Stacked parking
Mechanical parking that stores vehicles above one another.
Stacked parking uses a lift or a puzzle system to store vehicles on two or more levels within the height of one. It buys bay count in a footprint that cannot be widened, which is why it appears in dense urban buildings.
For whoever runs the building it adds two things an ordinary bay does not have: a retrieval time, and a maintenance contract whose failure takes several residents’ cars out of service at once. Both belong in the parking rules rather than being discovered on the morning the lift stops.
