Can a hood fan that is Hard Wired be connected to the required 210.11(C)(1) small appliance branch circuit?

Did you go to 210.52(B) that was referenced in 210.11(C)(1)?
There it tells you what outlets are to be served and then says it shall serve no other outlets.

So you guys are saying a Range Hood is an "outlet" by definition?
The box in the wall w/ conductors from a sabc that the hood would be tied to is an outlet- see art 100 for outlet def.
Thats where the violation is.

Are you saying the branch circuit conductors extending from the box to the hood are an "outlet"?

The range hood cannot be connected to the sabc
Depends on the interpretation, but generally where the connection is (where current is being taken from, not where it could be) is where the outlet is making Alwons answer the better answer....
VVVVVVVVVV
However, even if boxed wires or nm whip wasn't being connected to anything at all- it could still be a violation based solely on the fact its being fed by the SABC outside of area specified to be SABC. Kind of like the receptacle directly opposite the kitchen in another room that is connected to an SABC.

If the hood were cord-and-plug-connected...
is the Hood the "outlet"
or
is the grounding-type attachment Plug the "outlet"

Just trying to understand at what "Point" the Hood becomes an "Outlet"

The termination point of where your wire meets the hood conductors would be the point as I stated earlier.

OK got that Dennis.
If the hood were cord-and-plug connected...is the "outlet point" the receptacle that it plugs into?

If you are supplying a load by definition there is an outlet somewhere. Sometimes exact location of the outlet is debatable.
