No additional parking is proposed in the park. In fact, one of the existing parking spaces is planned for removal to accommodate the pergola entrance. Due to deteriorating conditions, the existing structure, that has been used for community meeting space and maintenance operations, has been closed and is planned for demolition in the summer of 1997. Plans are to replace it in the future when funding becomes available with a similar I-story community building in the same location. The existing structure is approximately 4,000 square feet in area, including the attached garage. The future community building is expected to be approximately 3,000 square feet in area, and will require no more parking than the 59 spaces existing on site at this time. The structure will use natural materials and colors to be compatible with the surrounding residential character. The maintenance operations will be housed in a small, 792 square foot building in the southwest corner of the site. The structure will have metal siding and roofmg, and future plans may include covered bay extensions on either end of the building. It will be located in an existing graveled area that is already fenced off from the rest of the site and has been used for maintenance storage. Evergreen vegetation will be planted along the southern border to provide screening for the residential uses to the south. The proposed fountain, pool, gazebo, pergola, sculpture locations, trellis extensions, rose bed and walk additions, and additional plantings are normal park amenities that will enhance the appearance of the park. The rose garden is bordered by the Washington - Jefferson street bridge ~n the east, the Willamette River on the north, School District 4-J's administrative and maintenance facility on the west, and residential dwellings to the south. In addition to the proposed screening to be added on the south side of the site, additional screening with roses on a trellis structure is proposed for the western property .line. Given all of the above, it can be said that the site plan revisions will result in insignificant changes in the outward appearance of the development and impact on the surrounding properties. Section 9.722(2)(a)3: The site will remain consistent with applicable permit criteria. The hearings official's fmdings approving cu 84-23 cited the following criteria in Italic font from the Eugene Code that are pertinent to the Willamette River Greenway: Section 9.260(2)(a}: The intensification, change in use, and development will provide for maximum possible landscaped area, open space, and vegetation between the activity and the river.
