If you haven’t heard, Costco Wholesale will be coming to Clermont. The wholesale warehouse will be located on a 20-acre site located on State 50 north of Magnolia Pointe.

On Tuesday, June 1, COSTCO requested approval of an internal tire store as a service to its club members in the proposed Costco building at a meeting of the Clermont Planning and Zoning (P&Z).

The tire service is an ancillary use to the primary use of retail sales of the club. The five service bays for this use are located on the eastern side of the proposed building. The location of the service bays within the building is almost centered on the 20-acre parcel and does not face any public right-of-way, such as SR 50 or Old Highway 50. The nearest single-family residence is over 1,000 feet away. The two existing automotive dealerships to the west within Plaza Collina also provide this type of automotive service. Clermont staff recommended and P&Z approved the request which will be brought before Clermont City Council for final approval.

 


 

Hwy 27 The site of the future Sonic Drive-In is now a vacant parcel, located on the southeast corner of US Highway 27 and Citrus Tower Blvd. Sonic Drive-In provides a unique dining experience that allows patrons to park in designated areas and order from the outdoor menu boards, with food delivery services to their vehicles.
