Department Store building, which is currently registered and categorized as a Historic Landmark in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, The Pizza Press restaurant proposes to operate within two suites that previously contained a banking /financial institution and a medical office. The building was originally constructed in 1917 and was used by the Rankin Dry Goods company. Shortly after, the structure suffered major damages from the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Permits were issued to repair those damages and through the years, additional permits were issued to ensure that the building offered amenities such as a new elevator in 1950, bringing in significant tenants to the building. BBVA Bancomer USA and 4t" Street Optometry operated in units 101 and 102, respectively, from the late 2000's until recently. The Pizza Press submitted for occupancy in January of 2017 and shortly after submitted plans to the Planning and Building Agency to combine the two separate units. The Pizza Press is a franchise restaurant currently operating in California with nine locations and will be opening an additional 15 locations in other states such as; Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas. The restaurant offers customers the ability to order personal signature pizzas or a unique pizza of their choice. Several of the locations already offer beer and wine as part of the services with the majority of the locations offering craft beers unique to the area. The proposed location at the Rankin Building will be the first in Santa Ana. 31 B -4
