Planning & Zoning 7/21/2026

The City of Raymore Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 21, 2026, primarily to consider a conditional use permit request from Cass County Public Water Supply District Number 10 for the construction and operation of a new water tower. The proposed 185-foot tower, intended to serve the northern pressure zone including future city parkland and unincorporated areas, was discussed in detail including zoning, site plans, and required conditions such as platting and landscaping. The commission unanimously approved forwarding the permit with conditions. Additionally, the meeting included updates on recent city council actions related to annexations and plats, building permit activity including a fire district administration building expansion, and a discussion on the planning efforts for a new $31-35 million criminal justice center project. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the water tower project and criminal justice center represent significant upcoming capital infrastructure investments for the city.
