creating flexibility in the Villages code relating to on -site parking requirements, potentially reducing
or eliminating required parking.

Staff spoke in support this proposal. The Board does not think this is a good idea for many reasons.
Manual Marque to consider instead of proposed per the Board.

this subject.
Staff will draft the changes in the Code and bring back to the Board.
