QUESTION: Since each of the "reserved / only" means that only specific types of users can park there, is each of the categories above considered a unique type of "facility" in 208.2?...

Do I also need a van space for guests, another van space for leasing office business, a van space for management staff, and a van space for maintenance staff?
If I don't provide these, but only provide non-reserved ADA spaces for use by everyone, am I discriminating against (for example) a leasing office employee who drives an accessible van because they now have to fight for parking with all other user types, whereas the able-bodied employee gets to use spaces reserved for employees?
