Animal Rescue use in the Land Use Ordinance
Summary
A complaint about an existing cat rescue exposed a gap in the code — there was no legal category for animal rescues. The new standards cap animals at 75, require a 60,000-sq-ft lot in the C-S zone, and still require a conditional use permit with building compliance.

Impact analysis
The applicant faces potentially costly upgrades (ADA, restrooms, water) to secure a conditional use permit within roughly 30 days of code adoption.
The city's animal control operations and the rescue's volunteer network benefit from a legal framework.
Neighbors concerned about odor and the facility's lack of running water remain watchful; the city must enforce the new standards.
