Monday evening is the Early Design Guidance meeting for the proposed development at the Old Ballard Library branch location at 5711 24th Ave NW.

The plans call to demolish the current structure and build a seven-story apartment/commercial building. According to the design proposal (.pdf) created by Weber Thompson, the building will have one-and-a-half to two floors of parking below grade. Street level will have 10,000 square feet for commercial use along with three live-work spaces and seven apartments. Floors two through six will be 100 studio, open one-bedroom and some true one- and two-bedroom units. The top floor will be a roof deck and garden.
This evening’s meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Ballard High School library. It is open to the public.
