Get your orders ready.

If everything goes smoothly with the city of Medford, construction on In-N-Out's first Oregon location could begin as early as summer 2015.

After submitting their site plans to the city on Jan. 5, the fast food chain's application must now go through a 30-day confirmation process with various departments.

"We're going to make sure they have the right site plan, right landscape stuff," Bill Hoke, Deputy City Manager of Medford, said. "We're just going to the code and following what it says we need and if it's a completed application. We have 30 days to do a completeness check, but we seldom ever use that long."

Once that process is complete, In-N-Out will have to set a Site Planning and Architecture Commission hearing date to file for permits through the building departments.

The earliest date for that meeting could be sometime in February or March. It's reasonable, Hoke said, that the fast food chain could begin construction by this summer.

"They're [In-N-Out] pretty good at what they do in terms of the application process," Hoke said. "They'll probably have all their necessary paperwork. We'll just have to go through and check everything off the list."

Like many Oregonians, Hoke is very excited for the opening.

"It's a big deal, it really is," he said. "When the first one opened in Vegas, it was a big deal, so you can imagine about having one here and being the first in the state. We don't anticipate any roadblocks, although nothing is guaranteed because it is a public process. It's a good company, good product, good location, good decision and goodness gracious we're glad it's here."

In-N-Out will be located at 1968 Crater Lake Hwy, Medford.
