1. First, compute the total number of spaces when all floors are open by adding the spaces on each floor:
   $$
   240 + 285 + 250 + 267 = 1042.
   $$

2. When one floor is closed, the garage has spaces for the floors with 240, 250, and 267 cars:
   $$
   240 + 250 + 267 = 757.
   $$

3. The number of spaces on the closed floor is the difference between the total number of spaces and the spaces available when one floor is closed:
   $$
   1042 - 757 = 285.
   $$

4. Therefore, the closed floor has $$285$$ spaces.
The closed floor has 285 parking spaces.
