sized/size
The typical translation for this term is size or frame. In the context of this sentence however, I would recommend sized.
There's an example of this terminology being used on page 9 of this City of Montreal document.

It may not indicate total size, but it does limit height to approximately 30 feet or 10 meters, which will effectively limit the total volume of the building.

template
Gabarit as it is used in Civil Engineering is a template or outline of a building. In this context, insertion of a construction of template or building in two floors with the same area of parking is (Piazza Romana (actually a vacant land).
Peer comment(s):
disagree |
B D Finch
: The word "template" is simply not used that way. This is just about the building height and nothing indicates it is to be a car park.

vehicle height clearance bar (or variations thereof)
Often referred to as "portique" in French too, even "limitateur". "Gabarait" used to describe size but also things which limit access according to size.

Les portiques de gabarit ou les limiteurs de hauteur sont des équipements pour la gestion d’accès. Ils sont surtout utilisés pour limiter et protéger le trafic de véhicules de gros gabarits (camping-cars, caravanes, remorque, utilitaires...) sur une route privée ou non, l’entrée d’un parking, etc. Le filtrage du flux de voiture de gros porteurs se fait essentiellement sur la hauteur du véhicule et non sur son poids. La hauteur du portique peut être fixe ou réglable ce qui rend le passage de certains véhicules de gros gabarits impossible sauf si le conducteur à la clef ou l'autorisation de circuler sur cette route.

Suspended height restriction bar with hanger assemblies and chains
Eliminate damage to vehicles and property caused by oversize vehicles entering areas of restricted height by installing suspended Height Bars. Our Height Bars are available in five standard lengths: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 metres and come with suspension chain and hanger assemblies. Powder coated safety yellow with reflective diagonal stripes, they carry the text “LOW CLEARANCE” with the specified height in black letters on a white background.
Use height bars at locations where vehicles first enter an undercover area or encounter an overhead obstruction, where the clearance in either case is: (i) 3 metres or less if only cars or light vans are likely to use the facility or (ii) 4.6 metres or less in all other areas.

B D Finch
: There is nothing in the ST to indicate that this is a height restrictor bar. On the contrary, this seems to be a vacant site, currently used as a car park, where a two-storey building is to be constructed.
