The space between Clef and first-note is documented in the Internals References manual,

IR 3.1.26 Clef

You can modify the space-alist property for the first-note item. Either by changing the spacing-style to a stretchable (or semi-fixed) space or by reducing the value of minimum-fixed-space.

Thanks for pointing that out. It worked perfectly. Here's what I finally had:

      \score {
        \new Staff { c''2 r }
        \layout {
          ragged-right = ##t
          indent = 0\cm
          line-width = 1.5\cm
          \context {
            \Staff
            \omit TimeSignature
            \override Clef.space-alist.first-note = #'(minimum-fixed-space . 3.0)
          }
          #(layout-set-staff-size 14)

        }
