GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY
A. General Plan Designation: The site is designated for Commercial
Land Uses in the City's General Plan. The existing office use is
consistent with this commercial designation.
B.
Zoning Designation: The site is zoned for C-3-S (Central Business
District). The existing use would require approval of a Conditional
Use Permit under the current zoning in that retail uses are
encouraged along this portion of East Campbell Avenue. The office
use of this building, however, was established prior to enactment of
the current zoning for the downtown area and is consequently a legal
non-conforming use.
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE
The building, constructed in 1895, was Campbell's first bank which was
incorporated in 1896, founded by Campbell's leading citizens, including
