The shrunken University Hills subdivision (980 to 325 homes) moved forward only after the council required relocating two lots in the glider flight path and ordered a resolution legitimizing hang-glider access — an attempt to settle a years-long dispute with the Crestline Soaring Society without litigation.

The long-stalled foothill development would cut homes from 980 to 327, but hang gliders at Andy Jackson Air Park say a handful of lots threaten their landing approach, and residents worry about fire and earthquake risk. The council needs more time and continues to July 15.

A scaled-down 327-home foothills development would put houses under the landing approach at Andy Jackson Air Park, a federally mandated hang gliding site run by the Crestline Soaring Society.
