Malloy said an applicant tied to a matter in Raytown had not applied for a required second special‑use permit, had not begun construction by an agreed date and that several residents were concerned. He asked, “How do I, as a citizen, bring it before the city again?” and noted a December 20 deadline connected to the matter.
Commissioners and staff did not resolve the procedural question during the meeting. The chair and staff said the commission has the authority under the ordinance to recommend to the Board of Aldermen that an action be rescinded or revised, but that the process is not automatic and specifics depend on the ordinance language and the facts of the case. City staff offered to follow up directly; a staff member told Malloy, “I have answers to your questions. I will do that,” and offered to discuss the issue by phone the next day.
No formal action was taken at the Dec. 5 meeting on Malloy’s item; commissioners agreed to defer a deeper review and staff offered to provide specific procedural guidance to Malloy and to the commission outside the meeting.
Key clarifying details raised by Malloy in public comment: he stated the applicant had until Dec. 20 to apply for a second special‑use permit and had not started construction; he also said the municipal language allows the commission to present a request to the Board of Aldermen to rescind or change an approval but does not make that rescission automatic if conditions are unmet. Staff did not provide a statutory step‑by‑step during the hearing and directed Malloy to follow up with staff for specific instructions on procedure and possible next steps.
