  },
  "areaServed": "Zona Centro",

}

Two different parking groups are needed in this case:

A/ Subrogated ParkingGroup which gives details about the regular parking spots

{
  "id": "daoiz-velarde-1-5-main",
  "type": "ParkingGroup",
  "category": ["onstreet", "blueZone", "shortTerm"],
  "allowedVehicleType": "car",
  "chargeType": ["temporaryFee"],
  "refParkingSite": "daoiz-velarde-1-5",
  "totalSpotNumber": 4,
  "availableSpotNumber": 1,
  "requiredPermit": "blueZonePermit"
  /* Other required attributes */
}

B/ Subrogated ParkingGroup. refPArkingSite is a pointer to the root entity. All the parking spots are free.

{
  "id": "daoiz-velarde-1-5-disabled",
  "type": "ParkingGroup",
  "category": ["onstreet", "blueZone", "shortTerm", "onlyDisabled"],
  "allowedVehicleType": "car",
