Plute Homes residential development

The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026

Pulte Homes of Pennsylvania proposes 74 homes on about 19.7 acres near Pottstown Pike, Birchrun Road and Lexington Boulevard in West Vincent Township. The mix is 28 single-family detached homes and 46 townhomes. The county record spells the name "Plute", but township documents use "Pulte".

The request is a conditional use. That is a special approval the township supervisors must grant before detailed plans can be reviewed. The site falls under the township's Village Center Residential Overlay District. A township notice lists a different company as the property owner.

The township planning commission recommended that the supervisors deny the request. Residents commented on density, speeding, recreation areas and the Birchrun/Lexington intersection. The supervisors held a hearing on May 4, 2026. June 2026 minutes describe a proposed order to deny the application, then record a unanimous vote on a motion to approve a conditional use order. Reading the minutes alone, the final outcome could not be confirmed.

What it could mean nearby

• Traffic: residents raised the Birchrun Road/Lexington Boulevard intersection and speeding, and a new transportation impact study was filed for the hearing.
• Density: 74 homes on about 19.7 acres was a main concern raised by residents and the planning commission.
• Open space: a greenway plan and recreation areas were part of the revised plans and the public discussion.
• New housing: the plan would add 28 detached homes and 46 townhomes.

Where it stands

The supervisors completed their hearing on May 4, 2026 and voted on a conditional use order on June 15, 2026. The minutes are ambiguous about whether the application was approved or denied, and township executive sessions mention possible litigation. If it was approved, detailed land development plans would go to the township for review next. If it was denied, the applicant could appeal to court.
