Cadence as Code Force: When repeated applications make the procedural surface itself the policy question

Application volume in a single use class can force a code revision that the city was not previously moving on. Clermont's Planning and Zoning Commission processed three food-truck Conditional Use Permits in a five-month window — Crab Cakes at the NE corner of Lake Avenue and West Highway 50 in January 2026, Wahlburgers at the Home Depot parking lot at 1530 East Highway 50 in April 2026 (approved 7-0), and Mayamero at the Sunoco/Texaco at 477 East Highway 50 on the May 5 agenda. At the Wahlburgers hearing on April 7, 2026, staff disclosed on the record that City Council has directed staff to draft an ordinance making food trucks a permitted (not CUP-required) use in C-2 General Commercial with approved standards. The cadence forced the disclosure; the disclosure forced the calendar. Highway 50 is becoming Clermont's mobile-commerce spine through repeated CUP applications, and the volume itself is the regulatory feedback loop.
