Artisan Land Company proposes to subdivide a tract of about 50 acres off Centennial Street (Bucher Road) into 27 single-family home lots and 3 open space lots. The plan has two entrances onto the road. The land today is open space: farm fields, woods, steep slopes and stream valleys. The overall project continues into Schwenksville Borough and Lower Frederick Township.
A January 2025 Perkiomen Township Planning Commission agenda says the township portion would use the township's Open Space Residential overlay. That is a zoning option that allows homes to be grouped so more land stays undeveloped. The agenda also says a preliminary plan had been submitted for review. No news coverage, opposition, or approval decision was found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Two new entrances onto Centennial Street (Bucher Road) would add turning traffic to that road.
- The 27 new homes would add households that use local roads, utilities and schools.
- The three open space lots, plus the Open Space Residential approach, could keep part of the tract undeveloped.
- The steep slopes and stream valleys on the site make stormwater and erosion control important review topics.
Where it stands
The project is under local review. The latest county filing is dated 2025-06-13, and no final approval was found online. Next usually come planning commission and governing body review of the preliminary plan, then a final plan and permits before construction.
