The subject <br />site is a 1.5 acre parcel of land located on the south side of First Street and east of Grand Avenue. <br />The site is currently developed with a 7,865 square foot restaurant building and 17,877 square foot <br />two -story motel. Tierra Blanca Restaurant is a sit -down, casual eating establishment specializing <br />in Mexican cuisine. The restaurant currently operates within a 4,268 square foot tenant area and <br />contains an additional 3,597 square feet of basement area. The applicant has processed tenant <br />improvements prior to the submittal of this application to modify the basement space. Previous to <br />the improvements, the basement space was utilized for storage of dry goods and equipment; <br />however, the building improvements now allow the basement to be used for customer <br />occupancy. The restaurant's hours of operation are Monday to Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to <br />midnight and Friday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to midnight. Full -sized site plans are available for <br />public viewing in the Clerk of the Council Office. <br />31A-1 <br />
