Montrose hotel CUP (900 Hammond)

A Neighborhood Watch block captain urged denial, citing noise, exhaust from idling vehicles, blocked parking, drivers congregating and smoking, and complaints the city never recorded.

The owner of the property directly behind the hotel described over 100 stray tennis balls, mechanical noise, rooftop activity late at night, and cigarette butts in his yard; he asked for denial or far stronger pre-conditions.

A decades-long resident on the corner of Cynthia and Hammond described blocked garage access, noise, smoking congregants, blaring car stereos, and trash, worried the restaurant opening would make it worse.

A 24-year Cynthia Street resident formally opposed CUPA 26-0007, describing the treeless narrow street as an echo chamber for noise, an overwhelmed valet, and complaints going to the front desk instead of the city.

A resident across from the Montrose described echoing noise, tennis court lights on all night, and traffic and parking hazards on weekends, urging the commission to simply oppose the measure.
