University Hills Housing Development

The Andy Jackson Airpark is home to 30 years of hang gliding history in San Bernardino. We are now threatened by a 980 home development called University Hills. The current plan includes 12 homes at the extreme north west corner of the project that would block the landing approach to the airpark. The project also includes 234 acres of open space. We need your help to ask the City and the developer to keep the approach clear. Move the open space (a little) and keep hang gliding alive and healthy in San Bernardino. We are not opposed to the housing development at all. We simply want to eliminate the need to swoop low over homes on our landing approach and minimize the potential problems for pilots and homeowners. The Draft Environmental Impact Report is available now on the City website: http://www.ci.san-bernardino.ca.us/depts/devserv/planning
