1. In order to prevent undue congestion in and interference with the traffic-carrying capacity of city streets, off-street parking and loading shall be provided for all land uses.
   1. The number of parking stalls required for each individual use is prescribed by Section 17.64.060, but for planned unit developments; the number may be varied as provided by Section 17.72.070.
   2. For the purposes of this title, for all parking space requirements resulting in a fraction, the fraction shall be rounded to the next higher whole number.

The applicant shall submit with his or her application for building permit, for the principal use: (1) a legal description of all parcels used to meet off-street parking requirements; (2) a certificate of title or proof of ownership for these parcels; (3) an attested copy of the leasing agreement if such parcels are not owned by the person(s) requiring parking; and (4) a parking plan depicting the layout of the parking spaces on the site(s). The applicant shall also agree, in writing, that he or she, or their successors or assigns, shall notify the zoning department if the required off-street parking spaces cannot be provided on these parcels or their equivalent, so long as the principal use shall continue and shall agree that the principal use shall be discontinued, should the required off-street parking no longer be provided on these parcels or their equivalent. Violations of this provision shall constitute an unauthorized illegal occupancy of the principal use.
