Zárate clarified that although the plenary session agreed the complete demolition of the establishment, "we have seen a number of shortcomings in the cemetery, like a warehouse and small toilets." Hence the technicians have proposed to keep 30% of the current building and convert it into a warehouse and toilets in a garden area and that serves to access to the churchyard. This garden incorporated into the cemetery may be open or closed at night depending on the needs. The councilman indicated that the City Council expects the company owning the property finance these works taking advantage of the cost of savings for not having to demolish the whole building.
