The City Commission hereby finds and determines that conditions of blight contribute to the deterioration of areas and neighborhoods within the City. Such conditions of blight cause, create or constitute a nuisance, and are harmful to the health, well-being and welfare of City residents and the general public. Specifically, the failure to keep real property free from blight conditions in the City:
(A) Creates a nuisance in that litter and other materials scatter into yards of neighbors.
(B) Affects property appearances and thus, decreases the value of adjoining properties.
(C) Creates an environment to which rodents and other undesirable pests are attracted.
(D) Creates a danger of crime where substandard building conditions or facilities may give rise to an assumption that premises are unoccupied.
(E) Affects the public welfare by reflecting negatively on the City and its citizens.
