Planning Commission approves Bank of Oklahoma facade variance for Campus Corner branch — An architectural rendering shows the proposed facade for Bank of Oklahoma's Campus Corner branch at 229 S. Knoblock St. The design features storefront windows on the left side of the entrance and an ATM with night deposit box on the right, requiring a variance from the city's Form Based Code symmetry requirements.

The Stillwater Planning Commission approved an alternative design for Bank of Oklahoma's Campus Corner branch Tuesday, clearing the way for construction to begin on the former ice cream shop property.

Commissioners unanimously approved the bank's request to modify the facade at 229 S. Knoblock St., replacing storefront windows on one side of the entrance with an ATM and night deposit box. The design required a variance from the city's Form Based Code, which mandates symmetric facades with no blank walls in the district.
