The Design Review Committee unanimously approved design modifications to 2549 Huntington Drive, One West Bank’s future location, at its June 1 meeting.
Currently doing business at 900 Huntington Drive, One West Bank will be moving to the new facility located at the corner of Winston Avenue and Huntington Drive, right across the street from Tony’s Pizza.
The bank will have what is known as a blade sign, which will protrude from the front of the building, adorned with the bank’s logo.
The storefront will also have an ATM with a fiberglass surround and lighting. A representative for One West said the designs will not impact any of the landscaping on the sidewalk.
The Design Review Committee also unanimously continued the case of 2828 Fleur Drive. Located at the corner of Fleur Drive and Ramiro Road, the applicants proposed changing the roof pitch of the one-story portion of this two-story home from a vaulted roof to a flat design.
“The roof, you understand, is a no go,” Chairman Bharat Patel told the applicant’s designers, Jesse Emmert and Matt Mori of Hartman Baldwin, at the DRC’s latest meeting. “We will not accept a flat roof.”
Emmert and Mori were responsive to the committee’s suggestion. They said they will work with city staff and neighbors to make the design changes so the project will be compatible with the neighborhood.
Though the designers agreed to alter their proposal, Mori explained that he hopes the changes to the home, which is a Spanish Colonial Revival, will incorporate some modern elements without changing the feel of the home.
Chairman Patel also suggested that the designers “pay attention to all the architectural features on that street.”
The designers will have another opportunity to present their proposed modifications at the committee’s July 6 meeting.
