The, resulting inadequate conditions include such fac ors as insufficient 4t provision for light and air, increased threat of fire due to c lose proximity to nearby buildings, lack of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack s of required off-street parking, and inadequate provision for 1 ading or service. pExcessive land coverage is presumed to have an adverse or blighting effect on nearby development.
