Autumn Chase Phase VI adds 36 semi-attached homes (duplex-style, two homes sharing a wall) to an existing, partly built neighborhood in Upper Allen Township. The homes sit on shared "common ground" rather than individual lots, and they connect to public sewer and water. The site is near Hertzler Road and Sweet Honey Lane.
Autumn Chase is a planned residential development. The township gave it tentative approval in 2012 for up to 295 homes in eight phases, with a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and duplexes. In September 2024 the township commissioners rezoned a leftover 14.8-acre tract so the planned-development rules would apply to it. The rezoning also allowed 22 more single-family detached homes.
The township lists Phase VI as under development. The township page does not name the developer, and no news coverage or opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 36 homes to an existing neighborhood, so local street traffic will likely increase, mainly around Hertzler Road.
- Public sewer and water serve the homes, according to county records.
