A proposal to create housing on Oat Hill in American Canyon is colliding with the Napa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
R.H. Hess Development wants to build 291 multifamily homes on this 250-foot-high city landmark about 1.5 miles from the airport. But 51 of the homes would be within an airport compatibility zone where homes are prohibited.
For the Airport Land Use Commission on Wednesday, the decision proved to be straightforward. Members said some of the proposed homes are in "Zone D," so they had to find the proposed project inconsistent with the plan.
