Council approves request for four in‑lieu parking spaces at Park Avenue Apartments
Summary
Council approved a developer request to pay an in‑lieu fee for four parking spaces at Park Avenue Apartments and noted the town will update its 2002 parking fee (currently $1,200 per space) after a new study; staff said in‑lieu funds are held in a separate account for future parking infrastructure.
The Leonardtown Council approved a developer request to satisfy required parking by paying an in‑lieu fee for four spaces at the Park Avenue Apartments project. Staff explained the building has two on‑site spaces per unit and is seeking payment for four additional spaces rather than adding new on‑site spots.
"So if you would be paying $4,800," staff said, describing the current 2002 fee of $1,200 per space and adding that the town has commissioned an updated study that could raise that rate. Council members discussed reserved resident placards and the planning commission's suggestion to provide some dedicated, brick‑paved spaces; others opposed reserved spaces and recommended relying on available public parking instead. Staff said in‑lieu funds are kept in a separate account for a potential future parking garage or other infrastructure.
