Proposal to add a zone for residential zoned parking: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Residential_Zoned_Parking

Residential zoned parking is a local government practice of designating 
certain on-street automobile parking spaces for the exclusive use of 
nearby residents. It is a tool for addressing overspill parking from 
neighboring population centers (such as a shopping center, office 
building, apartment building, transit station, stadium, or central 
business district). Typically, residents in the zone pay a small fee to 
the government in exchange for a placard or sticker placed on their 
automobile(s) that indicates the zone designation (signified by a number 
or letter).

(...) It has been put into common practice throughout the United States, 
and has even been used in non-residential areas when a local street's 
parking is reserved for a business, museum or other facility.

Rationale:

This tag improves maps for car drivers by guiding to a parking. It is 
especially helpful when visiting a foreign city and not being familiar 
with the boundaries (usually residents can issue a visitor pass that 
allows visitors to park their car in a dedicated zone).
