MORANDUM
City of Clermont
Development Services Department
TO: JPA Unincorporated Property Owner/Developer
FROM: James K. Hitt, CRA & Mobility Director
DATE: August 12, 2016
RE: Utility Service Agreement ~ Application
*******************************************************
Properties proposed for development of any kind that are within the Joint Planning Area
(JPA), and adjacent to the corporate City limits of Clermont should consider annexation
as a first step for reviews.
Property owners/developers with developments being reviewed by Lake County should
be aware that they shall be subject to a completely separate review and permitting
process by the City upon annexation, in order to receive water and/or sewer utility
services, and be able to proceed with the development. Any reviews or approvals
completed by Lake County prior to any City utility approvals, shall be non-binding upon
annexation. Annexation, review and approvals by the City are required.
In order to avoid two separate reviews (one by the County, and then one by the City), we
highly recommend annexing first. Rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment may
occur at the same time, as required by the City and Florida Statutes. Applications are
available at the City's web site: www.cityofclermontfl.com under the Development
Services Department section, Applications & Forms.
Properties that are not adjacent to the City limits, may request utility services by
completing the Utility Services Agreement Application. Reviews at the County are
subject to City reviews in accordance with JPA standards. Further conditions may be
made part of the Utility Agreement. Utility Agreements are approved by the Clermont City
Council.
If you have any questions regarding this review process or the applications needed,
please call the Development Services Department at (352) 241-7305.
