Rockville is considering a standard way to ensure new development helps meet growing demand for parks and recreation facilities. One option under review would require qualifying projects of at least 5 acres to dedicate 10% of the project area to parkland, with a possible credit against an impact fee. Further review, public hearings, and a final decision by the Mayor and Council would be required.
