AI summary

This lapsed bill would have defined an automated parking garage as a structure using mechanical or other automated systems to park or retrieve more than three vehicles. It proposed requiring a license from the Department of Licenses and Inspections and denying licenses for such garages within 300 feet of residentially zoned property or if they did not meet applicable public-garage rules.
