Resident warns council a proposed Moose Lodge event venue could bring late‑night noise to a residential area
Summary
A resident told the Eden Plus City Council the city should scrutinize a permit that could turn the former Moose Lodge into a nightclub or event center, pointing to prior neighborhood complaints about alcohol‑served venues and urging use of municipal noise code (chapter 8).
A speaker identified as Malinaro told the council on July 13 that a permit application for the former Moose Lodge — proposed for conversion to a nightclub or event center — could recreate problems the neighborhood experienced with a previous veterans’ organization venue.
"If there's a liquor license application applied for ... you will now have a business literally in a neighborhood serving alcohol to the general public," Malinaro said, urging council members to review municipal noise control rules. He referenced the city’s municipal code under noise control (chapter 8) and said constant noise can affect residents’ mental well‑being.
Malinaro said he was concerned about potential police calls and neighborhood complaints if an alcohol‑serving venue operates near homes. He asked council to examine past reports and to consider code enforcement or permit conditions to reduce impacts if the application moves forward.
Council did not take action during the public‑comment period; officials acknowledged the concern and were asked to review the municipal code as part of any permit review process.
