The Mooresville Planning Board convened on June 24, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a proposal for a cat café and updates on previous cases.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the proposed cat café, which aims to operate in the downtown district. The café's co-applicant, Ronnie LaBarbara, clarified that the cats would remain at the café for a designated period, rather than returning to the shelter after each visit. LaBarbara emphasized the intention to establish the café in the downtown area, avoiding residential neighborhoods to align with community interests.

Board members expressed their support for the proposal, noting that the café fits well within the mixed-use district. A motion was made by board member Temple to approve the simplified language of the proposal, with an amendment to allow the café by right in the TD district. This motion was seconded by board member Mark Wall and subsequently passed unanimously.

Following the café discussion, the board reviewed updates on other cases. The blonde and hair salon on Charlotte Highway received approval from the town board, while a data center proposal remains pending, and a text amendment for cottages was withdrawn by the applicant.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for any further discussions or motions, but no additional items were raised. The board's recommendations and decisions will now be forwarded to the town board for final approval.
