Summary

The EDA endorsed a consultant‑hosted property‑listing portal that is live and links from the EDA website; the portal allows owners to submit mapped listings, upload materials and indicate lease or sale status, while the consultant will verify owner consent during an initial one‑year hosting period.

At the Dec. 4 meeting the EDA reviewed and endorsed a new property‑listing portal that is now live and linked from the EDA website.

Consultant Jennifer Hascamp demonstrated the portal’s mapping interface, color‑coded pins for land use, and a submission form that allows private owners and brokers to list properties for sale or lease at no charge. "It is currently live. So, if you'd like to list your property, you're set," Hascamp said during the demonstration.

Hascamp said the portal will be hosted by the consultant for a one‑year trial to work out technical and licensing details before transferring long‑term hosting to city staff. The consultant plans to verify ownership and permission before publishing listings and to use ArcGIS/EZRI hosting; initial hosting costs are being absorbed as part of the consultant contract, with staff to report back in 2026 on actual hosting costs once listing volume is known.

Staff said it will send outreach letters to known property owners and promote the portal to developers at a December developers’ roundtable. The portal's features include: zone/land‑use color coding, pin pop‑ups with owner contact or broker links, file upload for flyers, and status flags for 'under contract' or 'active.' The board voted to move forward with the portal and to coordinate outreach.

Next steps: staff and consultants will promote the portal to property owners and developers, verify owner consents for initial listings, and return to the EDA with recommended long‑term hosting and cost options.
