Autumn Chase Phase IX is the ninth section of a planned residential community along Hertzler Road and South Autumn Chase Drive in Upper Allen Township. It covers 24 single-family detached homes on a new street called Buckwheat Court, plus a leftover tract of land.
The township's project list shows the full community was first tentatively approved in 2012 for 295 homes in eight phases. Other sections have already been built or recorded, and later phases are still being reviewed. Phase IX itself has finished the approval process. The township's planning commission recommended conditional approval in June 2025, the Board of Commissioners conditionally approved it in July 2025, and the final plat was recorded in February 2026.
No news coverage or opposition was found. The township page does not name the developer.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 24 more single-family households to a growing neighborhood, served by Hertzler Road and South Autumn Chase Drive.
- A new local street (Buckwheat Court) will connect to the existing community street network.
- The wider community has been built in phases, so construction activity may continue nearby as later sections are reviewed.
Where it stands
Phase IX has completed township approval, and its final plat was recorded in February 2026. Next come construction of the street and utilities, building permits for each home, and then home sales.

How to comment officially
For this project: Phase IX is already approved and recorded, so there is no remaining decision on it. Residents can still comment on later Autumn Chase phases at Upper Allen Township planning commission and Board of Commissioners meetings.
