant land in the following manner:
(1) Existing structures located in the Central Business District shall be given a
parking space credit equal to the parking space requirements for the current use of the structure. For
structures with more than one use, calculation of the credit is based on the amount of square footage
devoted to each particular use.
(2) For existing nonresidential structures, no additional parking spaces shall be
required for a change in use to another nonresidential use, provided the square footage remains the
same.
(3) Residential uses changing to nonresidential must provide parking equivalent
to those nonresidential uses as required by this section.
16
CITY OF amuow
• ORDINANCE NO.2018-28
(4) All vacant parcels changing to either residential or nonresidential must
provide parking equivalent to those residential or nonresidential uses as required by this section.
(5) Parking spaces and/or parking space credits shall remain the sole possession of
the property for which they were initially provided. Parking space credits shall not be transferable
from one business location to another business location.
(6) Single-family residential structures and vacant parcels shall be given credit for
two spaces and multifamily structures shall be given credit for 1.5 spaces per unit.
(e) Vacant property being developed for new residential or nonresidential uses, shall be
required to provide off-street parking spaces consistent with this Section. A parking plan shall be
provided with all applications for individual development approval which shall clearly and
accurately designate the required parking spaces, required landscaped areas and planter islands,
access aisles and driveways and the relationship of the parking to the uses and structures the spaces
are intended to serve. All off-street parking facilities shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with the city's adopted engineering standards.

CHAPTER I
FUTURE LAND USE
GOAL 1: Ensure that the character, magnitude and location of all land uses provide a system
for orderly growth and development that achieves a balanced natural, physical and economic
environment and enhances the quality of life of all residents.
Objective 1.1: Discourage Urban Sprawl. The City shall discourage and/or reduce urban sprawl
through a future land use pattern that promotes orderly, compact development and the provision of
public facilities and services that minimize costs and environmental impacts and maximize efficiency.
Policy 1.1.1: Urban services such as water and sewer shall not be extended outside the Lake
County/Clermont Joint Planning Area QPA) without a companion land use plan amendment
modifying the boundary and amending the land uses. An exception may be considered where
public health, safety and welfare require a community water system or the extension of water
service to ensure safe potable water.
Policy 1.1.2: The City shall prioritize its capital improvements funding by assigning first priority
to the renewal, reuse and/or rehabilitation of existing facilities or to the replacement of existing
obsolete or worn out facilities.
Policy 1.1.3: The City shall encourage infill through the use of higher density and intensity land
use designations and mixed -use designations in appropriate locations.
Objective 1.2: Future Land Use Map Series. The City shall ensure that future development and
redevelopment activities are located in appropriate areas of the City by adopting a Future Land Use
Map Series included as Appendix A of this element that contains the Future Land Use Map (FLUM),
Future Transportation Map and Natural Resources Map, which together form the basis for
consideration of future land use plan amendments. The Future Land Use Map Series, along with the
City's land development regulations, shall reduce or eliminate existing land uses that are inconsistent with
the community's character.
Policy 1.2.1: The City shall consider the compatibility of adjacent future land use categories
during the land use plan amendment process. The City shall consider potential maximum
densities and intensities and the appropriate transition of uses, densities and intensities.
Policy 1.2.2: The land development regulations shall include provisions to reduce or eliminate
land uses that are inconsistent with the City's character and future land use, including those uses
that are inconsistent with hazard mitigation recommendations in the Lake County emergency
management plan.
Policy 1.2.3: The City shall discourage the continuation of nonconforming uses to the extent
established in the land development regulations. Redevelopment of the property will be allowed
only if it is consistent with the FLUM and the zoning district.
Policy 1.2.4: The adopted FLUM contains and identifies appropriate locations for the following
land use categories which were established to prevent urban sprawl, provide for the protection of
natural and historic resources and maximize economic development:

Objective 1.3: Conservation Land Use Category. The conservation category is established for the
long-term protection and preservation of publicly or privately owned lands that contain valuable and
threatened natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains and unique ecological communities.
Policy 1.3.1: Only passive open space and passive recreational activities shall be allowed in the
conservation category, limited to resource -enhancing facilities such as multi -purpose trails, bike
paths and natural land restoration projects. Interactive areas/facilities may be allowed as long as
they are provided and managed consistent with goals, objectives and policies of this element as
well as the goals, objectives, policies, standards and criteria set forth in the Conservation Element.
Policy 1.3.2: Lands designated as conservation on the FLUM may be counted toward meeting
the adopted level of service standards for recreation and open space for the City.
Policy 1.3.3: If it is impractical to designate the area containing conservation resources as
conservation land use due to size, location or other factors, the City shall have the option of
obtaining a conservation easement from the property owners to protect the area. Areas covered
by a conservation easement shall be treated the same as areas designated as conservation land use
on the FLUM.
Policy 1.3.4: No development is pern-ftted within the conservation category, except where state
and/or federal agencies having jurisdiction already allow development rights. The applicant shall
bear the burden of proof in determining that development shall not adversely impact conservation
resources. Site alteration, where allowed, shall be limited to 10 percent of the entire site.
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-2 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE
Objective 1.4: Parks Land Use Category. The parks category is established to provide sufficient
space for public and private parks that are open to the public for active and passive recreation use.
Policy 1.4.1: The parks land use category is intended to accommodate existing public parks and
recreation areas as well as committed public and semi-public open spaces. The maximum intensity
of buildings on site shall be 0.25 Floor -Area -Ratio (FAR).
Policy 1.4.2: Not all parks and recreational facilities are required to be shown as parks on the
FLUM. Park and recreation uses shall be allowed in other categories as support uses.
Objective 1.5: Public Facilities/Institutional Land Use Category. The public facilities/
institutional category is established for publicly -owned institutional parcels and privately- owned, non-
profit institutional parcels meeting threshold sizes established herein.
Policy 1.5.1: The public/institutional land use designation is intended to accommodate public and
semi-public services including government administration buildings; public schools and not- for -
profit educational institutions; hospital facilities and supportive health care units; arts, cultural or
civic facilities; essential public services and facilities; cemeteries; fire and emergency operation
facilities; utilities; public and semi-public open spaces and other similar activities. The maximum
intensity of institutional activity shall be 0.25 FAR.
Policy 1.5.2: Churches and religious institutions on parcels greater than two acres shall be
designated as public facilities/institutional future land use category on the FLUM, except those
within the master planned development and the downtown mixed -use land use categories.
Policy 1.5.3: Public and private schools on parcels greater than five acres shall be designated as
public facilities/institutional future land use category on the FLUM, except those within the master
planned development and the downtown mixed -use land use categories.
Policy 1.5.4: The City shall monitor the need for increased land area for public/institutional uses
and shall ensure that this land use designation on the FLUM is expanded to accommodate the
development of public and semi-public facilities such as government administration buildings; fire,
police and rescue services; educational institutions and similar public uses.
Objective 1.6: Residential Land Use Categories. The residential categories are established to
provide for the preservation of existing, predominantly residential neighborhoods. These categories
allow a range of housing types of low, medium and high residential densities at a maximum density of
up to 12 units per acre; however, densities higher than eight units per acre shall require a conditional
use permit or a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. Other uses allowed include supportive
accessory uses, churches and schools as conditional uses, minor public utilities (i.e., telephone
switching stations, lift stations, drainage infrastructure and similar facilities), parks and open space,
municipal facilities and other civic and cultural uses subject to standards and performance criteria set
forth in this plan and in the land development regulations. Based on current land use trends, the City
estimates that the mix of uses in the residential categories will be about 85 percent residential and 15
percent public facilities/institutional and recreation uses.
Policy 1.6.1: Low -Density Residential. Areas delineated on the FLUM for low -density

FUTURE LAND USE
Policy 2.1.2: Wellness Way is based upon providing sufficient land area to achieve a target of
1.25 to 1 jobs -to -housing ratio. The plan will also require significant open space set asides
within each PUD to ensure internal open space connectivity as well as connectivity to Lake
Louisa State Park and Orange County.
Objective 2.2: Economic Development Branding Strategy.
The City, in collaboration with Lake County, shall develop a comprehensive economic development
and branding strategy that achieves a target jobs -to -housing ratio within wellness way by focusing on
growth and retention of target industries and the complimentary land uses and infrastructure needed
to support them.
Policy 2.2.1: Jobs -To -Housing Ratio, Minimum Non -Residential Square Feet & Land
Area Set -Asides
The City shall seek to achieve a target jobs -to -housing ratio of 1.25 jobs per one (1) dwelling
unit (1.25:1) within Wellness Way. The target jobs -to -housing ratio will be achieved by ensuring
a minimum volume of employment generating non-residential uses can be accommodated
within the planning area. The City shall analyze each PUD submittal to ensure the PUD reserves
an adequate amount of land for employment uses to achieve the desired volume of non-
residential square footage that will produce the targeted ratio for the overall wellness way
planning area.
To ensure that an adequate volume of land is set aside to accommodate the required non-
residential square footage, a FLUC specific minimum FAR (as shown in Policy 2.3.2.) is
applied to the non- residential square footage requirement. All PUDs are required to set aside
enough acreage, as calculated above, to accommodate the required non-residential square
footage at the minimum average FAR. Land use types that can be counted towards the non-
residential square footage requirements include traditional, job -generating commercial, office
and industrial uses (where appropriate), as well as other job -generating land uses, such as
secondary education facilities, hotels, technical schools and hospitals/medical.
Policy 2.2.2: Target Industries
Non-residential employment development within Wellness Way shall target, but are not
limited to, a broad base of industry sectors. This will allow for a diverse and dynamic range of
economic development and job growth opportunities. Target industries may include:
A. Ag-Tech
B. Eco-tourism and Agri -tourism
C. Education and Health Services
D. Human Performance, Sports Medicine and Sports Training
E. Leisure and Hospitality
F. Manufacturing

Key to the success of Wellness Way will be the application of an advanced technology
infrastructure network. PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of technology
infrastructure to determine if the most current and innovative technologies are being utilized.
PUDs shall identify technology infrastructure corridors and shall develop a strategy for ensuring
the long-term viability of the technology infrastructure network.
Policy 2.2.4: Energy Conservation
A primary component of Wellness Way will be the use of alternative energy sources to
promote economic development. The use of sustainable energy generation will attract
businesses and foster the proliferation of green technology. Alternative energy resources
should be encouraged as a power source for residential and non- residential development alike.
PUDs should demonstrate how alternative energy sources will be incorporated into the
development when economically feasible.
Objective 2.3: Land Use, Hierarchy of Place and Wellness Corridors
The intent of Wellness Way is to create a fiscally efficient development pattern through a diversity of
land uses and locally appropriate urban form. The form shall promote land use densities, intensities
and mixed uses that integrate and support alternative transportation modes, decrease trip lengths, and
promote internal capture. The Framework Map shall guide the relationships of land use,
transportation, Wellness Space and is intended to provide a hierarchy of place within each PUD.

Policy 2.3.1: Future Land Use Categories
FUTURE LAND USE
The following six future land use categories, as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, are
intended to provide for a broad range of compatible and complimentary uses including
employment, housing, recreation, agriculture and conservation uses. The general purpose of
each category is described below. Specific allowable uses shall be provided for in the
implementing development regulations, design guidelines and standards.
A The Multi -Use FLUC is intended to be the primary concentration of employment and
non- residential uses in Wellness Way. There are two distinct Multi -Use Districts. The Multi -
Use W District is centered on the intersection of Wellness Way and US 27. The Multi -Use L
District, supporting increased options for logistics and distribution, occurs at the planned
County Road 455 and the Lake- Orange Connector expressway.
R The US 27 FLUC is intended to support moderate density residential, commercial, and
employment uses that serve the daily needs of the residents and employees from nearby
neighborhoods and workplaces. The district is not intended to create a conventional `strip
commercial' frontage along US 27.
C. The Neighborhood FLUC is intended to support lower density neighborhood
development outside the boundaries of Wellness Way's community and employment centers
in the US 27 and Multi- Use Districts. This is the largest district and requires flexibility in design
to accommodate neighborhood and housing types for many market segments.
D. The Conservation Subdivision FLUC is intended to promote a balance between carefully
designed residential development while supporting the ecological value of the `mosaic' of
wetlands and uplands that characterize the area. Recognition of wildlife corridors is central to
the purpose of the district.
E The Wellness Way North FLUC is intended to implement the existing Wellness Way Area
Plan allocation of low density residential with the required minimum of non-
residential/employment square footage.
F. The Water Consery II FLUC is intended to recognize the public ownership nature of the
land holding and as such, no private urban land uses are permitted. Public facilities, including
schools, utilities and other support facilities for public uses are permitted. Public access as an
open space amenity is highly encouraged.
Policy 2.3.2: Future Land Use Categories Capacity Allocation
Development potential within Wellness Way shall be determined utilizing the "Maximum
Capacity Allocation Table." The capacity calculations provided in the "Maximum Capacity
Allocation Table" determine the maximum number of residential units that can be constructed
within a PUD, and the minimum amount of non-residential acreage that must be set aside
within the PUD. Regardless of the actual buildable densities and intensities (see Policy 2.3.3
for density and intensity calculations), the MAXIMUM number of residential units within a
PUD cannot exceed the capacity calculations provided in the "Maximum Capacity Allocation
Table." Similarly, the set asides for non-residential uses cannot fall below the MINIMUM

Policy 2.3.3: Example Residential Capacity and Non -Residential Acreage Set -Aside
Calculation:
A proposed PUD contains 500 net acres (gross acres minus wetland acres minus water body
acres) within the NeigWthood District and 250 net acres within the Multi -Use District. The
Neighborhood District FLUC allows a Residential land allocation of up to 65% and requires
a Center land allocation of at least 5%. The Multi -Use District FLUC allows a Residential land
allocation of up to 50% and requires a Center land allocation of at least 20%. The
Neighborhood District FLUC allows a density of 3.60 dwelling units per net Residential acre
and requires a minimum average FAR of 0.30 per net Center acre. The Multi -Use District
FLUC allows a density of 8.00 dwelling units per net Residential acre and requires a minimum
average FAR of 0.30 per net Center acre.
Step 1: Land Allocation Calculation
• Neighborhood District
■ Residential Maximum: 500 net acres * 65% Residential = 325 acres
■ Center Minimum: 500 net acres * 5% Center = 25 acres
■ Open Space Minimum: 500 net acres * 30% Open Space = 150 acres
• Multi -Use District
■ Residential Maximum: 250 net acres * 50% Residential = 125 acres
■ Center Minimum: 250 net acres * 20% Center = 50 acres
■ Open Space Minimum: 250 net acres * 30% Open Space = 75 acres
• Total Land Allocation
■ Residential Maximum: 450 acres
■ Center Minimum: 75 acres
■ Open Space Minimum: 225 acres
Step 2: Maximum Density Calculation
• Neighborhood District: 500 net acres * 65% Residential * 3.6 du/ac = 1,170 dwelling units
• Multi -Use District: 250 net acres * 50% Residential * 8.0 du/ac = 1,000 dwelling units
• Total Dwelling Units: 2,170
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-18 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Step 3: Minimum Non -Residential Calculation
• Neighborhood District: 500 net acres * 5% Center * 0.30 FAR = 326,700 sf
• Multi -Use District: 250 net acres * 20% Center * 0.30 FAR = 653,400 sf
• Total Minimum Non -Residential Program = 980,100 sf
FUTURE LAND USE
Policy 2.3.4: Future Land Use Categories Density and Intensity Calculations
Within Wellness Way, density and intensity calculations provide guidelines for the
construction of residential units and non-residential square footage. Density and intensity
calculations do not determine the total number of residential units and non-residential square
footage allowed; those calculations are referred to as "capacity" and are provided in Policy
2.3.2. Densities and intensities are calculated utilizing "net buildable acres" (Gross acres minus
wetland acres minus water body acres minus designated open space, see Policy 2.3.9 for open
space guidelines) within the building footprint for that land use type (residential vs. non-
residential). The total number of residential units within a PUD cannot exceed the maximum
residential capacity calculation as indicated in Policy 2.3.2.2 The minimum and maximum net
density and intensity for any development site within a PUD is set by the following table:

Policy 2.3.9: Open Space
FUTURE LAND USE
A significant amount of land area in the form of open space and natural protected areas will
be protected in Wellness Way. The natural protected areas include wetlands and water bodies.
Open space will be divided into two separate categories, Wellness Space and Green Space,
with each type allowing different uses.
Wellness Space includes land area that remains minimally developed, such as trails and
boardwalks, as part of a natural resource preserve or active/passive recreation area.
Wellness Space also includes land area open to public access and gathering places, such as
parks, piazzas, plazas and urban squares. Wellness Space may include permeable storm
water areas if enhanced as amenities using native vegetation. Open water bodies,
completely surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space, may also be counted as
Wellness Space.
Green Space includes land areas for the purpose of protecting natural resources or
environmental quality, including areas designated for such purposes as flood control,
protection of quality or quantity of groundwater or surface water, or protection of
vegetative communities or wildlife habitat and shall include land preserved for
conservation purposes. Green Space should be maintained in such a way to encourage the
proliferation of native flora and fauna. Active recreation is prohibited in Green Space;
passive recreation is allowed in Green Space.
Policy 2.3.10: Minimum Wellness and Green Space Allocation
All PUDs will identify and reserve 20% of the net acres as Wellness Space and 10% of the net
acres as Green Space. Wetlands and water bodies cannot be counted towards a PUD's Wellness
Space or Green Space allocation, with the exception of water bodies that are completely
surrounded by uninterrupted Wellness Space, in which case, up to 25% of the water body may
be counted towards the Open Space requirement. A 50-foot-wide continuous upland buffer is
required around all wetlands and waterbodies counted towards Open Space.

Objective 2.5: Natural and Scenic Resources
FUTURE LAND USE
Wellness Way is home to many natural resources; the area consists of xeric uplands, wetlands and
surface waters, most notably Trout Lake, Adain Lake, Sawgrass Lake, and the Urban Service Area
borders Johns Lake to the north. The Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) shall provide for the
conservation of significant natural, scenic and cultural resources through the creation of an
interconnected open space known as the Wellness Corridor (WC) network within Wellness Way. These
resources and corridors shall be specifically demonstrated in the PUDs.
The City shall protect its natural resources in Wellness Way through adoption of PUDs that promote
the preservation or conservation of environmentally sensitive lands to include habitats containing listed
animal and plant species. Natural resource protection shall be achieved through mechanisms such as
buffer requirements, lower allowable densities in environmentally sensitive areas, open space
preservation requirements, removal of exotic plan and animal species, maintenance of corridors,
preservation of native vegetation, control of hydrological characteristics, and through use of clustering
to help minimize the effect of development. The permanent preservation of suitable areas through
recordation of conservation easements, consistent with s. 704.06 FS, as amended, shall correspond with
each development phase or stage.
Policy 2.5.1: Identification of Environmentally Sensitive Areas

analyzed closely for permanent preservation. Large habitat patches in close proximity to each
other provide for the greatest species diversity and minimizes extinction probabilities; small
patches that are isolated are less likely to preserve species. Habitat fragmentation shall be
discouraged. If preserved, these areas may serve as relocation sites for gopher tortoises, sand
skinks, and other xeric-adapted species that may be present within the Wellness Way and
surrounding areas.
Policy 2.5.7: Creation of The Natural Components of The Wellness Corridor Network
At build -out, Wellness Way shall contain a large, interconnected WC network comprised of
water bodies, wetlands, open space, important upland habitats and publicly owned lands. This
system shall serve to protect environmentally sensitive lands, allow for the continued and safe
movement of wildlife and provide for significant passive recreation areas for the residents,
employees and visitors.
Native Vegetation within Corridors
Non-native landscape species shall be prohibited within these corridors, with the
exception of turf grass used as road or yard stabilizer. Vegetation identified on the Florida
Exotic Pest Plant Council's List of Invasive Plant Species shall be prohibited.
Movement of Wildlife Crossings
Collaboration with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Florida Department of Transportation shall be
required to establish standards and locations for the movement of wildlife on public roads
and other corridors, as well as ensuring the crossings or corridors are of the appropriate
size.
Each PUD shall be reviewed for consistency with this policy during the approval process.

CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE
Policy 2.5.8: Site Development Standards
Collaboration with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission shall be required
to prepare a site development plan based on standards that promote preservation of wildlife
during development and promote the provision of usable habitat post -development. Site
development standards shall include, but are not limited to, monitoring, low -voltage lighting,
berms, and fencing. Post -development measures may include, but are not limited to, planting
of native vegetation, low -voltage lighting, berms, and fencing. The City shall also require that
vegetative communities and wildlife habitats be protected from adverse effects associated with
development.
The PUDs shall include provisions to require that development preserve wetlands and
portions of developable uplands containing designated species or rare upland habitats. The
permanent preservation of suitable areas through recordation of conservation easements,
consistent with s. 704.06 FS, as amended, shall correspond with each development phase or
stage. The PUD shall ensure the protection of trees and native vegetation with a target of
protecting 50% of trees onsite. As appropriate, a tree replacement ratio may be implemented
based on type and caliper. Special consideration shall be given to rare upland habitats and
designated species within ecologically significant areas identified herein. The extent to which
preservation of vegetative communities and wildlife habitats shall be protected and
incorporated into protected open space on a development site, shall be determined during the
PUD process.
Policy 2.5.9: Water Conservation Based Landscaping
A significant amount of water resources are used for irrigation of landscaped spaces in
traditional developments. In recognition of the limited water resources available in South Lake
County, developers in Wellness Way shall base their landscaping plans on water conservation
principles and practices. Lake County may develop, and the City may require the
implementation of the recommendations in a landscape design handbook which provides
examples of water conserving landscape designs for commercial, residential and institutional
developments as well as planted right of way areas. The handbook designs will feature the use
of Florida native, drought tolerant species that require no irrigation once they have been
established. The handbook will contain several design examples, listing acceptable plants and
providing plan view layouts and pictorial representations of each design concept. Developers
within Wellness Way shall utilize the handbook designs or shall propose a landscape design that
conforms with water conservation principles for review during the permitting process.
Exceptions may be granted for designs that receive irrigation solely from retained stormwater.
Policy 2.5.10: Regulation for Reclaimed Water Shall Be Enforced to Prevent Adverse
Environmental Impacts.
The intent of Wellness Way is to require 100% of landscape irrigation be provided by re -use
water. Another type of non -potable water supply may be used for landscape irrigation if re-
use water is not available to the PUD. In no instance shall potable water be used for landscape
irrigation unless authorized by the St. Johns River Water Management District pursuant to
part II of Chapter 373, F.S.
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I 32 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE
Conservation programs, system interconnections and alternative water supply options such as
reclaimed water reuse and storage, shall occur when accessible. All development containing
irrigated open space shall be required to accept reclaimed water for irrigation when such
reclaimed water is available adjacent to the development's boundary. Connection shall be made
at the developer's cost consistent with the City of Clermont utility connection policies.
Objective 2.6: Public Facilities
The City shall require that all development be consistent with the Capital Improvements Element and
the approved facility and service plans in order to discourage urban sprawl, meet adopted level of service
standards, and thereby minimize associated public costs.
Policy 2.6.1: Identification of Water Supplies
All new development shall connect to non -potable sources of water, such as reclaimed
water, for landscape irrigation, when available. The availability of, and requirement to
connect to, Alternative Water Supplies, including reclaimed water, will be determined during
the PUD approval process unless the use of water from other water sources is authorized by
the St. Johns River Water Management District pursuant to part II of Chapter 373, F.S.
Policy 2.6.2: Potable and Re -Use Water Facilities
PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of potable and re -use water demand
required to accommodate projected impacts and maintain the City's adopted level of service
(LOS) for such facilities. If it is determined that sites and/or right-of-way is needed to
accommodate the projected impacts, then those sites shall be conveyed prior to the issuance
of building permits for development within the PUD.
Policy 2.6.3: Sanitary Sewer Facilities
PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of sanitary sewer demand required to
accommodate projected impacts and maintain the City's level of service (LOS) for such
facilities. If it is determined that sites and/or right-of-way is needed to accommodate the
projected impacts, then those sites shall be conveyed prior to the issuance of building permits
for development within the PUD.
Policy 2.6.4: Solid Waste Services
PUDs within the Wellness Way shall include an analysis of solid waste collection demand
required to accommodate projected impacts and maintain the City's level of service (LOS) for
such services.
Policy 2.6.5 Parks and Trails Facilities
PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of parks and trails required to
accommodate projected impacts and maintain the City's adopted level of service (LOS) for
such facilities. If it is determined that one or more publicly dedicated park sites within the
proposed PUD are needed to accommodate projected impacts, then conditions shall be
provided within the PUD approval to ensure that those sites are conveyed with the
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-33 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

development of the phase of the project. The Framework Map and Design Guidelines and
Standards shall be used as a guide to provide parks and trails facilities within the Wellness Way
area.
Trails within a proposed PUD that serve as a component of the multi -modal mobility system
shall be identified as part of the PUD process. Conditions for the conveyance of the right-of-
way required for such trails shall be established in the PUD approval.
Policy 2.6.6: Provision of Educational Facilities
All PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of impacts to public schools and,
when necessary, include mitigation conditions consistent with the policies and procedures
identified in the First Amended Interlocal Agreement between Lake County and Lake County
School Board and Municipalities for School Facilities Planning and Siting (the ILA). If it is
determined that one or more school sites within the proposed PUD are needed to
accommodate projected impacts, then those sites shall be consistent with the PSFE's School
Facility Siting objective and policies.
PUDs shall analyze the impacts of the future residential land uses on public schools and
identify the facilities needed. The City shall act in accordance with Objective 1.7 and associated
policies of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of this Comprehensive Plan when
coordinating with the Lake County School Board.
In addition to the PSFE's school facility siting objective and policies, the public school siting
provisions of Sections 333.03 and 1013.36, F.S., and the First Amended Interlocal Agreement
between Lake County and Lake County School Board and Municipalities for School Facilities
Planning and Siting (the ILA) shall be followed when identifying and dedicating public school
sites.
Future school sites shall be suitable for development as a public school and have the ability to
be served with the necessary infrastructure, such as the following: potable and non -potable
water, sanitary sewer, electrical power, high-speed internet service and transportation facilities.
When it is not possible to avoid soil conditions on a public school site that would require
remediation in order to permit vertical construction, such remediation will be included in the
applicant's capital improvements plan for mitigation of the impacts on public schools.
Policy 2.6.7: Provision of Law Enforcement, Fire Protection and Emergency Services
All PUDs within Wellness Way shall include an analysis of law enforcement, fire protection
and emergency medical services impacts and shall include coordination with Clermont Fire
Department and Clermont Police Department to determine if facility sites are required within
the PUD to ensure the provision of adequate public facilities and services. If it is determined
that land is needed to accommodate the siting of facilities required to address the impacts of
the proposed PUD, the provision of these lands shall become a condition of approval of the PUD
and be conveyed prior to the issuance of building permits for development within the PUD.
Given the current location of existing Fire/EMS facilities of the City to the north and Lake
County to the South, the City and Lake County should consider coordinating a joint City -
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-34 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FUTURE LAND USE
County Fire/EMS facility in the center of Wellness Way to provide the highest level of
response times at the least cost to the community.
Policy 2.6.8: Conveyed Land Value
In order to ensure that new development adequately pays for growth -related impacts, the
Clermont City Council shall have the authority to determine the valuation or date of valuation
of property for the purpose of impact fee credits for property deemed as a required adequate
public facility beyond the needs of Wellness Way. The value will be agreed upon by both the
City and the land owner or established by appraisals by registered appraisers acceptable to both
the City and land owner. The terms of this valuation shall be incorporated into a developer's
agreement for a specific development.
Any Developer that conveys land at no cost to the City or other public entity for any public
facility, may have the associated development program/entitlement from that conveyed land
transferred to the balance of their PUD for use in the over all project.
Policy 2.6.9: Coordinated Development
While there is separate property ownership within Wellness Way, planning for development
will occur in a coordinated and comprehensive way. The initial extension of potable and non -
potable water and sewer service must be sized for the PUD with a Utilities Agreement and built
infrastructure and conveyed lands are eligible for reimbursement for excess capacity and land
area beyond the need of the proposed development. The Future Land Use Map will establish
a general guide for connectivity. Primary Roadway alignments will be set with the PUD process
and/or a Roadway Agreement between participating property owners and built infrastructure
and conveyed lands are eligible for reimbursement for excess capacity and land area beyond the
need of the proposed development. Roadway terminus to terminus alignments are required.
Policy 2.6.10: Concurrency Requirements
The City shall ensure that public services and facilities are available concurrent with new
development. All development orders, permits, and agreements shall be subject to the adopted
Concurrency Management System consistent with Objective 1.2 in the Capital Improvement
Element of this Comprehensive Plan.
Objective 2.7: Intergovernmental Coordination
To ensure continued coordination of development plans, infrastructure planning and development
approvals, and impacts with affected local governments and public agencies throughout Wellness Way.
Policy 2.7.1 Coordinated Review of Planned Unit Developments
To provide for intergovernmental coordination, the City shall provide adjacent municipalities,
counties, and regional agencies a copy of applications for a Planned Unit Development
(PUD). To ensure communication and coordination are used to minimize any potential
adverse impacts, the following government agencies shall be notified:
A. Lake County
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-35 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
B. Lake County School Board
C. Florida Department of Transportation
Objective 2.8 Implementation
FUTURE LAND USE
To develop a straightforward, predictable and efficient process for the preparation, review and
approval of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and subsequent development approvals within
Wellness Way.
Policy 2.8.1: Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)
Development within Wellness Way shall be accomplished utilizing the adoption of Planned
Unit Developments (PUDs). Each PUD shall be developed in sufficient detail to allow
evaluation of the interrelationship of its parts and establish consistency with principles and
criteria contained within the City of Clermont Comprehensive Plan and the Wellness Way
Goal, Objectives and Policies.
Each PUD shall be evaluated to determine that adequate facilities and services are or will be
available at the time of development. Where facilities or services are determined to be deficient,
the developer(s) shall have the option of entering into a funding agreement with Lake County,
the City of Clermont and/or Lake County School Board to correct any deficiency and allow
development to proceed. All development in the PUD will be served by central sewer and
water service.
Policy 2.8.2: Framework and Hierarchy of Place
PUDs within Wellness Way should be organized around a conceptual framework and
hierarchy of place, as more particularly defined in the Design Guidelines and Standards. The
following represents the most important design principles required in each PUD:
A. PUDs must determine the location and size of the Centers based upon the regional
roadway network and the FLUC jobs -to -housing ratio and then locate the
Wellness/Green Corridors and residential neighborhoods.
B. Residential neighborhoods cluster around the Centers. Each neighborhood is adjacent
to an interconnected wellness Corridor/open space system. This helps define
neighborhoods and provides the opportunity for trail use for the residents to reach other
neighborhoods, Centers, other PUDs, and the State Park.
C. Along with the Centers neighborhoods and WC networks, there is a required community
park. Not only are the school and park a requirement, it is at the PUD level when
agreements must be reached to pay for educational facilities roads, utilities and the park.
Without such agreements, development may not proceed.
Policy 2.8.3: Water Consery II
Water Consery II is designated as the Water Consery II Future Land Use Category and is
comprised of properties owned and used by Orange County and the City of Orlando for a water
reclamation project. Portions of this property may be deemed unnecessary for either existing or
future needs of the project. Therefore, the City (as applicable) may request that such properties
be included in PUDs.
Ordinance No. 2023-001 I-36 Amended February 28, 2023
CITY OF CLERMONT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Objective 2.9: Financing
FUTURE LAND USE
To develop financing mechanisms that support the economic development goals of Wellness Way
while ensuring the equitable distribution of infrastructure costs.
Policy 2.9.1: Funding Mechanisms for Regional Infrastructure
Each PUD shall identify the revenue sources implementable by county or City ordinance (or
by resolution of a dependent district created by City ordinance) to provide essential regional
infrastructure including transportation, public safety and park improvements required to
implement the economic development uses incorporated in the PUD. A density bonus of two
(2) dwelling units per acre may be granted to a PUD for right-of-way donated for arterial or
collector roads.
Given the unique nature of the existing land ownership patterns, much of the Wellness Way
Roadway Network will require acquisition of road right-of-way from CONSERV. Any
funding provided by a landowner/developer to the County for acquisition of road right-of-
way, including ponds, easements, and trails, may also be eligible for a density bonus of two (2)
dwelling units per acre in addition to transportation impact fee credits.
Policy 2.9.2: Funding Mechanisms for Site Specific Infrastructure
Within each PUD, the transportation related infrastructure and other infrastructure necessary
to accommodate the economic goals of specific sites or individual development shall be
incorporated as a cost requirement of site development either directly or provided as a funding
component by any dependent or independent district created to provide on -site or regional
infrastructure.
Policy 2.9.3: Phasing of Regional Infrastructure
The City will rely upon Lake County to enter into Roadway Agreements with all PUDs to
ensure that regional infrastructure shall be phased as necessary to support economic
development of specific sites or individual developments within each PUD and as required to
meet economic expectations of the property bearing the burden of the infrastructure costs.
