Uptown Parking In-Lieu Fee Program

Uptown Parking In-Lieu Fee program. The Parking In-Lieu Fee offers an option to pay a fee “in-lieu” of providing a portion of the number of on-site parking spaces required by the Land Development Code. The City would then be responsible for providing central or common parking facilities. The in-lieu fee is $35,000 per parking space and is a strictly voluntary assessment.

Within the boundaries of the Uptown Sedona Business District, up to 100 percent of the parking requirements generated by new development or additions for all uses except lodging may be satisfied by the payment of in-lieu fees. For lodging uses, up to 10% of the parking requirement generated by new development or additions may be satisfied by the payment of in-lieu fees.
