Such regulation is necessary to provide for the adequate <br />maintenance of common areas, facilities and amenities, such as buildings, <br />ingress and egress, subjacent support, utilities and the like, in commercial and <br />industrial common area interest development projects in order to support the <br />continuing viability of such common interest projects, avoid conditions of neglect, <br />to protect the public from the potential blighting effects of deteriorated or <br />undercapitalized commercial and industrial conversion projects and provide <br />adequate off-street parking. Additionally, such regulation is necessary to the <br />support of a healthy local economy by preserving opportunities for large-scale <br />commercial and industrial uses to avoid the conversion, fragmentation and <br />diminution of large commercial and industrial buildings and lands within the city. <br />Sec. 41-1801.
