(2)  Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable reuse or capacity of buildings or areas. This condition can be caused by a substandard design; buildings that are too large or too small given present standards and market conditions; and age, obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, or other physical conditions that could prevent the highest and best uses of the property. This condition can also be caused by buildings that will have to be demolished or buildings or areas that have a lack of parking.

(3)  Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and that prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the project area.

(4)  Buildings on land that, when subdivided or when infrastructure is installed, will not comply with normal subdivision, zoning, or planning regulations.
