What were the most significant items on the Clermont Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for May 2026?

· **Three food-truck CUPs in three consecutive months — Highway 50 is becoming Clermont's mobile-commerce spine.** Crab Cakes (W. Hwy 50 / Lake Ave., January), Wahlburgers at Home Depot (1530 E. Hwy 50, April), now Mayamero at the Sunoco/Texaco at 477 E. Hwy 50 (May). Plus the existing 3-truck operation at 300 E. Hwy 50 the staff report cites as benchmark. The pattern is clear: underutilized C-2 frontage on Highway 50 is being activated through low-capital food trucks rather than conventional buildouts. With City Council having directed staff to draft an ordinance making food trucks a permitted (not CUP-required) C-2 use, this may be one of the last food-truck CUPs the commission processes. · **Late-night hours (4 PM – 10 PM) signal a different demand profile than daytime retail-pad operators.** Wahlburgers ran 8 AM – 8 PM, aligned with Home Depot. Mayamero's 4 PM – 10 PM evening-and-late window — at a fuel station — fits a dinner-and-after-hours clientele rather than home-improvement foot traffic. The Venezuelan-cuisine framing layers in a cultural-diversity argument the commission has not yet been asked to weigh on a CUP. Watch how staff handles overnight on-site storage of the truck — that's a new wrinkle the Wahlburgers application did not raise. · **Light agenda — single new-business item — suggests a brief meeting under acting chair leadership.** With Entsuah pre-elected as acting chair, this is a low-controversy meeting in form. The substantive watch is whether the food-truck text amendment surfaces under "Discussion of Non-Agenda Items" or as a future agenda preview.

Agenda Items

Item 1: Resolution No. 2026-011R — Mayamero Food Truck CUP

Type: CUP
Case Number: Resolution No. 2026-011R
Location: 477 E. Hwy 50 (Sunoco/Texaco parking lot, east side adjacent to the convenience store)
Applicant: Rommel Rodulfo (Mayamero)
Request: Conditional Use Permit to operate a single mobile food dispensing vehicle (food truck) offering authentic Venezuelan cuisine. Hours of operation: 7 days a week, 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM. The food truck is proposed to remain on property overnight, with a separate commissary handling waste drop-off. Written authorization from the property owner is provided. Food trucks are not a permitted use in the C-2 General Commercial district per LDC 125-313 and require a CUP.
Current Zoning: C-2 General Commercial
Staff Recommendation: Approve
Action: Pending (agenda only)
Vote: Pending (agenda only)
Notable Context: Staff report observes that an existing food-truck operation roughly 800 feet to the west (at 300 E. Hwy 50) has run since mid-2024 with no documented Code Enforcement complaints, and that the Mayamero proposal is similar in nature and scale.

Public Hearings Summary

Key Signals

Three food-truck CUPs in three consecutive months — Highway 50 is becoming Clermont's mobile-commerce spine. Crab Cakes (W. Hwy 50 / Lake Ave., January), Wahlburgers at Home Depot (1530 E. Hwy 50, April), now Mayamero at the Sunoco/Texaco at 477 E. Hwy 50 (May). Plus the existing 3-truck operation at 300 E. Hwy 50 the staff report cites as benchmark. The pattern is clear: underutilized C-2 frontage on Highway 50 is being activated through low-capital food trucks rather than conventional buildouts. With City Council having directed staff to draft an ordinance making food trucks a permitted (not CUP-required) C-2 use, this may be one of the last food-truck CUPs the commission processes.
Late-night hours (4 PM – 10 PM) signal a different demand profile than daytime retail-pad operators. Wahlburgers ran 8 AM – 8 PM, aligned with Home Depot. Mayamero's 4 PM – 10 PM evening-and-late window — at a fuel station — fits a dinner-and-after-hours clientele rather than home-improvement foot traffic. The Venezuelan-cuisine framing layers in a cultural-diversity argument the commission has not yet been asked to weigh on a CUP. Watch how staff handles overnight on-site storage of the truck — that's a new wrinkle the Wahlburgers application did not raise.
Light agenda — single new-business item — suggests a brief meeting under acting chair leadership. With Entsuah pre-elected as acting chair, this is a low-controversy meeting in form. The substantive watch is whether the food-truck text amendment surfaces under "Discussion of Non-Agenda Items" or as a future agenda preview.
