An application requesting an amendment to the text of Article II of the Zoning Ordinance to add a definition of a Kat Lounge. A Kat Lounge is defined as “A nonprofit, community-based establishment that offers a calm, sensory-friendly environment where individuals can relax, study, or socialize in the presence of resident cats. The primary purpose of a Kat Lounge is to promote emotional wellness, provide therapeutic enrichment, and foster positive human-animal interactions. Unlike a cat adoption agency, a Kat Lounge is not focused on rehoming animals; resident cats are long-term companions or personally owned by the operator. The space may include quiet lounge areas, study rooms, and workstations, and may serve prepackaged food and beverages. The facility must comply with all applicable health, safety, and animal care standards as required by local, county and state regulations.” The application is further requesting an amendment to the text of Article XXXI of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a Kat Lounge as a Special Use in R-R-3 Zoning District and consideration of a Special Use Permit for a Kat Lounge at 923 E.
