Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mark Roger Date: Sun, Oct 11, 2026 at 1:50 PM Subject: Request to treated as interested party SPC-2026-0258A To: <Randall.Rouda@austontexas.gov>, <Shakayla.Stevenson@austintexas.gov> Cc: Dear Mr. Rouda & Ms. Stevenson, I have attached a request to be considered an interested party in the Conditional Use application for a rooftop cocktail lounge at 400 Comal Street. Whereas cocktail lounges by nature often create problems in or near residential areas, rooftop lounges present special opportunities for disruption, especially when combined with outdoor amplified music. In recent years, our neighborhood north of East 6th Street, has experienced perpetual disruption during daytime and nighttime, sometimes in early morning hours (after midnight) as a result of amplified sound coming from rooftop lounges; specifically Inn Cahoots and The Flower Shop. Unfortunately the City's enforcement is slow to provide results and repeat violations do not come with serious enough consequences to stop the problems from recurring. Assuming the rooftop cocktail lounge use is granted, our hope is that conditions placed within the zoning on the use will limit the hours and volume of outdoor sound at 400 Comal.
