No formal action taken. 3 Discussion/Action on an Amendment to Sec. 133-995 of the Zoning Code Regarding Parking Requirements for Certain Residential and Non-Residential Uses (Item for Recommendation to the Village Board) This is a continuation of the ongoing discussion of parking standards from the 7/10 meeting. Suggested text is included that addresses changes to standards for industrial/warehousing uses along with more specificity to the parameters regarding parking exceptions. Commissioners asked staff to provide more information and examples of a sliding scale for industrial uses. No action taken. Item to come back for further review before a recommendation to the Village Board. WAUNAKEE/WESTPORT JOINT PLAN COMMISSION UPDATE No meeting for November.
