The project site is an approximately 1,500 square -foot commercial property developed with the Second Bank of Campbell Building, a designated Structure of Merit constructed circa 1911 in an Italian Renaissance Revival style. 5. On July 25, 2017, the Planning Commission approved a Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76) to allow a minor addition, fagade restoration and seismic retrofit of the Second Bank of Campbell Building; and a Modification (PLN2016-99) to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (PLN2007-183) to modify the interior configuration of an existing restaurant with approved general alcohol sales and late -night operational hours. 6. On December 20, 2017, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved construction plans submitted for a building permit pursuant to the Planning Commission's Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76) approval. 7. On April 2, 2018, the Building Division issued Building Permit No. BLD2017-1353 for the approved minor addition, fagade restoration and seismic retrofit. 8.
