blank lines around \item have no effect.
A blank line before the list does mark a paragraph end
(so typically affects the indentation of the following text, as well
as vertical space.)

As you see in the following you get vertical space increased even if
you hav eno blank lines:

\documentclass{article}

\setlength\parskip{3cm}

\begin{document}


The paragraph ends here but we continue with
the enumeration without an empty space.
\begin{enumerate}
\item something
\item anything
\end{enumerate}
This is a continuation of the \emph{same}
paragraph starts here without an empty line.

\end{document}
