expansion of an existin~ use or new construction~ developers o__f land
within the H-1 Historic District may provide ~ portion or all of
such parking by means of a payment to the town's parking fund. Such
payments shall be based on a one-time fee per parking space~
established from time to time by resolution of the Town Council. Any
off-street parking satisfied in this manner shall run with the la~d;
and any subsequent chan~e in use that requires more off-street parking

parking fund and shall be used and expended exclusively for the pur-
pose of planning, designing, acquiring and developin~ off-street
