<br />- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />PROJECT TITLE <br /> <br />Delhi Park Community Center <br /> <br />EXISTING SETTING <br /> <br />The proposed project site consists of the 2.92-acre existing <br />Delhi Park and the 7.5-acre site of the former City Yard <br />facility. The project site is located in the northeastern <br />portion of the City. As shown on Exhibit 1, the project site is <br />generally bounded, by a National Guard Armory to the west, <br />Monroe Elementary School to the southwest, Lady of Guadalupe <br />Church to the southeast and single family residential uses to <br />the north, south and east. Presently, the City's General Plan <br />designates the project site uOpen Space". <br /> <br />Presently, Delhi Park is an improved park site with a baseball <br />field, handball courts, basketball courts and play equipment. <br />Project area residents utilize Delhi Park quite extensively and <br />there is need to expand recreational opportunities within the <br />Delhi Park area. The former City Yard site is located <br />immediately west of Delhi Park. The site is currently vacant <br />and void of any structures. However, some debris does remain on <br />the site. An existing fence is located along the perimeter of <br />the City Yard site to prevent the public from entering the site. <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The ultimate build out of Delhi Park would integrate the <br />existing City Yard site into the existing Delhi Park site. The <br />proposed park facility would be referred to as the Delhi Park <br />Community Center. The proposed entrances to the Delhi Park <br />Community Center would be from Halladay Street and Central <br />Avenue. A combination of landscape turf and shrubs would be <br />provided along the proposed entrances to soften views of the <br />parking areas. <br /> <br />The proposed Delhi Park Community Center would consist of <br />approximately 10.5 -acres of passive and active recreational <br />uses and cultural facilities. At this time, a concept plan for <br />the project has been prepared to establish a development <br />envelope for environmental documentation purposes. The specific <br />location of improvements and facilities would be determined <br />prior to final design of the project. Presently, the concept <br />plan includes a 26,500 square foot recreational/community center <br />building that would provide a variety of multi-purpose <br />activities. Additionally, a new soccer field would be provided <br /> <br />Page 81 <br /> <br />25.H. <br />
