At the Design Review Board meeting on Monday evening, the proposal for Weber Thompson’s “Ballard West” building received conditional approval.

The six-story mixed use, retail-residential building will replace the old library site on 24th Ave N.W.

Monday's meeting was originally scheduled for Nov. 22 but was postponed due to the snowfall.

The proposed building will contain 9,572 sq. ft. of ground level retail space, three live-work units with 107 residential units, below grade parking for 80 vehicles to be provided. The proposal also contains several sustainability goals including a green roof and an ambition to meet LEED Platinum requirements.

At earlier meetings, neighbors expressed concern about the size of the building, the development blocking their light, and enduring more construction.

The board liked the proposal yet asked that architects make some minor changes. These changes will be approved by DPD directly.
