The short answer: the City of Edmond launched an interactive Development Tracker map on Oct. 13, 2026. It plots zoning cases, site plans, plats and commercial building permits, and anyone can use it to see what's proposed near an address.

Translation: you can stop finding out about the new gas station when the dirt trucks show up.

Here's what's on the map, what isn't, and how to use it. The numbers below are as of Oct. 28, 2026.

What Is Edmond's Development Tracker?

It's an online map from the city's Development Services, Planning and Information Technology departments. According to the city's launch announcement, it pulls information from the permitting system into one place, so you don't have to dig through meeting packets to see what's coming.

Brian Blundell, chair of the Edmond Planning Commission, called it "a convenient and transparent way to explore projects throughout Edmond." Fair. It's a lot easier than a stack of PDFs.

The records behind the map hold about 430 distinct cases.

Layer on the map Cases What's in it
Commercial Building 226 120 new construction and 106 alterations
Site Plan 73 Layouts for specific projects
Rezoning 64 Zoning changes, including PUDs
Plat Review 55 Preliminary and final plats
Sign Permit 14 Sign permits

Case counts are a tally of the city's public map data on Oct. 28, 2026, with each case number counted once.

One thing to know: a handful of those cases carry 2022 case numbers, so a dot on the map doesn't always mean a bulldozer is coming. The map's Terms of Use also says the city can't guarantee the data is 100 percent accurate.

How Do I Look Up What's Being Built Near My House?

Here are the steps, from a desktop browser.

1. Open the Map

Go to edmondok.gov/DevTrack. It sends you to the city's Development Tracker.

2. Accept the Terms

A Terms of Use screen pops up first. Click "Yes, I Accept." No login, no account.

3. Search Your Address or a Project Name

Use the "Find Active Projects" box in the upper left. Type your street address or a project name, and the map zooms in. Project suggestions are grouped by type, like Plat and Site Plan.

4. Click What You See

Click a shaded area or an icon to open a popup. The popups checked for this guide showed the case type, case number, case name, status, a short description and the owner's name.

5. Use the Legend and Layers

The Legend explains the colors and icons. The Layers panel lets you switch Plat Review, Rezoning, Site Plan, Commercial Building and Sign Permit on and off. If the map looks like confetti, turn off everything but the layer you care about.

Heads up on the status labels: they're raw system codes, like PLAN_APPR or APPRF_OPN, and the city doesn't appear to publish a key for them. The city's Planning Department can translate at (405) 359-4790.

What Do Zoning Cases, Site Plans, Plats and Permits Mean?

The tracker doesn't define these, so here are my plain-English versions.

  • Rezoning: a request to change what's allowed on a piece of land. The tracker's rezoning layer includes planned unit developments, or PUDs, which are rezonings tied to a specific plan.
  • Site plan: the layout for one project, like where the building, parking and driveways go.
  • Plat: the map that divides land into lots, streets and easements. The tracker shows preliminary and final plats. The city says the Planning Commission is the final authority on preliminary plats.
  • Commercial building permit: permission to build or remodel a commercial space. The tracker splits these into new construction and alterations.
  • Sign permit: exactly what it sounds like.

What Notable Projects Are on the Map Right Now?

Here are three spots worth a look. The details come from the tracker's records and one named news report. And remember, a case name on the map isn't a promise that something opens.

Legacy at Covell

The development near I-35 and Covell has a cluster of cases. Statuses are shown exactly as the tracker lists them.

Case name Case number Status as shown
Whole Foods at Legacy at Covell (site plan, 7.07 acres) SP25-00007 PLAN_APPR
Chipotle (site plan) SP25-00006 AUTHORIZED
Shake Shack (site plan) SP26-00006 AUTHORIZED
Ruth's Chris (site plan) SP25-00003 REVIEW
Texas Roadhouse (site plan) SP25-00004 REVIEW
Anchors Phase II (site plan, 15.19 acres) SP26-00005 RESUB_RVW
Sephora (commercial interior alteration) B26-00808 PLAN_APPR

OnCue at Covell and Kelly

The tracker lists a site plan (SP25-00017) for OnCue #156 at the southeast corner of Covell Road and Kelly Avenue, plus a final plat (PR25-00010) with Honeyfield Development, LLC as owner.

According to the Oklahoma State Capital, the council unanimously approved the final plat on July 27, and it reserves 5.19 acres. The paper also reports that on Nov. 9 the council will take up a request to exempt the site from the city's 325-foot driveway-spacing rule. It says a construction start and opening date haven't been confirmed. The store is part of the roughly 150-acre Kelly Corner development.

Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park

The park, northwest of E. 2nd St. and N. Coltrane Rd., has a site plan and two plat cases on the map. It also has several commercial permits. The Park Offices and the Cross Timbers Camp showed as ISSUED, and an 11,000-square-foot event center was listed as REVIEW.

If parks are your thing, my guide to the best parks and trails in Edmond covers where to walk, bike or wear out the dog.

You'll also see plenty of chatter on OKCTalk and Facebook about what's going where. It's handy for knowing what to search for, but it's community talk, not fact, until the city's records say so.

What's Happening With Data Centers in Edmond?

Short version: there's a pause in place, and the city is working on rules.

  • The City Council unanimously approved a moratorium on data center applications in June, according to the city and Oklahoma Politics Today.
  • On Oct. 26, Planning presented a proposed update to the Unified Development Code, and the council discussed how large-scale data centers should be handled. The city's Oct. 26 council meeting update says no specific data center application was considered.
  • Oklahoma Politics Today reports the council signaled support for extending the moratorium, which expires Dec. 31, by as much as 120 days. It also reports that Planning Director Ken Bryan knew of no pending applications.

A search of the tracker's records for "data center" turned up nothing, which matches the news reports. No proposal, no pin on the map.

The rules are still a work in progress, so this is one to keep an eye on.

How Can Residents Weigh In?

The map tells you what's filed. The meetings are where decisions happen.

  • Planning Commission: meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays in the Council Chambers at 22 E. Main St. It reviews rezonings, site plans and plats. Its OnBoard page has the details.
  • City Council: normally meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays at City Hall. See the city's council meetings page.
  • Citizen Comments: you get one three-minute turn, but it's for matters not on the agenda or scheduled for a public hearing. You can sign up online by 3 p.m. the day of the meeting, or in person before it starts.
  • Agendas and notices: the city posts them on its Open Meetings page.

Not sure where to start? Call the Planning Department at (405) 359-4790.

The Bottom Line

Edmond's Development Tracker is a useful tool, with caveats. It covers commercial permits, not home permits. The status codes are cryptic. A dot on the map isn't a groundbreaking.

But if you want to know what's proposed near your house, it beats finding out from a construction fence. Go type in your address and see what's coming. What's the first thing you'll look up?

And if you're weighing a move to town, my honest breakdown of whether Edmond is a good place to live is a good next read.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Edmond's development tracker?

It's at edmondok.gov/DevTrack, which opens the City of Edmond's interactive Development Tracker map. It's free, and you don't need an account. You just accept a Terms of Use screen first. If something on the map looks wrong or confusing, the city's Planning Department is at (405) 359-4790.

Does it show residential permits or only commercial?

Only commercial building permits and sign permits. The tracker has no layer for individual home building permits. New neighborhoods can still show up through plat and rezoning cases, and the city's announcement says the map covers zoning cases, site plans, plats and commercial building permits.

Is Edmond allowing data centers?

Not right now. The City Council unanimously approved a moratorium on data center applications in June, and the city says it was meant to allow time for research and evaluation. The Oct. 26 council meeting covered proposed data center rules, but the city says no specific data center application was considered. News reports say the council signaled support for extending the moratorium, which expires Dec. 31, by up to 120 days.

How do I find out about a zoning change near me?

Search your address on the Development Tracker and look for rezoning cases nearby. Then check the Planning Commission's agendas, since the commission reviews rezonings, site plans and plats. It meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays at 22 E. Main St. You can also call the city's Planning Department at (405) 359-4790.
