Vehicle length under ~180 inches = -25%
Vehicle over ~210 inches = +25%
2nd permit = double
For the very few neighbourhoods that don't have laneways at all, then the a lower base rate could apply, or maybe just no penalty for 2nd vehicle.

This would work well, imo. People are really price sensitive- we have a condo in a 33 unit building in the inner city, but no parking placards on our street. The underground parkade has one stall for every unit plus 4 extra, which are $25/month and aren't full. The people with 2 vehicles mostly choose free street parking for the second, even though its often full and requires walking a couple of blocks.
