That might not do anything, since /Library/Tomcat is a symlink.

$ sudo chown -R your_username /Library/Tomcat/

...might work better (note the trailing / which causes the symlink to
be followed, rather than just changing the permissions on the link
itself).

Do you really even need that symlink?

Here's my setup:

$ echo $CATALINA_HOME
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.27

$ ls -l $CATALINA_HOME
total 168
- -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  56797 Mar 31 10:45 LICENSE

drwxr-xr-x  22 root  wheel    748 Apr  3 10:05 lib
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel     68 Mar 31 10:44 logs
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel    102 Mar 31 10:44 temp
drwxr-xr-x   7 root  wheel    238 Mar 31 10:44 webapps
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel     68 Mar 31 10:44 work

$ echo $CATALINA_BASE
/home/chris/.webapps/mywebapp

$ ls -l $CATALINA_BASE
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   5 chris  staff  170 May 11 15:21 conf
drwxr-xr-x  16 chris  staff  544 Jun 19 12:20 logs
drwxr-xr-x   2 chris  staff   68 May 11 15:21 temp
drwxr-xr-x   4 chris  staff  136 May 11 15:21 webapps
drwxr-xr-x   3 chris  staff  102 May 11 15:21 work

conf/ contains server.xml and web.xml. webapps/ contains (surprise) my
webapps. work/, logs/, and temp/ are empty before initial launch.

With both CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE set, I can run
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh and everything runs without any issues.

No sudo. No root. All is well.
