Council introduces four ordinances including new solid-waste impact fee
Summary
The City of Clermont council introduced ordinances on annexation, a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, and a new solid-waste impact fee; council asked staff for fee forecasts and rationale for residential vs. commercial rates ahead of second reading.
The City of Clermont City Council introduced four ordinances on April 14, 2026: an annexation ordinance (Ordinance 2026-015), a small-scale comprehensive-plan amendment under Chapter 163, Part 2, Florida Statutes (Ordinance 2026-016), a zoning-map amendment (Ordinance 2026-017), and a new solid-waste impact fee article to be added to Chapter 30 of the city code (Ordinance 2026-018). Each introduction passed on a 4–0 voice vote.
Council members asked staff to include more detailed information for the second reading on the solid-waste impact fee, specifically: an explanation for why residential fees exceed commercial rates in the consultant’s model and an annual revenue forecast. Staff said the consultant will attend the second reading to present details and respond to those questions.
For the annexation and zoning items, the council followed standard procedure: public comment was offered at introduction but no speakers came forward. The small-scale comprehensive-plan amendment was introduced citing the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act (Chapter 163, Part 2, Florida Statutes) as the authority for the change.
Council members indicated that more detailed materials, including consultant slides and forecasts for the solid-waste fee, will be provided in advance of second readings so the council and public can review the technical basis and revenue projections.
