For
THE LIBRARY (04 -216)
All proposals involving site development or redevelopment in the Northgate District shall
require a review by the Design Review Board (DRB).
Zoning District: NG -1 Core Northgate
Location: 329 University Drive W.
Applicant: Sean Mitchell - Mitchell Construction
Item Summary: The applicant is proposing to add a front entrance door in place of an
existing window. The building currently has one entrance door, one exit door, and two
windows that protrude outward from the building. The proposed door will be flush with
the face of the building and is proposed to have windows surrounding it to imitate the
adjacent window. All materials will be the same as on the existing doors and windows.
The existing canopy over the window will remain.
All colors will remain the same and there are no plans to repaint or repair any other
features on the exterior of the building.
Because the proposed door will no longer protrude off of the face of the building, the
applicant will need to extend the existing sidewalk to the new facade in that area.
Item Background: The Library is located on University Drive between Loupot's and the
Texas Aggie Bookstore. The building was established in 1948 and is considered low
priority according to the Northgate Historic Survey.
