In-N-Out has proposed a 3,860-square-foot building with 84 indoor seats, as well as a 30-car drive-thru lane and 74 parking stalls.
Abbate said once construction begins on a new location, it usually takes eight to nine months to build a restaurant and open for business.
The proposal includes plans for a new stucco building with patio seating, open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant expects to have 10 to 15 employees working each shift, with three shifts per day.
The proposal is the second in the county. In-N-Out, which has about 400 locations around the Western U.S., proposed a location in Ridgefield in February.
The company touted the Ridgefield location as the first proposed restaurant in Washington. The closest location to Clark County is in Keizer, Ore., although Washington County, Ore., approved a land-use application for a location in Beaverton, Ore., just last week.
In-N-Out is a cultural icon in California, long known for its simple and affordable menu.
The 76-year-old fast-food chain serves burgers, cheeseburgers, milkshakes and fries. Burgers can be made a variety of ways from the restaurant’s “Not So Secret Menu.” Customers can customize burgers with two meat patties, with three or four patties and cheese slices, without meat, without a bun or served animal style — a mustard-cooked patty with pickles, extra spread and grilled onions.
“We look forward to the possibility of being part of the Vancouver community, and having this great location to serve our customers,” Abbate said.
