The proposed two-story, 9,000-square-foot development to replace the current Washington Federal Savings building at 2020 N.W. Market St. will go before the Northwest Design Review Board April 12.

At the meeting, community members will be able to offer comments regarding the proposed design.

At an Oct. 12 early design guidance meeting for the project, the review board said it wanted to see a simpler design than the one proposed.

The board said it wanted the design to fit in on Market Street and show proper deference to the neighboring Carnegie's building.

The board named the Majestic Bay Theater and La Tienda as examples of the kind of design it would like to see.

The plan, as presented at the Oct. 12 meeting, is for the development to be 40 feet tall instead of the maximum 65 feet and to include parking and drive-up tellers in the lot behind the building on Northwest 56th Street.

The design review meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. on April 12 at Ballard High School, located at 1418 N.W. 65th St.
