  Downtown Clermont's West End Plaza expansion cleared planning and zoning, 4-1

  Clermont's Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-1 on August 4 to advance the West End Plaza expansion at West Minneola Avenue and 8th Street: four three-story buildings with 16 one-bedroom rentals over more than 5,600 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space, next to the existing 7,400-square-foot plaza building, which stays. The project heads to City Council next — it is not yet approved.

  Clermont parking garage committee brings a recommendation Sept. 22

  A special city committee has begun weighing two downtown sites for a parking garage: one behind City Hall, the other near Mineola Avenue and Seventh Street, where surface parking already exists. Clermont's most recent parking study, from 2024, counted roughly 1,100 downtown spaces, which fill during First Friday and other events. An architect will work up designs, and the committee is set to present its recommendation to city leaders on Sept. 22; no size or space count has been decided.
