Old Forty Foot Road Townhouse Development

1560 Old Forty Foot Rd, Towamencin, PA · 96 homes, townhomes · 25.0 acres

About this project

Pulte Homes of PA is proposing a community of 96 townhomes and twin homes on roughly 24 acres of three parcels at 1560, 1580 and 1630 Old Forty Foot Road in Towamencin Township, near the Sumneytown Pike and I-476 interchanges. The land is zoned for agricultural-residential use, which doesn't allow townhomes, so the township would need to approve a zoning change first.

County planning commission: Supports, with comments

Issues raised: R-200 zoning does not permit townhomes; rezoning needed, Density of 3.75 units/acre far exceeds the 0.5 allowed under current zoning, Open space for recreation (2.5 to 3.5 acres minimum) not clearly provided, Floodplain encroachment and stream crossing for access drive, Sidewalk continuity through the development unclear, Traffic impact study required
