One of the problems with codes that are not germane to the specific task. It never works out the way that is intended.Today, most buildings can't get a permit to build without a parking plan. And new garages or parking lots can't get approved without EV charging stations.
So they just are being built with the least expensive possible compliance.
Just like most new buildings have to have some sort of solar powered green lighting and Leeds certifications to get approved. Electricity is limited by the square footage which also limits air handling. Bathroom sizes and occupancy capacity are mandated too.
All of these limiting factors get done to meet codes...not functionality beyond 12 months.
These were not done to meet code though - you can tell they were not part of the original construction. The building and business was not new.
I think this was just a case of thinking that they would be a good investment and then finding out they were simply not.
