This facility is an open-air surface lot designed for high-turnover accessibility. Due to its surface-level nature, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and passenger vehicles with roof racks that would otherwise struggle in traditional parking garages.
