Phase 3 of Dover Highlands is a proposed addition of 68 apartments on about 5.5 acres in Dover Township, York County. The county record describes it as a preliminary land development plan. That is an early-stage site layout, not a final approval. Site Design Concepts is the firm named on the filing.
Earlier phases are already built or being built nearby. A 2023 business news report described the first phase as 136 one- and two-bedroom apartments in two-story buildings. It sits on a larger tract next to the Dover high school. Township minutes show a later plan revision for some of the buildings in 2024.
No news coverage, opposition or approval specific to Phase 3 was found. The township's active-projects list also has no separate Phase 3 entry.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 68 homes to an existing apartment community, increasing local housing supply.
- More residents would likely mean more traffic on the roads serving the complex and the nearby school campus. No traffic study was found.
- Stormwater, sewer and water capacity are normally reviewed at later plan stages. No details were found.
Where it stands
The county filing from November 2024 shows the plan at the preliminary land development stage. Usually the township planning commission and supervisors review it next, then the developer submits a final plan with engineering details. No decision on Phase 3 was found online.
