In a commercial lease:
- La moitié du parking cimenté pour camions se situant devant les magasins , étant entendu que l’autre partie cimentée du parking pourra également être utilisée par le preneur en fonction des disponibilités de place
I am wondering about "cimenté" - is this just a parking garage? Because I have never heard of a "cemented parking lot", at least not here in the States. Or is it just a "parking lot"? Or either/or...?

Is certainly one way to refer to a parking area that is in some way metalled (concrete, tarmac or other)
Otherwise, what's wrong with just 'concreted parking area' --- it's just that in English we say 'concrete' where French says 'cement'.
You didn't mention if you wanted UK or US English, but bear in mind that car park is more BE and parking lot more AE.

: Paved parking is not specific enough. Better to different this from any other material such as asphalt. Concrete paved parking is correct.

: 'blacktop' suggested tarmac (= goudronné) to me, but I think this is concrete instead.

"parking cimenté" is not a technical term even in French.
