It will include approximately 802 square feet of dining area <br />with seating for over 30 guests. The proposed hours of operation are between 5 a.m. to 12 <br />a.m. for both indoor dining and the drive -through operations, 7 days a week. <br />The building is designed in a California contemporary architectural style with a neutral/dark <br />color palette and tones along the outer facades, which would involve materials such as <br />plaster/stucco, aluminum, and metals. The site would provide approximately 8,604 square <br />feet of landscaping throughout the site and the proposed plant palette would consist of a <br />high quality plant materials including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and groundcover. The <br />proposed planter areas would be constructed along the northern, western, and southern <br />site perimeters and would provide decorative screening and a buffer between the eating <br />establishment and the adjacent, off -site land uses, in addition to being placed centrally <br />within the proposed surface parking lot and adjacent to the proposed drive -through.

No buildings or structures were present on site at this <br />time and most of the surrounding area was used for orchards, with some houses and <br />agricultural buildings in the vicinity. The single-family residence addressed as 2101 E. <br />Santa Clara Avenue was constructed at an unknown date and moved to the site in <br />1967. In 1967, a permit was issued to relocate the home within the site and build a new <br />garage approximately 660 square feet in size. The single-family residence addressed as <br />2109 E. Santa Clara Avenue was constructed circa 1957 and included the main house <br />and garage. The house remained surrounded by orchard trees, as well as most of the <br />
