Its actually part of the same taxlot - its where the loading bay for the building is. You can see it here:

If I recall, the parking lot is roughly 50' x 80'
Anyway, the YWCA has good bones - it was recently renovated by GBD, and they did a fairly good job with circulation and everything. The building has a 2-level basement, with a swimming pool (!). There is also a full court basketball gymnasium, a commercial kitchen on the ground floor, and that nice plaza with the big tree.
The only odd thing about the building is the circulation - they are a bit awkward, having 2+ circulation cores. Since the building has good bones and is already updated, I would be surprised if it were knocked down - although a change of use could force a costly seismic and code renovations.
