Motivated by families of formal moduli problems, in this note we generalize the notion of L-infinity space by allowing sheaves of L-infinity algebras over any (reasonable) nilpotent dg manifold. We discuss various examples including those coming from Lie algebroids. Given a Lie algebroid, we show that there is an L-infinity space parametrized by (cochains of) the Lie algebroid; further, characteristic classes of this L-infinity space recover the primary invariants of the original algebroid.
