To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Nate Levine, Public Works Director/Town Engineer
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with Theis Engineering & Associates Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution:
Authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Theis Engineering & Associates for consultant engineering services through June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $128,000.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department has had two vacant engineering positions - Senior Engineer and Associate Engineer - since January 2026. In March 2026, the Town conducted a recruitment for the Associate Engineer position. The recruitment produced one applicant, who was not advanced to an interview because the applicant's background and experience did not align with the Town's needs.
The Town is currently recruiting again for both positions, with applications scheduled to close on June 28, 2026. Following the application period, the Town will need to review applications, conduct interviews, complete the selection process, and allow time for the selected candidates to begin employment. The timing and outcome of these recruitments are not yet known.
In addition to these vacancies, an Engineering Technician will leave Town employment at the end of June 2026. This departure will further reduce available staffing and create an immediate need for temporary professional project management services to maintain progress on active capital projects while the Town continues its recruitment efforts.
DISCUSSION
Professional CIP project management services are needed to maintain progress on active capital projects during the current staffing shortage.
7 Staff therefore recommends entering into a professional services agreement with Theis Engineering & Associates for temporary professional CIP project management services. The Town has worked with Theis Engineering & Associates (Theis) over the years for project delivery and related professional services. Under the proposed agreement, Theis would assign qualified personnel knowledgeable about the Town's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), active projects, consultants, funding sources, and internal procedures. This arrangement will allow assigned capital projects to continue with limited onboarding during the Department's ongoing recruitments. The Town would identify assigned projects, priorities, schedules, budget parameters, and required deliverables, and Theis would be responsible for managing and supervising its personnel to complete the work. Services would be provided remotely beginning in mid-July 2026. Services may include:
• Managing assigned capital projects through planning, design, bidding, construction, and closeout;
• Coordinating project schedules, budgets, funding requirements, consultant deliverables, contractors, utilities, and stakeholders;
• Reviewing plans, specifications, cost estimates, invoices, pay applications, change orders, and reimbursement requests;
• Supporting project accounting, financial tracking, contract administration, and record retention; and
• Providing technical and administrative support related to assigned CIP projects, utility coordination, development review, and permit coordination, as requested for project delivery.
The proposed billing rate is $115 per hour. Preauthorized overtime would be billed at $160 per hour. These rates would remain valid through June 30, 2027. The proposed not-to-exceed amount of $128,000 is expected to provide approximately six months of professional CIP project management services, including limited overtime and incidental expenses.
The agreement would extend through June 30, 2027, providing flexibility to continue the services if needed. Theis could not exceed the initial $128,000 authorization without a future contract amendment and additional approval from the Town Council. The Town may also reduce or terminate the services as permanent positions are filled and staffing levels stabilize.
Staff recommends awarding the agreement on a sole-source basis, given the Town's prior experience with Theis Engineering & Associates and the firm's ability to provide professional CIP project management services with knowledge of the Town's projects and procedures. This approach will maintain project continuity while avoiding the delay and duplication associated with transitioning active work to a new consultant. Not proceeding with this agreement would require reprioritizing current projects and delivery schedules.
FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement has an initial not-to-exceed amount of $128,000. Costs will be funded through salary and benefit savings from vacant Public Works positions and available budgets for the capital projects supported by Theis. Consultant time will be charged to the appropriate operating or CIP budget based on the work performed. No additional appropriation is requested with this action.
8 CEQA COMPLIANCE
Approval of a professional services agreement for temporary professional CIP project management services is an organizational and administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the agreement with modifications to the term, scope, or not-to-exceed amount.
2. Do not approve the agreement and provide an alternative direction to staff.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval, staff will finalize and route the professional services agreement for execution.
Professional CIP project management services are anticipated to begin in mid-July 2026. Staff will continue the recruitment processes for Senior Engineer and Associate Engineer positions and will adjust the level of consultant support as positions are filled and operational needs change.

AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THEIS ENGINEERING & ASSOCIATES FOR

WHEREAS, the Public Works Department has had vacant Senior Engineer and Associate Engineer positions since January 2026, is actively recruiting to fill both positions, and will lose an Engineering Technician at the end of June 2026;
WHEREAS, temporary professional CIP project management services are needed to maintain progress on active capital improvement projects while recruitment efforts continue; WHEREAS, the Town has previously used Theis Engineering & Associates for similar project delivery services, and the firm is able to provide professional CIP project management services with knowledge of Town projects and procedures, allowing assigned project work to continue with minimal transition time; and
WHEREAS, the proposed agreement will extend through June 30, 2027, with an initial notto-exceed amount of $128,000 funded through salary and benefit savings and available capital improvement project budgets.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Moraga authorizes the Town Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Theis Engineering & Associates for professional CIP project management services through June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $128,000, in a form approved by the Town Attorney.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Manager is authorized to execute minor amendments and take other actions necessary to administer the agreement, provided that such actions do not increase the authorized not-to-exceed amount or extend the agreement beyond June 30, 2027.

PUBLIC HEARING: 8A.
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Nate Levine, Public Works Director / Town Engineer Jeanet Lara, Senior Administrative Assistant
Subject: Authorization to Levy Assessments for Assessment District 1979-1, Town of Moraga Street Lighting for Fiscal Year 2026-27
Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
1. Conduct a Public Hearing regarding the levy of the proposed assessments for Assessment District 1979-1, Town of Moraga Street Lighting (District) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27; and
2. Adopt a Resolution confirming the Engineer’s Report for the District, approving the District assessments and Assessment Diagram, and ordering the levy and collection of District Assessments for FY 2026-27.
BACKGROUND
Authority to have a local Moraga Street Lighting Assessment District:
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code 22500- 22679) allows local governmental agencies to form assessment districts for the purpose of funding the operation and maintenance of public landscaping and lighting improvements.
Accordingly, the Town formed the District in 1979 by Resolution 28-79. The annual assessments are collected through the Contra Costa County property tax roll and assessed only on properties within the District boundary.
Formation of the District:
The Town formed the District in 1979 by Resolution 28-79 to help fund the operation, maintenance, and repair of public streetlighting and traffic signals within the District. 31 Historical Assessment Rates for the District:
Between District formation in 1979 and FY 1998-99, District assessments ranged from $0.00 to $29.00. For the subsequent ten years, between FY 1999-00 and 2009-10, assessments remained unchanged at $16.00 per year (per single-family home).
In the spring of 2010, the Town conducted the noticing and balloting procedures required by Proposition 218 and successfully received property owner approval to increase annual District assessments to an initial assessment rate of $58.00 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU), with the authorized maximum assessment escalated annually by the lesser of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 5%. A single-family home is equal to one EDU. For FY 2026-27, the authorized maximum assessment is $92.74 per EDU. Since FY 2010-11, the Town has not applied the authorized escalator and continues to levy $58.00 per EDU.
Setting the FY 2026-27 Assessment Rates for the District In order to levy and collect the District assessments for FY 2026-27, a Public Hearing must be scheduled and noticed by publication in a paper of general circulation. The required Public Hearing will take place this evening on June 24, 2026, and will allow members of the public to provide input (including objections) to the proposed assessments. Notice of this public hearing was published in the East Bay Times on June 12, 2026.
DISCUSSION
The Town has contracted with Francisco and Associates (District Engineer) to prepare the FY 2026-27 Engineer’s Report. The Engineer's Report (Attachment B) includes a map of the District boundaries (Attachment C), which encompasses approximately 4,200 parcels within the Town that pay an annual assessment for the operation and maintenance of traffic signals and 999 streetlights.
Overview of steps to set FY 2026-27 District Assessments:
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires the Town to complete the following process each year to levy and collect District assessments for the ensuing fiscal year:
1. Adopt a Resolution initiating proceedings to levy District assessments for FY 2026-27 and ordering the preparation and filing of the annual Engineer's Report for the District.
On April 22, 2026, Town Council adopted Resolution 21-2026
2. Adopt Resolutions approving the FY 2026-27 Engineer’s Report for the District and declaring the Town’s intention to levy and collect District assessments for FY 2026-27 and setting a Public Hearing date for June 24, 2026.
On May 27, 2026, Town Council adopted Resolutions 34-2026 and 33-2026
3. Conduct the Public Hearing affording all interested parties the opportunity to hear and be heard.
Item #3 is the subject of this report.
32 4. Adopt a Resolution confirming the Engineer’s Report for the District, approving the District assessments and Assessment Diagram, and ordering the levy and collection of District Assessments for FY 2026-27.
Item #4 is the subject of this report.
Upon completing the process outlined above, the Town must submit the District assessments to the Contra Costa County Auditor’s office by August 10, 2026, for inclusion on the upcoming FY 2026-27 property tax roll.
Proposed FY 2026-27 Assessment Rates for the District
The Engineer’s Report identifies an authorized maximum assessment of $92.74 per EDU for FY 2026-27 based on the voter-approved annual CPI escalator. Staff recommends continuing to levy the current assessment rate of $58.00 per EDU for FY 2026-27, and not applying the authorized CPI adjustment this year, to fund the construction, maintenance, and servicing of existing and future public street lighting and traffic signal facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT
FY 2026-27 Revenues:
The table below provides a summary of the District’s estimated revenues for FY 2026-27:
Revenue Descriptions Amount
District Property
Assessments
$199,545
Town Contribution from Fund
140
$40,212
Interest Earnings $12,000
Totals: $251,757
FY 2026-27 Expenditures:
The table below provides a summary of the District’s estimated expenditures for FY 2026-27:
Expenditure Descriptions Amount
Contract Services $24,750
Utilities $190,000
Maintenance of Traffic
Signals
$55,000
Staff Time/Labor Costs $5,000
Membership and Dues $945
Advertisement and Legal $400
Totals: $276,095
33 Although expenditures for FY 2026-27 are expected to exceed revenues due to rising utility, operations, and maintenance costs, the Town is in the process of coordinating with Pacific Gas and Electric to convert existing high-pressure sodium vapor (HPSV) lamps to energyefficient Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lamps during FY 2026-27 in the Moraga Country Club neighborhood and along Alta Mesa from Paseo Bernal to the end of the public roadway. These street lighting upgrades will be completed at no cost to the Town and will provide improved illumination and reduced energy consumption for these areas.
Fund Balance:
The District is projected to have a beginning fund balance of approximately $541,000 as of July 1, 2026. Approximately $138,000 is set aside for District operating costs incurred between July 1 and December 10, prior to the first installment of District assessment revenue being received from the County. The remaining fund balance is accumulated for future street lighting, traffic signal repair/replacement, and capital improvement needs.
The estimated FY 2026-27 expenditures exceed anticipated revenues by approximately $24,300, resulting in an estimated ending fund balance of approximately $517,000 as of June 30, 2027. Should annual expenditures continue to exceed revenues, staff will evaluate operating costs, reserve needs, and future streetlight and traffic signal repair/replacement obligations to determine whether an assessment rate increase should be considered in a subsequent fiscal year.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
The Resolution confirming the District Engineer’s Report, approving assessments, approving the Assessment diagram, and ordering the levy and collection of District Assessments for FY 2026-27 is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal.
Code Regs. 3 §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Modify the proposed resolution.
2. Do not adopt the proposed resolution and provide direction to staff.
NEXT STEPS
The Town Clerk will immediately file the Engineer's Report, including the assessment and Diagram, with the County Auditor.

FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 INTRODUCTION

SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Background
Prior to 1979, the operation and maintenance of public streetlighting and traffic signals in the Town of Moraga (“Town”) was paid for with revenue generated by the Town of Moraga Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1, a property tax-based district formed in 1974.
Proposition 13, a statewide initiative passed by voters in 1978, limited total property taxes to 1% of the value of property and substantially reduced the ongoing revenue the Town could receive for streetlighting and traffic signals. The reduced revenue was insufficient to pay electricity and maintenance costs and the Town was faced with the prospect of turning off and removing streetlights or finding another source of revenue.
On May 30, 1979, the Town adopted Resolution No. 28-79 forming Assessment District No. 1979-1, Town of Moraga Street Lighting (“District”), pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”) to provide supplemental revenue necessary to operate and maintain the Town’s streetlighting and traffic signals. From 1979 through 2010, the cost of operation and maintenance of public streetlighting and traffic signals in the Town was funded using revenue generated from property taxes and the District.
In 2010, the Town determined that District assessments should be increased to pay for operation and maintenance costs associated with public streetlighting and traffic signals.
Since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, increasing District assessments requires preparing an Engineer’s Report, quantifying and segregating the general benefit attributed to the public at large versus special benefit to property, and obtaining approval from the affected property owners through noticing and balloting proceedings. The Town cannot proceed with an assessment increase if a majority of the ballots returned, weighted by proposed assessment, oppose the assessment increase.
Prior to Fiscal Year 2010-11, the Town conducted the noticing and balloting procedures required by Proposition 218 and successfully received property owner approval to increase annual District assessments. District property owners approved a maximum assessment of $58.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU), commencing with Fiscal Year 2010-11, that could be escalated annually by the lesser of the change in the Consumer Price Index or 5%. A single-family home is equal to one (1) EDU.
On June 9, 2010, Town Council adopted Resolution No. 50-2010 affirming the increase in assessments and requiring the Town to make annual contributions to offset the general benefit to the public at large and special benefits assigned to non-District parcels as described in the Engineer’s Report. The Town has levied District assessments at the increased rate of $58.00 per EDU since Fiscal Year 2010-11 to fund the operations and maintenance of public streetlighting and traffic signals. The District presently includes approximately two thirds (2/3) of the total parcels in the Town. 41 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1979-1 SECTION I

Current Administration
As required by the Act, Town Council has followed a multi-step Council meeting process each year to approve the levy of assessments on parcels within the District. The annual process includes the preparation and approval of an annual Engineer’s Report and holding a public hearing.
Francisco and Associates has prepared the required Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-27 (“Report”). This Report describes the improvements to be constructed, operated, maintained, and serviced by the District for Fiscal Year 2026-27; provides an estimated budget for the District; provides a diagram of the District boundaries; describes the method of apportionment of assessment; and lists the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The Town Council will hold a Public Hearing on June 24, 2026, to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Town Council may adopt a resolution confirming the levy of assessments. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final Assessor’s Roll for the District will be prepared and filed with the Contra Costa County (“County”) Auditor’s Office for inclusion on the Fiscal Year 2026-27 property tax roll.
Payment of the District assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the District must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

PART D
METHOD OF APORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
The Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by public agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance, and servicing of streetlighting and traffic signals.
Section 22573 of the Act requires that assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
As a benefit-based assessment, parcels receiving benefit from improvements maintained by the District are subject to the assessment and will not be exempted as long as benefit is received. Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. General benefits to the public at large must be quantified and separated from the special benefits conferred to property and are not assessable to properties within the District.
Special Benefit Determination
The streetlighting and traffic signal District improvements provides the following special and direct benefit to properties within the District:
• Enhanced desirability of property through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
• Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties including abatement of graffiti.
• Improved traffic circulation and reduced accidents and personal property loss. • Increased nighttime visibility resulting in enhanced safety on roads and in public areas.
LCC Engineering and Surveying, Inc. was the Assessment Engineer that assisted the Town in forming the District in 1979 and conducting the subsequent Proposition 218 proceedings in 2010. The Engineer’s Report prepared in conjunction with the Proposition 218 proceedings conducted in 2010 established the Assessment Methodology for the District as provided in this Report and separated the special benefits from District improvements into the following two components: “Frontage Special Benefits” and “Arterial/Collector Special Benefits”.
48 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1979-1 SECTION II
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 PART D
-9-
Frontage Special Benefit Component
Due to proximity, streetlights located along the frontage of property provide a special and direct benefit to those adjacent individual properties consisting of enhanced aesthetics and safety. Safety benefits include improved ingress/egress and crime deterrence for the adjacent individual properties. Streetlights located on residential streets in the Town are typically spaced 200 feet apart. Therefore, each residential streetlight provides 100 feet of lighted frontage on each side, regardless of the side of the street the streetlight is located on. Each residential streetlight is assumed to provide approximately 100 feet of enhanced lighted frontage to each detached single-family home. The Frontage Special Benefit Component for residential and non-residential parcels is calculated based on the 100 feet of lighted frontage provided to detached single-family homes as described in the Assessment Methodology section of this Report below.
Arterial/Collector Special Benefit Component
Town arterial and collector roadways provide reliable access to all areas of the Town and therefore confer a special and direct benefit to all properties within Town limits. Streetlights and traffic signals located along the Town’s arterial and collector roadways provide improved traffic circulation and increased nighttime visibility resulting in enhanced safety to all residents in the Town. Therefore, streetlights and traffic signals located along the Town’s arterial and collector roadways provide a special and direct benefit to all properties in the Town, including parcels not located within District boundaries. Streetlights located along the Town’s arterial and collector roadways require higher wattage lamps and have additional maintenance requirements as compared to residential streetlights.
Assessment Methodology
The significant majority of parcels in the District are detached single-family residential (SFR) parcels. Therefore, the special benefit received by a detached SFR parcel is identified as an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) and used as the basis to apportion the special benefits to all parcels in the Town.
An EDU is comprised of the sum of the Frontage Special Benefit Component (EDUF) and the Arterial/Collector Special Benefit Component (EDUA). EDUF is calculated by dividing a parcel’s Lighted Frontage based on residential streetlight standards described above (LF) by 100 feet, which is the lighted frontage received by a typical SFR. For residential parcels, EDUA is calculated using the number of Residential Units (RU) for the parcel. For non-residential parcels, RU is calculated by dividing a parcel’s LF by 100 feet. Street lighting corresponding to the Frontage Special Benefit Component represents 89% of the District’s total streetlighting cost. The additional cost corresponding to the Arterial/Collector Special Benefit Component represents the remaining 11%. Therefore, EDUF and EDUA are weighted accordingly to determine the EDUs for each parcel using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝑠 = 𝐸𝐷𝑈𝐹 + 𝐸𝐷𝑈𝐴 = (89% ×
𝐿𝐹
100) + (11% × 𝑅𝑈)
The EDU calculation for each land use classification is further described below. 49 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1979-1 SECTION II
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 PART D
-10-
Single-Family Residential
Streetlights located on residential streets in the Town are typically spaced 200 feet apart.
Therefore, each residential streetlight provides 100 feet of lighted frontage on each side, regardless of the side of the street the streetlight is located on. Each residential streetlight is assumed to provide approximately 100 feet of enhanced lighted frontage to each detached single-family home. Additionally, each SFR parcel has 1 residential unit.
Therefore, each SFR is determined to equal 1.00 EDU using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝑆𝐹𝑅 = (89% ×
100
100) + (11% × 1) = 0.89 + 0.11 = 1.00
Condominiums and Townhouses
Condominiums and Townhouses (CONDO) parcels have less lighted frontage than a typical SFR parcel. A study analyzing the lighted frontage of condominium parcels was conducted and found the average lighted frontage per residential unit for all the various CONDO developments within the District is 28 feet. Typically, these developments also have private street lighting within the development maintained by the homeowner’s association. Additionally, each CONDO parcel has 1 residential unit. Therefore, each CONDO is determined to equal 0.36 EDUs using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝐶𝑂𝑁𝐷𝑂 = (89% ×
28 100) + (11% × 1) = 0.25 + 0.11 = 0.36
Multi-Family Residential
The lighted frontage for Multi-Family Residential (MFR) parcels varies significantly.
Therefore, MFR parcels are not determined to have an average frontage per residential unit as CONDOs do. Therefore, EDUs for each MFR parcel is calculated based on the lighted frontage and number of residential units for the parcel using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝑀𝐹𝑅 = (89% ×
𝐿𝐹
100) + (11% × 𝑅𝑈)
Commercial
Commercial (COM) parcels within the Town generally provide and pay for their own private street lighting and this lighting is also of benefit to adjacent parcels. EDUA for a COM parcel is also calculated based on the parcel’s LF divided by the lighted frontage for an SFR parcel of 100 feet. Therefore, EDUs for each COM parcel is calculated based on the lighted frontage for the parcel using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝐶𝑂𝑀 = (89% ×
𝐿𝐹
100) + (11% ×
𝐿𝐹
100) = 0.01 × 𝐿𝐹
Institutional
Public agencies and non-profit parcels also benefit from street lighting. These institutional (INST) parcels function similar to COM parcels in that they provide a service, therefore, the benefit received is similar to COM parcels. However, because they are not transferred as freely in the marketplace, INST parcel benefit less than privately owned parcels. It is then reasonable to assume that the benefit is half that received by similar private COM 50 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1979-1 SECTION II
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 PART D
-11-
parcels. Therefore, EDUs for each INST parcel is calculated based on the lighted frontage for the parcel using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝐼𝑁𝑆𝑇 =
0.01 × 𝐿𝐹
2 = .005 × 𝐿𝐹
Vacant and Unimproved
Vacant and unimproved parcels benefit from street lighting as they improve the safety and marketability of the parcel. It is assumed the benefit a Vacant parcel receives is half that received by a developed COM parcel. Therefore, EDUs for each vacant and unimproved parcel is calculated based on the lighted frontage for the parcel using the following formula:
𝐸𝐷𝑈𝑉𝑎𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑡 =
0.01 × 𝐿𝐹
2 = .005 × 𝐿𝐹
Exempt
Exempted from the District assessments are parks, streets, avenues, lanes, roads, drives, courts, alleys, easements and rights-of-ways, greenbelts and parkways, and public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial and institutional activities.
General Benefit Determination
Arterial/Collector roadways in the Town provide a General Benefit to the public at large that is attributed to traffic traversing the Town with an origin and destination outside the Town. This general benefit is minimal and is conservatively assumed to be 5% of the street lighting and traffic signal costs attributed to the Arterial/Collector Special Benefit Component.
Town Contributions for Special Benefit and General Benefit The Town pays the portion of District costs attributed to the Frontage Special Benefit Component and Arterial/Collector Special Benefit Component for all parcels in the Town and not within the District plus the General Benefit to the public at large. The Town contribution for traffic signals is based on the percentage of Arterial/Collector Special Benefit that exists in the Town and not within the District.
Maximum and Applied Assessment Rates for Fiscal Year 2026-27 The maximum assessment rate for the District is authorized to be escalated annually by the lesser of the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%. The San FranciscoOakland-Hayward All Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index from December to December as published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics is used to calculate the annual changed in the CPI. The latest annual change in CPI is 3.036%, which results in a maximum District assessment rate of $92.74 per EDU for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the Town is proposing to levy the same assessment rate of $58.00 per EDU that has been levied since Fiscal Year 2010-11. A summary of the maximum and applied District assessment rates since Fiscal Year 2010-11 is shown in the table on the following page.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Cassius Carandang, Assistant Planner, Sonia Urzua, Planning Director Subject: Consideration of Amendments to Chapter 8.124, Accessory Dwelling Units of Title 8 (Planning and Zoning) of the Moraga Municipal Code.
Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 8.124 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of the Moraga Municipal Code to ensure consistency with current State ADU law, the Moraga 2040 General Plan, and the 2023–2031 Housing Element.
BACKGROUND
The Town of Moraga’s current Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) regulations are codified in Chapter 8.124 of the Moraga Municipal Code (MMC), last comprehensively updated by Ordinance No. 296 in April 2021. Since then, the California Legislature has enacted numerous amendments to State ADU Law (Gov. Code §§ 66310– 66342, formerly Gov. Code § 65852.2), and HCD has issued updated guidance in its 2026 ADU Handbook.
On February 27, 2026, HCD issued a Letter of Technical Assistance to the Town stating that the 2021 ordinance is likely outdated and out of compliance with State ADU Law. The letter identified changes to ADU Law adopted in 2023, 2024, and 2025, along with clarifications in the 2025 ADU Handbook, that warrant amendments to Chapter 8.124. Under the State Government Code Section 66316, a local ordinance that fails to meet State ADU Law is rendered “null and void,” and the local agency must apply only State ADU Law until a compliant ordinance is adopted. As of April 6, 2026, the Town has been applying the State ADU law when processing ADU and JADU applications.
The proposed amendments are necessary to (i) restore the Town’s legal authority to administer a local ADU ordinance, (ii) provide clarity to property owners and applicants, and (iii) advance the housing production goals of the Town’s adopted Housing Element and Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
55 June 2, 2026, Planning Commission Hearing
Prior to the June 2, 2026, Planning Commission hearing, the Town received a public comment letter (Attachment D) identifying two provisions in the Development standards for streamlined ADUs and JADUs that were inconsistent with State law: (1) owner occupancy requirements for JADUs (MMC Section 8.124.120.B.2) and (2) front yard setback requirements for streamlined ADUs (MMC Sections 8.124.120.C.2 and 8.124.120.D.2). In response, staff revised both provisions to clarify that owner occupancy is required only for JADUs that share sanitation facilities with the primary dwelling and to remove front yard setback requirements for streamlined ADUs, consistent with Government Code Section 66323. These revisions were included in a supplemental staff report, which was added to the already published Planning Commission agenda materials and distributed to the Planning Commission prior to the public hearing.
On June 2, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance amendment. During its consideration, the Commission discussed future amendments to the local objective design standards for standard ADUs under MMC Section 8.124.140.
Commissioners also expressed concerns about removing front-yard setback requirements for streamlined ADUs, as required by State law.
Following discussion, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 04-2026, incorporating the revisions in the supplemental staff report, and recommended Town Council approval by a vote of 4 in favor and 2 opposed, with one Commissioner absent. Planning Commission Resolution No. 04-2026 is included as Attachment C. The Planning Commission Staff Report, including the original proposed ordinance amendment (clean and redlined versions) and the supplemental staff report, can be found on the Planning Commission Meeting Agenda dated June 2, 2026, under item 6A.
DISCUSSION
The proposed redline revisions to Chapter 8.124 are organized below into thirteen groupings of substantive changes. The groupings have been enumerated for ease of reference. Each grouping identifies the change, the supporting Government Code provision, and, where applicable, the specific subsection of Chapter 8.124 that is amended. Non-substantive conforming edits (renumbering, cross-references, and typographical corrections) are also incorporated throughout. As background, the Town allows for three types of ADUs: (1) Streamlined ADUs and JADUs, which are processed ministerially and must be approved if they meet minimal state requirements; (2) Standard ADUs, which are processed ministerially and do not meet state requirements and are thus subject to objective Town standards; and (3) ADUs that do not qualify for either Streamlined or Standard ADU processing and may be allowed with a Conditional Use Permit.
1. “Interior Livable Space” Definition (MMC § 8.124.020) State law was amended to tie ADU and JADU square-footage caps to “interior livable space,” defined as “a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.” (Gov. Code § 66313, et seq.) The redlined ordinance replaces the prior term “interior living area” with “interior livable space,” adds the statutory definition, and conforms every size-based standard throughout Articles 2, 3, and 5 to the new metric. 56 2. JADU Definition and Owner-Occupancy (MMC §§ 8.124.020, 8.124.200) The Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) definition is updated to align with Government Code Section 66333(b). Owner-occupancy is required only when the JADU shares sanitation facilities with the primary structure; if the JADU has separate sanitation facilities, no owneroccupancy is required. The owner-occupancy requirement does not apply if the property is owned by a governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization. Article 5 (Deed Restriction) is revised to mirror this approach.
3. “Business Day” Definition (MMC § 8.124.020)
State law pegs the timelines for ADU and JADU completeness and appeal to “business days.” (Gov. Code §§ 66317 [ADUs], 66335 [JADUs].) A definition is added providing that a “business day” means any day Moraga Town Hall is open for business to the public, ensuring administrative clarity for both staff and applicants.
4. Impact Fees (MMC § 8.124.070)
Section 8.124.070 is revised to conform to Government Code Section 66311.5(a)–(d). No impact fee may be charged for an ADU with 750 square feet or less of interior livable space or for a JADU with 500 square feet or less of interior livable space. Any impact fee on a larger ADU must be charged proportionally to the interior livable space of the primary dwelling unit.
The definition of “impact fee” is clarified to exclude connection fees and capacity charges of a local agency, special district, or water corporation.
5. General Requirements (MMC § 8.124.080)
Section 8.124.080 is restructured to apply uniformly to both ADUs and JADUs, tracking the language of Government Code Section 66323 and addressing the specific deficiencies identified in HCD’s February 27, 2026 letter. Notable changes include:
Fire sprinklers are not required for an ADU or JADU if not required for the primary residence, and the addition of an ADU or JADU cannot trigger a sprinkler requirement in the existing primary or multifamily dwelling.
Deed restrictions are required only for JADUs (consistent with the prohibition on deed restrictions for ADUs under Gov. Code § 66315).
No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term of 30 consecutive days or less (Gov. Code § 66333(g) and MMC 8.124.080(F))
6. ADU and JADU Procedures (New MMC § 8.124.090)
A consolidated procedural section governs both Streamlined ADUs/JADUs (Article 2) and Standard ADUs (Article 3). Key process changes include:
Completeness Review. Within fifteen (15) business days after receiving an application, the Planning Director must determine whether the application is complete and provide written notice. If incomplete, the notice must include a full list of incomplete items and a description of how the application can be made complete. If no determination is made within 15 business 57 days, the application is deemed complete. (Gov. Code § 66317(a)(2)(A)–(B).) Approval or Denial. Within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of a complete application, the Planning Director must approve or deny the application ministerially (Gov. Code §66317(a) (3)). The 60-day period runs from the date of receipt of the complete application, not the date of the completeness determination. If denied, the applicant must receive a full written set of comments identifying deficiencies and how to remedy them (Gov. Code §66317(b)). If no action is taken within 60 days, the application is deemed approved. (Gov. Code §66317(a)(3)).
Appeal Right. If an application is deemed incomplete or denied, the applicant may appeal in writing to the Planning Commission in accordance with Moraga Municipal Code Chapter 8.12, Article 4. The Town must provide a final written determination no later than sixty (60) business days after receipt of the appeal (Gov. Code § 66317(d)(2)). Staff notes that State law allows the Town to designate the appeal body as the governing body, the Planning Commission, or both. The redlined ordinance designates the Planning Commission.
7. Amnesty for Unpermitted ADUs (New MMC § 8.124.110)
A new amnesty section is added pursuant to Government Code Section 66311.7 (formerly § 66332). The Town shall not deny a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU constructed before January 1, 2020 for building code violations or for noncompliance with State ADU law or local ordinance, unless the Town makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants, or that the building is substandard under Health and Safety Code Section 17920.3.
8. Streamlined (Gov. Code § 66323) ADUs (MMC § 8.124.120) Section 8.124.120 is revised to align with Government Code Section 66323. The crossreference to former § 65852.2(e) is updated, and the phrase “or any combination thereof” is added to clarify that the enumerated streamlined ADU types may be combined on a single lot.
Staff notes that HCD has issued recent interpretive guidance on the number of ADUs allowed on a lot. The redlined ordinance does not expressly adopt all of those interpretations but is drafted to remain defensible while preserving local flexibility.
9. Multifamily ADUs (MMC § 8.124.120.D)
A new subsection conforming to the caps in Government Code Section 66323 is added. On a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, up to eight (8) detached ADUs are permitted, provided the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot. On a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling, no more than two (2) detached ADUs are permitted.
10. Setbacks (MMC § 8.124.130.D)
The setback standard is amended to incorporate Government Code Section 66314. No setback shall be required for an existing living area or accessory structure, or for a structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions (including height) as an existing structure that is converted to an ADU or to a portion of an ADU. Side and rear setbacks of four (4) feet remain applicable to new construction.
58 11. Height Standards (MMC § 8.124.130.E)
Height limits for standard attached and detached ADUs are updated to align with Government Code Section 66321, as follows:
Detached ADUs on a lot with a single-family or multifamily dwelling: sixteen (16) feet.
Detached ADUs near transit (within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor): eighteen (18) feet, plus an additional two (2) feet to accommodate a roof pitch matching the primary dwelling.
Detached ADUs on multifamily, multistory lots: eighteen (18) feet.
Attached ADUs: twenty-five (25) feet, or the height limitation in the local zoning ordinance applicable to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower; not to exceed two stories.
Skirt walls (if any) are included in the maximum height measurement.
12. Parking (MMC § 8.124.130.K)
Parking standards are revised to align with Government Code Section 66322. Notable changes:
No additional parking is required for a JADU, including when the JADU is converted from an attached garage (Gov. Code § 66334(a)).
Uncovered, off-street parking spaces demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU do not need to be replaced (Gov. Code § 66314(d)(11)).
A new parking exemption is added where the ADU permit application is submitted concurrently with an application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the same lot (Gov.
Code § 66322(a)(6)).
13. Deed Restriction (MMC Article 5, §§ 8.124.190–8.124.200) Article 5 is revised to apply only to JADUs, consistent with Government Code Sections 66315 (which prohibits deed restrictions on ADUs) and 66333. The required deed restriction addresses: (a) the JADU may not be sold separately from the primary unit; (b) owneroccupancy when the JADU shares sanitation facilities; (c) the JADU's conformance with the size and attribute requirements of this chapter and State law; and (d) the restriction's binding effect on successors in ownership. Provisions imposing rental-term and owner-occupancy obligations on ADUs are deleted as preempted. It is noted that language previously included in the ADU/JADU deed restrictions regarding rental terms is now codified under MMC Section
8.124.080.
Other Conforming Edits
In addition to the fourteen groupings above, the redlined ordinance: (i) deletes the prior “administrative adjustment” provisions in former Section 8.124.170, which staff has determined are no longer necessary given the updated ministerial framework; (ii) renumbers 59 sections throughout Articles 1 through 5 to reflect insertions and deletions; and (iii) updates internal cross-references accordingly. The objective design standards in Section 8.124.140 and the discretionary review provisions in Article 4 are retained substantively without change.
For ease of administration, a single consolidated procedures section is located in Article 1 rather than being repeated in Articles 2 and 3. The redlined ordinance accomplishes this consolidation through new Section 8.124.090.
General Plan and Housing Element Consistency
The proposed ordinance aligns with Moraga 2040 General Plan Policy LU-3.7, Accessory Dwelling Units, which calls for ministerial approval of ADUs that meet adopted standards in zones where residential uses are permitted. The amendments implement this policy by maintaining a local ADU ordinance that reflects current State law and provides objective standards for qualifying ADUs and JADUs.
The amendments also support the Housing Element’s broader objectives of housing mobility, affordability, and new housing choices in high-resource neighborhoods. By updating Chapter
8.124, the Town can continue to facilitate ADU and JADU production while providing clearer guidance to applicants and staff.
Required Findings
Staff recommends that the Town Council find that the required Municipal Code findings for a zoning text amendment can be made as follows:
General Plan consistency: The amendments are consistent with the General Plan's objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs because they implement Policy LU-3.7 and Housing Element Program ADU 16 by maintaining a compliant ministerial approval process for ADUs and JADUs.
Compatibility with authorized uses and zoning regulations: ADUs and JADUs are accessory residential uses allowed where residential uses are permitted. The amendments update the procedures and standards for those uses without altering the underlying residential land use framework.
Community need: The amendments address a demonstrated community and statewide need for additional housing options and are necessary to maintain a compliant, enforceable local ADU ordinance.
Public convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice: Adoption of the amendments promotes orderly administration of the Municipal Code, provides clearer guidance to applicants and staff, maintains local standards where legally permitted, and aligns the ordinance with current State law.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The administrative costs will continue to be recovered through the existing ADU application deposit. ADUs exceeding 750 square feet of interior floor area will remain subject to Development Impact Fees in accordance with the Town's Master Fee Schedule. 60 CEQA COMPLIANCE
The ADU ordinance amendment is exempt from CEQA's provisions (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h), which exempts the adoption of local ordinances for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
ALTERNATIVES
1. Introduce the prepared ordinance, or;
2. Do not introduce the prepared ordinance and provide staff direction.
NEXT STEPS
If the Town Council introduces the ordinance at the first reading, the ordinance will be scheduled for a second reading and adoption at a subsequent Town Council meeting. The ordinance will become effective 30 days after adoption at second reading.
Following adoption, the Town will submit the final ordinance to HCD within 60 days, update public-facing application materials and internal review checklists and continue to process ADU and JADU applications consistent with State law and the amended ordinance.

TOWN OF MORAGA
TOWN COUNCIL
ORDINANCE NO. XX-2026
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 8.124, Accessory Dwelling Units, of Title 8 (Planning and Zoning) of the Moraga Municipal Code (MMC) WHEREAS, Town staff determined that the current Moraga Municipal Code (MMC) Chapter 8.124, Accessory Dwelling Units, required amendments to ensure compliance with State Law regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and has prepared a draft Ordinance amending MMC Chapter 8.124 to bring the code into compliance with State Law; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Moraga 2040 General Plan and 2023–2031 Housing Element include policies and programs that support the creation of affordable housing, and a diverse range of housing types, and implementation actions, including amending the Town’s accessory dwelling unit regulations to ensure ministerial approval procedures are consistent with State law, and facilitating ADU production, compliance, and tracking throughout the Town; and
WHEREAS, on June 2, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed municipal code amendments related to ADUs, received the staff report and staff presentation, received comments from the public and interested parties, and discussed the matter; and
WHEREAS, the Moraga Planning Commission voted at its regular meeting on June 2, 2026, to adopt a resolution recommending that the Town Council approve the proposed ordinance amendment, including the revisions contained in the supplemental staff report dated June 2, 2026; and
WHEREAS, all required public notices for the June 24, 2026, Town Council public hearing on the proposed ordinance were published in the East Bay Times in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65090 and 65096.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Town Council of the Town of Moraga that:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the ADU ordinance amendment is exempt from the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h), which exempts the adoption of local ordinance for ADUs and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
Attachment A
62
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Moraga Municipal Code Section 8.12.100, the Town Council hereby makes the following findings:
(a) The proposed Amendments to the Municipal Code are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan. The proposed code amendments will maintain the Town’s local development standard in compliance with State ADU Law and support the development of a diverse range of housing types within Moraga. They also implement General Plan policies that allow for the ministerial approval of ADUs and JADUs. In addition, the Housing Element includes programs and actions aimed at streamlining ADU approvals, and compliance with State ADU Law further advances those objectives. (b) In the case of a general land use regulation, the change proposed is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district for which it is proposed. The proposed ordinance would maintain the Town’s local development standards for ADUs and JADUs in compliance with State ADU Law, providing a streamlined permitting process and procedures for the development of ADUs, which are permitted accessory residential uses in all zoning districts that allow residential development.
(c) A community need is demonstrated for the proposed change. The municipal code amendments would allow the Town to continue enforcing local development standards in compliance with State ADU Law facilitating the production of housing, which is urgently needed at the local and regional levels. ADUs can provide lower-cost housing opportunities for extended family members, young adults, students, seniors, caregivers, and other small households, while also providing an additional source of income for property owners.
(d) Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. Adoption of the proposed amendments will promote public convenience and general welfare, allowing the Town to continue enforcing local development standards in compliance with State ADU Law. State Law requires a ministerial approval process for streamlined ADUs and JADUs, with specified objective standards, and local standards provided in this ordinance. Additionally, updating the municipal code to align with General Plan policies, Housing Element programs, and current State ADU Law represents sound planning and zoning practice.
SECTION 3: AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 8.124 (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS) Chapter 8.124 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of the Moraga Municipal Code is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Article 1. General Provisions
63
8.124.010 Purpose.
This chapter provides for the creation of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) in the town as required by state law, and in accordance with the Town's General Plan and Housing Element as a means to provide a variety of housing types to meet the town's projected housing needs. This chapter provides for the ministerial approval of ADUs and JADUs in areas zoned to allow residential uses. The Town encourages ministerial review of ADUs and JADUs when possible. This Ordinance also provides procedures and standards for review of accessory dwelling units that do not meet the ministerial requirements as set forth herein that are intended to increase opportunities for ADUs to be developed within the Town.
8.124.020 Definitions.
"Accessory dwelling unit," or "ADU," means a residential dwelling unit attached or detached from a primary unit, or entirely enclosed within an existing building, which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons.

"Attached ADU" means an ADU that does not qualify as a fully contained ADU and that is located at least partially within a newly constructed expansion of, or addition to, an existing primary unit.
"Detached ADU" means an ADU that does not qualify as a fully contained ADU and that is located at least partially within new construction that is part of a physical structure which is detached from the primary unit. More specifically, a detached ADU is located within a newly and legally constructed separate accessory building, or a newly constructed expansion of, or addition to, a pre-existing legally constructed separate accessory building.
"Primary unit" or "primary residence" means a single-family or multifamily residential dwelling unit that either exists on or is proposed for a lot zoned for any residential or mixed-use zone, either through a permitted use or a conditional use, and is constructed prior to or concurrently to the ADU or JADU. 64
"Fully contained ADU" means an ADU which is established entirely within the preexisting building envelope of either (i) a primary unit, a multifamily building, or (ii) any other pre-existing, legally constructed building located upon any lot containing a primary unit.

A junior accessory dwelling unit shall include either separate sanitation facilities, or sanitation facilities shared with the primary unit. If the JADU shares sanitation facilities with the primary structure, the property owner shall reside onsite in either the primary residence or the JADU. If the JADU has separate sanitation facilities, no owner-occupancy is required. The owner-occupancy requirement shall not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
"Multifamily building" for purposes of this Chapter 8.124 means a structure with two or more attached dwelling units on one lot.
"Outdoor living areas" means an area on the exterior of an ADU that is designed for human use or habitation including, but not limited to, a patio, deck, balcony or yard that can accommodate appurtenances including, but not limited to, a barbecue pit, an outdoor dining table, a hammock, a lounge chair, a bench or a spa. "Passageway" means a pathway that is unobstructed clear to the sky and extends from the street to one entrance of an ADU.
"Standard ADU" means an ADU applied for under Article 3 below "Streamlined ADU" or "JADU" means an ADU or "JADU" applied for under Article 2 below.
"Business day" means any day that Moraga Town Hall is open for business to the public.

8.124.040 Permit required.
No person shall develop, construct, cause to be rented, or occupy an ADU or JADU on any lot within the town unless a permit is obtained pursuant to the procedures and standards set forth in this chapter.
65
8.124.050 Density and use.
To the extent required by state law, an ADU or JADU built in conformance with this chapter does not count towards the allowed density for the lot upon which the ADU or JADU is located and is a residential use that is consistent with the general plan and zoning ordinance.
8.124.060 ADUs authorized as part of new construction.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the town may authorize the construction of fully contained, and attached and detached ADUs as an accessory use to a single-family dwelling in conjunction with the approval of, or an amendment to, any of the following:
A. Design review approval of a new single-family dwelling.
B. A residential subdivision pursuant to the Moraga Subdivision Ordinance and Subdivision Map Act;
C. A planned development pursuant to Chapter 8.48; and
D. A conditional use permit, including, but not limited to, a conditional use permit for a single-family dwelling or dwellings within the MOSO open space district, provided that an application for a conditional use permit, or the amendment thereof, to permit the establishment of an ADU shall be processed as set forth in Section 8.124.170.
8.124.070 Impact fees.
All ADUs and JADUs shall be subject to any applicable impact fees adopted by the town, except as provided below.
A. No impact fee is required for an ADU that has seven hundred fifty (750) square feet of interior livable space or less, or a JADU that has five hundred (500) square feet of interior livable space or less.
B. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has more than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the interior livable space of the ADU divided by the interior livable space of the primary dwelling unit, multiplied by the fee amount charged for a new dwelling.) For purposes of this section, "impact fee" has the same meaning as the term "fee" is defined in subdivision (b) of California Government Code Section 66000, except that it also includes fees specified in California Government Code Section 66477. “Impact fee” does not include any connection fee or capacity charge charged by a local agency, special district, or water corporation.
66
8.124.080 General requirements.
The following general requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs.
A. No ADU or JADU is required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence. The construction of an ADU or JADU shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling or existing multifamily dwelling.
B. No passageway shall be required in conjunction with construction of an ADU unless mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act or other state or federal safety code standard.
C. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite water-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last ten years.
D. Prior to issuance of a building permit for a JADU, a deed restriction shall be recorded against the title of the property as required in Article 5 of this chapter.

A. This section shall provide for and govern the ministerial review of applications for streamlined ADUs and JADUs under Article 2 and standard ADUs under Article 3.
B. Applications for streamlined ADUs and JADUs, and standard ADUs under this article shall be approved ministerially by the Planning Director without discretionary review, further design review, or public hearing, pursuant to the procedures set forth in this article.
C. No more than one standard attached or detached ADU shall be permitted per lot and must meet the general requirements in Section 8.124.080, the development standards in Section 8.124.130, the design standards in Section 8.124.140.
D. Procedure for Review.
(1) Within fifteen (15) business days after receiving an application, the planning director or designee shall determine whether the application is complete and provide written notice of the determination to the applicant. If the application is determined to be incomplete, the planning director shall provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and a description of how the application can be made complete. If the planning director does not make a timely determination within fifteen (15) business days, the application shall be deemed complete. 67
(2) Within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving a completed application, the planning director shall approve or deny an application through a ministerial review process and issue an ADU permit if the requirements of either Sections
8.124.080, 8.124.120, 8.124.130 and 8.124.140, as applicable, have been satisfied. If the planning director has not approved or denied the completed application within sixty (60) days, the application shall be deemed approved. If the planning director denies the application, the planning director shall return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied.
The planning director shall deny an application for an ADU if the applicable requirements have not been satisfied.
E. Courtesy Notice. Upon approval of the accessory dwelling unit permit, the planning director shall mail a courtesy notice to all owners of abutting properties, notifying them of the approval. The notice shall state that there is no right of an aggrieved party to appeal the approval.
F. Right to Appeal. If a permit application is determined to be incomplete or is denied, the applicant may appeal that decision in writing to the planning commission, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Moraga Municipal Code Chapter
8.12, Article 4. The town shall provide a final written determination not later than sixty (60) business days after receipt of the applicant’s written appeal.
G. Notwithstanding the procedures in Sections 8.124.080(A)—(F) above, an applicant for an attached or detached ADU that does not meet both the development standards of Sections 8.124.130 and the design standards of Section 8.124.140, may seek discretionary approval of an ADU in accordance with the alternative procedures set forth in Article 4 of this chapter.
8.124.100 Exemption for hillside development permit.
ADUs qualifying for ministerial approval under Articles 2 and 3 of this Chapter that are proposed on any hillside lot or area are exempt from the hillside development permit requirements described in Chapter 8.136. Non-ministerial ADUs allowed under Article 4 of this chapter, grading in addition to that necessary for excavation of the footprint of the ADU, or other attached or detached buildings or structures proposed as part of an ADU are not exempt from the hillside development permit process when applicable.
8.124.110 Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before January 1, 2020.
The town shall not deny a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, for building code violations or because the ADU or JADU does not comply with state ADU law or a local ordinance, unless the town makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure, or the building is deemed substandard pursuant to Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code.
68
Article 2. Streamlined ADUs and JADUs
8.124.120 Development standards for streamlined ADUs and JADUs.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66323, the town shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixeduse zone to create any of following types of ADUs and JADUs, or any combination thereof ("Streamlined ADUs and JADUs”), that comply with the general requirements of Section 8.124.080 and the applicable standards described in subsections A through D.

C. One detached ADU, new construction with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling that complies with the following standards:
(1) The lot on which the ADU is located has a proposed or existing singlefamily dwelling. The lot may also contain a JADU permitted pursuant to Section 8.124.120.B and a fully contained ADU permitted pursuant to Section 8.124.120.A.
(2) The side and rear setbacks are at least four feet.
(3) The total interior livable space is not more than eight hundred (800) square feet.
(4) The height does not exceed the limits set forth in 8.124.130 subdivision E.
D. Detached ADUs on a lot that has an existing or proposed multifamily building, with the following standards:
(1) On a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, up to eight (8) detached ADUs are permitted, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot or on a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling, no more than two (2) detached ADUs are permitted. (2) The side and rear setbacks are at least four feet.
(3) The height does not exceed the limits set forth in 8.124.130 subdivision E. (4) The ADUs are detached from the multifamily building. 70
Article 3. Standard ADUs
8.124.130 Development standards for standard attached and detached ADUs.
The following section applies to standard attached or detached ADUs that do not qualify as a streamlined ADU. An standard attached or detached ADU may be established upon any lot containing an existing or proposed primary unit in in any single-family residentially zoned district, planned development districts that allow singlefamily residential development, or MOSO or non-MOSO open space districts, if it complies with the following standards, as well as the general standards set forth in Section 8.124.080 and design standards set forth in Section 8.124.140:
A. Except as set forth in Section 8.124.130(C), a portion of an existing primary unit or a pre-existing legally constructed accessory building (or portion thereof) may be incorporated into an attached or detached ADU only if the side and rear setbacks and building separations are sufficient for fire safety.
B. Except as set forth in Section 8.124.130(C), any expansion of or addition to either an existing primary unit or a pre-existing legally constructed accessory building to accommodate an attached ADU or detached ADU shall meet all development standards of the zoning district in which it is located.
C. Notwithstanding any other standard set forth in this Section 8.124.130 no setback shall be required for an existing legally constructed garage that is fully or partially incorporated into an attached or detached ADU.
D. An attached or detached ADU shall have side and rear setbacks of at least four feet. Front yard setback requirements of the zoning district in which the attached or detached ADU is to be located shall apply. No setback shall be required for an existing living area or accessory structure or a structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions, including height, as an existing structure that is converted to an accessory dwelling unit or to a portion of an accessory dwelling unit.

PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 04-2026
Recommending that the Town Council Adopt Amendments to Chapter 8.124, Accessory Dwelling Units, of Title 8 (Planning and Zoning) of the Moraga Municipal Code (MMC)
WHEREAS, in February 2026, the Town received a technical assistance letter in from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) identifying changes to State Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Laws that have occurred since the Town’s last ADU ordinance update in 2021. and WHEREAS, the HCD letter stated that pursuant to California Government Code Section 66316, if a local agency’s ADU ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law, the ordinance is null and void, and the local agency must apply the standards established under State ADU Law until a compliant ordinance is adopted; and WHEREAS, Town staff determined that the current Moraga Municipal Code (MMC) Chapter 8.124, Accessory Dwelling Units, was not in compliance with State ADU Law, and to comply with the HCD technical assistance letter, has prepared a draft Ordinance amending MMC Chapter 8.124 to bring the code into compliance with State ADU Law; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Moraga 2040 General Plan and 2023–2031 Housing Element include policies and programs that support the creation of affordable housing, and a diverse range of housing types, and implementation actions, including amending the Town’s accessory dwelling unit regulations to ensure ministerial approval procedures are consistent with State law, and facilitating ADU production, compliance, and tracking throughout the Town; and
WHEREAS, required public notices for the Planning Commission hearing on the proposed zoning code amendments were provided in the East Bay Times on May 13, 2026 in compliance with Government Code Section 65854; and WHEREAS, on June 2, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed municipal code amendments related to ADUs, received the staff report and staff presentation, received comments from the public and interested parties, and discussed the matter; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the Town of Moraga that:
97
Attachment C
SECTION 1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the ADU ordinance amendment is exempt from the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.), pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h), which exempts the adoption of local ordinance for ADUs and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Moraga Municipal Code Section 8.12.100, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings:
(a) The proposed Amendments to the Municipal Code are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan. The proposed code amendments will maintain the Town’s local development standard in compliance with State ADU Law and support the development of a diverse range of housing types within Moraga. They also implement General Plan policies that allow for the ministerial approval of ADUs and JADUs. In addition, the Housing Element includes programs and actions aimed at streamlining ADU approvals, and compliance with State ADU Law further advances those objectives. (b) In the case of a general land use regulation, the change proposed is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district for which it is proposed. The proposed ordinance would maintain the Town’s local development standards for ADUs and JADUs in compliance with State ADU Law, providing a streamlined permitting process and procedures for the development of ADUs, which are permitted accessory residential uses in all zoning districts that allow residential development.
(c) A community need is demonstrated for the proposed change. The municipal code amendments would allow the Town to continue enforcing local development standards in compliance with State ADU Law facilitating the production of housing, which is urgently needed at the local and regional levels. ADUs can provide lower-cost housing opportunities for extended family members, young adults, students, seniors, caregivers, and other small households, while also providing an additional source of income for property owners.
(d) Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. Adoption of the proposed amendments will promote public convenience and general welfare, allowing the Town to continue enforcing local development standards in compliance with State ADU Law. State Law requires a ministerial approval process for streamlined ADUs and JADUs, with specified objective standards, and local standards provided in this ordinance. Additionally, updating the municipal code to align with General Plan policies, Housing Element programs, and current State ADU Law represents sound planning and zoning practice.
SECTION 3: The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the Town Council of the Town of Moraga adopt the Ordinance shown in Exhibit “A,” which is included by 98

J. No historic tree shall be removed for the purpose of establishing an ADU.
Native or orchard trees may be removed to provide for the location of an ADU, with a requirement that one 15-gallon tree of the same genus and species be planted on site per tree removed. The requirement to replant a native or orchard tree may be waived if the planning director determines that there is no appropriate location on site to plant a tree. Trees are defined in Moraga Municipal Code Section 12.12.020.
K. In addition to parking required for the primary unit, one off-street parking space measuring at least nine feet by nineteen (19) feet and not more than seventeen (17) feet by nineteen (19) feet, which may be open or covered, shall be provided for an attached or detached ADU, subject to the following requirements:
(1) The parking space for the attached or detached ADU shall be located adjacent to the parking spaces for the primary unit, and shall not be accessed by means of a driveway separate from that which accesses required parking spaces for the primary residence, unless such access is specifically authorized by the Moraga Municipal Code.

C. The interior livable space of an attached or detached ADU shall be at least one hundred fifty (150) square feet and shall not exceed 1,200 square feet. The square footage of an attached ADU shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the pre-existing interior livable space of the primary unit, calculated before the addition of the attached ADU.
111
D. The square footage of an attached ADU shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the pre-existing interior livable space of the existing primary unit, calculated before the addition of the attached ADU, except that the foregoing limitation shall not restrict an attached ADU to less than eight hundred (800) square feet of interior livable space.
E. The ADU will comply with all of the required setbacks of the applicable zoning district.
F. The owner of the property upon which the ADU is located will occupy either the primary unit or the ADU, unless the applicant establishes by substantial evidence to the satisfaction of the planning director that strict application of the requirement on a temporary basis would constitute a hardship warranting an exemption to this requirement.
G. At least one dedicated off-street parking space for the ADU, which may be covered, uncovered, or provided as tandem parking, will be provided, except that no off-street parking space is required when one of the circumstances described in Section 8.124.130(K)(4) would apply,
H. The ADU complies to the extent practicable with the standards set forth in Sections 8.124.130 and 8.124.140.
I. Provisions have been made for a deed restriction as provided in Article 5 of this chapter to be recorded against the property.
8.124.180 Design review procedures.
An attached or detached ADU that does not comply with the design standards set forth in Section 8.124.140 shall be reviewed pursuant to the procedures, and approved or denied pursuant to the standards, set forth in Moraga Municipal Code Chapter 8.72, the planning commission shall be the review body for design review approval following the procedure for review specified in Section 8.72.030(D) or Section 8.72.090, as applicable.
Article 5. Deed Restriction
8.124.190 Applicability.
The requirements of this Article 5 shall apply to JADUs only:
A. JADUs approved under Article 2.
112
8.124.200 Requirements.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for a JADU, the property owner shall record in the office of the Contra Costa County Recorder a deed restriction setting forth the following requirements, in a form satisfactory to the planning director and the town attorney:
A. The primary unit and the JADU established on the same lot may not be sold independently of each other.
B. If the JADU shares sanitation facilities with the primary structure, the owner of the property shall reside in either the primary residence or the JADU as the owner’s principal residence. If the JADU has separate sanitation facilities, no owner-occupancy is required. The owner-occupancy requirement shall not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
C. The size and attributes of the JADU shall conform with the requirements of this chapter and state law.
D. The restrictions described in this Section 8.124.200 shall be binding upon any successor in ownership of the property and lack of compliance may result in legal action against the property owner.

Town of Moraga
329 Rheem Blvd
Moraga, CA 94556
By email: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Re: Proposed Amendments to the Town’s ADU Ordinance
Dear Moraga Planning Commission,
The California Housing Defense Fund (CalHDF) submits this letter as a public comment regarding item 6a for the Planning Commission meeting of June 2, 2026, an amendment to the Town code sections governing the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs).
There are areas where the proposed ADU ordinance violates state law, and the Town must address these issues prior to passing the ordinance.
Background
The law gives local governments authority to enact zoning ordinances that implement a variety of development standards on ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66314.) The standards in these local ordinances are limited by state law so as not to overly restrict ADU development. (See id.) Separately from local ADU ordinances, Government Code section 66323 establishes a narrower set of ADU types that local governments have a ministerial duty to approve. “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322 ... a local agency shall ministerially approve” these types of ADUs. (Id. at subd. (a).) This means that ADUs that satisfy the minimal requirements of section 66323 must be approved regardless of any contrary provisions of the local ADU ordinance. (Ibid.) Local governments may not impose their own standards on such ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b) [“A local agency shall not impose any objective development or design standard that is not authorized by this section upon any accessory dwelling unit that meets the requirements of any of paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a).”].) 2201 Broadway, PH1, Oakland, CA 94612

In addition, ADUs that qualify for the protections of Government Code section 66323, like other ADUs, must be processed by local governments within 60 days of a complete permit application submittal. (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a).) State law also prohibits creating regulations on ADU development not explicitly allowed by state law. Government Code Section 66315 states, “No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner-occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer.”
Impermissible Owner Occupancy Requirement for JADUs
Proposed code section 8.124.120(B)(2) requires, “The owner of a parcel proposed for a JADU shall occupy as a principal residence either the primary unit or the JADU.” However, AB 1154 amended state ADU law so that owner-occupancy is only required if the JADU does not have its own bathroom. Government Code section 66333, subdivision (b): “...
Owner-occupancy shall not be required if the junior accessory dwelling unit has separate sanitation facilities …”
definition is updated to align with Government Code Section 66333(b). Owner-occupancy is required only when the JADU shares sanitation facilities with the primary structure …” However the City has not updated code section 8.124.120(B)(2), which still requires owner occupancy for all JADUs, including those with their own bathrooms.
The Town must amend the proposed ADU ordinance to remove this owner-occupancy requirement for JADUs if they have their own bathrooms.
Impermissible Front Setbacks
Code sections 8.124.120(C)(2) and 8.124.120(D)(2) impose front setbacks of the underlying zoning district on all new construction, detached ADUs developed pursuant to Government Code section 66323 “to the extent such setbacks do not preclude development of an ADU.” However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (b) does not permit any imposition of front setback requirements if the ADUs qualify for the protections of that section of law, as this section of state law exempts section 66323 ADUs from all local standards.. The Town therefore must allow front yard ADUs that comply with the standards in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) both on single family and on multifamily properties.
There are many policy reasons for this. For instance, a homeowner may prefer to preserve a private backyard space while redeveloping the less useful front yard. While children may 2 of 3
115
play in the backyard, the front yard is closer to the street and less safe for a variety of activities. The Town therefore must allow front yard ADUs that comply with the standards in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) both on single family and on multifamily Properties.
HCD has issued guidance under its authority in Government Code section 66327 (that guidance is located in the March 2026 HCD ADU Handbook, page 18) affirming the duty of local agencies to allow ADUs protected by Government Code section 66323 in the front setback under all circumstances. This applies whether the property is a single family home or a multifamily building. From page 19 of the Handbook: “... 66323 Units do not have to comply with lot coverage, front setbacks, and design standards.” (emphasis added) The Town must amend this ordinance to eliminate front setback requirements, for section 66323 ADUs, as is required by state law.
⧫ ⧫ ⧫
It is laudable that the Town is updating its ADU regulations as state law changes. However, the Town should make sure that its zoning code for ADUs complies with state law.

Dear Shawna Brekke-Read:
RE: City of Moraga – Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance Updates – Letter of Technical Assistance
The most recent ADU ordinance on file for the City of Moraga with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is from 2021. Given the numerous changes to State ADU Law since the adoption of the ordinance, the ordinance may be outdated and out of compliance with State ADU Law. If HCD’s records are incorrect, and a new ordinance has been adopted, please submit it to the ADU Portal for HCD’s review.
Below are the changes to State ADU Law that have occurred in recent years and may warrant an update to the City of Moraga ADU ordinance:
Updates to the ADU Handbook (2025)
• Clarifies that ADU Law prohibits deed restrictions on ADUs. A deed restriction would be an “additional standard” and thus cannot be imposed on ADUs (Gov.
Code, § 66315).
• Clarifies that homeowners’ associations (HOAs), as a third party, cannot influence the approval of an application to create an ADU. Third party reviews by an HOA or their representatives or agents would violate State ADU Law. (Gov.
Code, § 66315.) No other local ordinances, policies, or regulations may be applied in the approval or denial of an ADU or junior ADU (JADU) permit application (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (c)).
• Clarifies that a local agency may not require parking as a condition to permitting a JADU, even when the JADU is converted from an attached garage (Gov. Code, § 66334, subd. (a)).
Attachment E
117
Shawna Brekke-Read, Planning Manager
Changes to ADU Law in 2025:
• Specifies that if a JADU has shared sanitation facilities with the primary structure, owner-occupancy will be required. If the JADU does not have shared sanitation facilities, owner-occupancy will not be required (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (b)).
• Requires rental terms for JADUs for terms longer than 30 days (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (g)).
• Specifies that if a local agency fails to submit an adopted ADU ordinance to HCD within the 60-day timeline or fails to respond to HCD’s findings regarding their ordinance within the 30-day timeline, that ordinance is null and void and the local agency must only apply State ADU Law when permitting ADUs (Gov.
Code, § 66326, subd. (d)).
• Revises the definition of a “junior accessory dwelling unit” to require the size of a JADU to be no more than 500 square feet of interior livable space (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (d)).
• Revises the limitations on impact fees to, instead, prohibit impact fees upon the development of an ADU that has 750 square feet of interior livable space or less or a JADU that has 500 square feet of interior livable space or less, and to require that any impact fee on an ADU that has more than 750 square feet of interior livable space be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit (Gov. Code, § 66311.5, subds. (a) – (d)). • Requires a permitting agency to determine whether an application for an ADU or JADU is complete and provide written notice of the determination not later than 15 business days after the permitting agency received the application (Gov.
Code, § 66317, subd. (a)(2)(A)).
• Requires the permitting agency to provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and a description of how the application can be made complete in the written notice and authorizes the applicant to cure and address the application, as specified, if it is determined that an application is incomplete (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a)(2)(B)).
• Requires the permitting agency to provide a process for the applicant to appeal a denied application, as provided, and requires the permitting agency to provide a final written determination by not later than 60 business days after receipt of the written appeal if a permit application is determined to be incomplete or is denied (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (d)(1)).
• Specifies that an ADU or JADU that contains less than 500 square feet of interior livable space does not increase assessable space. • Revises size limitations to be based on the square footage of interior living space of the ADU (Gov. Code, § 66321, subds. (b)(2)(A), (b)(2)(B), and (b)(3)). 118
Shawna Brekke-Read, Planning Manager
• Specifies the number of allowable ADUs per lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a).
• Clarifies that fire sprinklers are not required for a JADU if the primary residence does not have fire sprinklers and that the addition of a JADU cannot trigger the requirement for fire sprinklers (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (d)). • Adds section 66333.5, which specifies that if a local agency fails to submit an adopted JADU ordinance to HCD within the 60-day timeline or fails to respond to HCD’s findings regarding their ordinance within the 30-day timeline, that ordinance is null and void and the local agency must only apply State ADU Law when processing applications for ADUs.
• Requires a local agency to issue a certificate of occupancy for an ADU constructed in a county that is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the Governor on or after February 1, 2025, even if the primary dwelling has not yet been issued a certificate of occupancy, if certain requirements are met, including that the primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the state of emergency proclamation (Gov. Code, § 66328).
• Creates an exception to areas that fall under the California Coastal Act by requiring a local government or the Coastal Commission, as specified, to either approve or deny a coastal development permit application for an ADU within 60 days of receiving a completed application (Gov. Code, § 66329, subd. (a).) • Specifies that no reimbursement is required for school service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service within the meaning of Government Code section 17556 (Gov. Code, § 66329). • Specifies that reasonable restrictions in covenants, restrictions, and conditions, as described in the Civil Code, shall not include any fees or other financial requirements (Civil Code, § 714.3, subd. (b)).
Changes to ADU Law in 2024:
• SB 477 (Chapter 7, Statutes of 2024) made changes to the numbering of the sections of the Government Code for State ADU and JADU Laws. • Prohibits a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, for building code violations, unless the local agency makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with conditions that would otherwise deem a building substandard (Gov.
Code, § 66332, subds. (a)-(c)).
• Defines “livable space” as a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, as the term appears in Government Code sections 66313, subdivision (e), and 66323, subdivision (a)(3)(A).
119
Shawna Brekke-Read, Planning Manager
• Provides that uncovered, off-street parking spaces demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU do not need to be replaced (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(11)).
• Changes the allowable number of detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling to eight detached ADUs, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(A)(ii)).
• Prohibits a local agency from imposing any objective development standards on 66323 Units that are not authorized by the provisions of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b)).
Changes to ADU Law in 2023:
• Sunsets a former prohibition on a local agency imposing an owner occupancy requirement on any ADU and instead prohibits a local agency from requiring owner occupancy for an ADU (Gov. Code, § 66315).
• Allows a local agency to adopt a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU(s) as condominiums, subject to certain conditions (Gov. Code, §§ 66340-66342).
If an existing ADU ordinance fails to meet the requirements of State ADU Law, the ordinance is “null and void” and the local jurisdiction must apply the standards set forth in State ADU Law until it adopts an ordinance that complies with state law (Gov. Code, § 66316). HCD recommends that a local jurisdiction with a noncompliant ADU ordinance repeal the ordinance to provide clarity for ADU applicants who may otherwise rely on the outdated ordinance.
HCD requests a response by March 29, 2026 with either (1) a description of how the ADU ordinance continues to comply with State ADU Law despite the changes to the law, or (2) a plan and timeline to either repeal the current ordinance or adopt an amended, compliant ordinance and submit it to HCD for review.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS: 9A.
To: Honorable Mayor & Councilmembers
From: Sonia Urzua, Planning Director, Cassius Carandang, Assistant Planner Subject: Pre-Approved ADU Program Launch in Partnership with Lafayette and Orinda.
Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Receive information on the Town’s participation in the Senate District 7 ADU Accelerator Program to develop pre-approved ADU plans in partnership with Lafayette and Orinda.
BACKGROUND
The California Budget Act of 2023 allocated $2.5 million through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to support the Senate District 7 ADU Accelerator Program in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. The program funds two initiatives: (1) financial incentives for residents constructing ADUs and (2) development of preapproved ADU plans, with the goal of facilitating the construction of 350 ADUs to help address the State’s housing shortage.
On June 25, 2025, Town staff presented the ADU Accelerator Program to the Town Council and in particular the financial incentive providing rebates for deed-restricted affordable ADUs and non-restricted ADUs. No action was required of the Town Council because the item was presented as a departmental report for informational purposes.
The Town is now advancing the pre-approved ADU plan component of the program and has been awarded $50,000.00 in grant funding. Pre-approved ADU plans are standard ADU design packages that are reviewed in advance for consistency with applicable zoning and development standards. Site-specific requirements, including an individual site plan and any required engineering or building review, will still apply. The plans are intended to reduce upfront design costs for residents and streamline the ADU review process.
The grant-funded program concludes on September 30, 2026. As a condition of funding, each participating jurisdiction must provide an adopted Council resolution approving the completed pre-approved ADU plans before the program deadline. If a resolution is not adopted by the 121
deadline, grant funds may be subject to return in accordance with the program requirements.
DISCUSSION
Lafayette and Orinda Collaboration
The Town is collaborating with Lafayette and Orinda to develop a shared library of six (6) preapproved ADU plans for use within each jurisdiction. The partnership allows the three participating jurisdictions to pool Senate District 7 funding and coordinate the consultant work needed to prepare high-quality designs that can be adapted to a range of lots and site conditions. Each jurisdiction anticipates contributing its $50,000.00 grant allocation, for a total anticipated project budget of $150,000.00, subject to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The following summarizes actions completed to date and anticipated next steps for implementing the program.
1. Consultant Selection and Request for Proposals Process (May-June 2026) The participating jurisdictions initiated the consultant selection process in May 2026.
Consistent with the executed MOU, Lafayette serves as the Lead Agency for the procurement and administration of the consultant agreement, in consultation with Moraga and Orinda. After the proposal period closed on May 29, 2026, the participating jurisdictions evaluated the submissions and selected RRM Design Group to prepare the pre-approved ADU plans for the Lamorinda communities.
2. Memorandum of Understanding with Lafayette and Orinda (June 2026) The Town, Lafayette, and Orinda have entered into an MOU that establishes the framework for their collaboration. The MOU provides for pooling allocated Senate District 7 funds, coordinating resources, and coordinating with respect to Lafayette’s procurement and administration of consulting and design services for the shared library of pre-approved ADU plans. Lafayette serves as the lead agency and is responsible for entering into a professional service agreement with RRM Design Group, invoice processing, and project coordination.
Moraga and Orinda may provide comments and requested revisions through Lafayette but may not authorize scope changes, additional services, contract amendments, or schedule modifications unless Lafayette authorizes them in writing. Costs are expected to be shared equally among the three participating jurisdictions based on actual costs, and each jurisdiction’s financial obligation is capped at its Senate District 7 allocation unless the MOU is amended in writing.
3. Pre-Approved ADU Plan Development, Public Review, and Finalization (JuneSeptember 2026) The participating jurisdictions will work with the RRM Design Group to establish project milestones, deliverables, and schedule expectations. During the summer, the consultant will prepare schematic designs for the pre-approved ADU plans, which will be made available for public and agency review through each jurisdiction's appropriate design review process. 122
After considering public and agency feedback, the participating jurisdictions will refine the preapproved ADU plans. The plans are expected to be presented to the respective City Councils and Town Council in September 2026 for consideration of a resolution approving the completed pre-approved ADU plans before the September 30, 2026 grant deadline.
4. Building Permit Review and Program Launch (October 2026-March 2027) Following Council action, the consultant will complete the building-permit-level plan sets for submission to Contra Costa County for review and approval. Staff anticipates that the preapproved ADU plans will be available on each jurisdiction’s website by early March 2027.
General Plan and Housing Element Consistency
The pre-approved ADU plans are consistent with the Moraga 2040 General Plan. Under the Community Design Element, Policy CD-4.4, Infill Development in Single-Family Neighborhoods, encourages expanding the Town’s housing supply through streamlined residential development, including accessory dwellings. Pre-approved ADU plans will reduce development costs for homeowners and streamline ADU construction on residentially zoned properties.
The pre-approved ADU plans also support the 2023-2031 Housing Element’s goal of ensuring access to opportunity and safety, including Policy H3.4, Affordable Housing in Areas of Opportunity, and Program 16, ADU Production, which promotes additional housing units within the Town’s high-resource residential neighborhoods, including the 1-DUA, 2-DUA, and 3-DUA land use designations.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct General Fund impact. The ADU Accelerator Program is funded by HCD and administered by the Town of Danville as fiscal agent. The Town received a $50,000.00 check from the fiscal agent on April 27, 2026, for the development of pre-approved ADU plans.
Under the MOU, the Town will pool its grant allocation with Lafayette and Orinda, and project costs are expected to be shared equally based on actual costs, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Indirect staff costs associated with this project are absorbed within the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 General Fund Budget.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
The pre-approved ADU program is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4). The program involves funding and administrative planning activities and does not commit the Town to a specific development project or result in a potential physical change to the environment. Future use of a preapproved ADU plan on a specific property will remain subject to applicable ADU law and permitting requirements.
ALTERNATIVES
None.
123
NEXT STEPS
Unless directed otherwise, staff will continue collaborating with Lafayette and Orinda under the MOU to develop the pre-approved ADU plans. Upon completion, staff anticipates returning to the Town Council on September 9, 2026, for consideration of a resolution approving the completed pre-approved ADU plans. Following Town Council action, the resolution will be transmitted to the fiscal agent before the September 30, 2026 program deadline.

7.2 In the event that additional services or funding are required to complete the project, the Parties shall confer in good faith to determine whether to proceed with such work and how any associated costs will be allocated. No Party shall be obligated to contribute additional funds unless this MOU is amended in writing by the Parties.
7.3 If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement regarding additional funding or scope changes, the Lead Agency may proceed to complete the project within the existing approved budget, modify the scope accordingly, or terminate the Consultant contract, as appropriate.
8. Procurement
The procurement of the Consultant shall be conducted by the Lead Agency in a manner consistent with applicable California law and the Lead Agency’s procurement requirements. The Lead Agency shall consult with the other Parties regarding the selection of the Consultant and the scope of work, but final procurement actions shall be taken in accordance with the Lead Agency’s applicable procedures.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS: 9B.
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Mackenzie Brady, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan – Community Engagement Update
Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Receive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan community engagement update and provide input to staff.
BACKGROUND
On June 25, 2025, Town Council selected Wallace Roberts & Todd (WRT) to work with Town staff to prepare a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan to identify future development and funding opportunities. The overall consultant team includes WRT, Group 4 Architecture, PROS Consulting, and Environmental Science Associates (ESA). Over the past year, the PROS Master Plan process has included an extensive community outreach and engagement effort intended to gather input regarding parks, recreation facilities, programs, trails, open space resources, and long-term community priorities.
Community Engagement – Fall 2025
Community outreach, engagement, and "pop-up" activities conducted during Fall 2025 included the following:
Pear and Wine Festival – September 27, 2025
St. Mary’s College Parent Weekend – October 3, 2025
St. Mary’s College Athletes Community Service Activities – October 4, 2025 Moraga Library Book Sale – October 4, 2025
Moraga-Orinda Fire District Pancake Breakfast – October 11, 2025 Moraga Farmers Market – October 19, 2025
Not So Creepy Commons – October 24, 2025
134
Augmented Survey Input – Fall 2025
The same survey used during the above pop-up events was also distributed through a link included on the back cover of the Winter/Spring 2026 Activity Guide, which was mailed to all Moraga households. Targeted focus groups were conducted with a broad range of stakeholders, including youth and families, schools and higher education representatives, seniors, environmental and open space stakeholders, business and event stakeholders, sports organizations, long-term residents and parents, recreation providers, the Art in Public Spaces Commission, and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Community Survey – December 2025 and January 2026
A statistically valid community survey was conducted in December 2025 and January 2026 using a randomized household sampling methodology. The mailing was intentionally delayed until after the holiday season to help maximize response rates. Survey packets were mailed to 3,000 randomly selected Moraga households, and respondents could complete the survey either by mail or online. Online responses were validated against the original random sample addresses to ensure only selected households were included in the statistically valid dataset.
The consultant’s goal was to obtain at least 400 completed surveys. A total of 415 valid responses were ultimately collected, resulting in a reported precision level of approximately +/-
4.6% at a 95% confidence interval.
Joint Town Council and Parks & Recreation Commission Study Session – March 25, 2026 A Joint Town Council and Parks & Recreation Commission Study Session was conducted on March 25, 2026 to allow for additional public engagement and input from Councilmembers and Parks & Recreation Commissioners.
Community Workshop – May 1, 2026
The "Moraga Plays: Park Social" community workshop was held on May 1, 2026. Based on completed workshop passports, approximately 328 participants attended this workshop.
Community Online Survey – May 1, 2026 to June 12, 2026
Following the May 1, 2026 community workshop, the Town conducted an online community survey that included the same materials and activities presented during the workshop. The survey remained available through June 12, 2026 to allow additional opportunities for participation and outreach. Paper survey copies were also made available through the Parks and Recreation Department. In addition to workshop and survey responses, written public comments and correspondence were received throughout the process and incorporated into the engagement summary and analysis.
Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting – June 8, 2026
On June 8, 2026, the Parks and Recreation Commission received an informational update regarding the PROS Master Plan process, community engagement activities conducted to date, public questions received by staff, and the proposed project schedule. A number of residents and non-residents shared their input.
135
Town Council Meeting – June 10, 2026
On June 10, 2026, Town Council received a similar update and discussed community engagement efforts, project milestones, and the anticipated schedule for completion of the Master Plan. A total of 15 residents and non-residents expressed their concerns about potential changes to Rancho Laguna Park. In addition, Town Council supported a revised Master Plan schedule to include additional public meetings and project milestones, including presentation of community engagement results, preliminary recommendations, draft plan review, and final Town Council consideration of the PROS Master Plan.
Rancho Laguna Park Neighborhood Outreach – Late June 2026 Following community discussions regarding Rancho Laguna Park at recent public meetings, Town staff decided to conduct additional targeted outreach to the park's nearby residents.
Survey materials were mailed to households located within approximately 500 feet of Rancho Laguna Park to provide an additional opportunity for direct neighborhood input regarding the park and future planning considerations. These households include properties that are located within both the incorporated Town of Moraga and within the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County. Responses are due to be received by June 30, 2026, and will be incorporated into the consultant team's ongoing analysis and consideration during development of draft recommendations and the final PROS Master Plan.
Town Council Meeting – June 24, 2026
The purpose of this meeting is for the WRT consulting firm and Town staff to provide an update on the survey data and Master Plan process to date. Members of the public will be allowed to provide additional comments. In addition, Councilmembers will be able to ask questions and provide input.
DISCUSSION
Master Plan Process Overview
The consultant team will begin the presentation of this agenda item with an overview of the planning process completed to date and a summary of community engagement efforts conducted throughout the project. As a reminder, the purpose of the engagement activities to date has been to understand community priorities, identify recreation needs, evaluate opportunities and constraints, and provide a foundation for future development of Master Plan recommendations.
Community Engagement Results and Consultant Presentation The consultant team has completed analysis of information collected through the statistically valid survey, May 1 community workshop, online survey responses, focus groups, outreach events, and written public comments. The workshop and online survey were intended to evaluate community perspectives regarding preliminary opportunities identified through the Needs Assessment process. These opportunities included improvements to existing parks, shared-use opportunities with the Moraga School District and Saint Mary's College, alternative concepts for Hacienda de las Flores, and potential community center locations. The 136
opportunities were presented for discussion and testing purposes and do not constitute draft recommendations or approved projects.
While the consultant team has substantially completed the analysis of the engagement activities conducted to date, additional targeted neighborhood outreach related to Rancho Laguna Park remains underway. As noted above, responses from the recently distributed neighborhood survey are due by June 30, 2026 and will be incorporated into future phases of the planning process and development of draft recommendations.
The June 24, 2026 presentation will summarize community engagement results collected through the May 1, 2026 community workshop and online survey. According to the consultant team, the workshop generated approximately 328 participants and more than 1,000 comments, and responses. The online survey generated approximately 230 participants and more than 2,800 question responses. The purpose of these engagement activities was to test preliminary opportunities identified through the Needs Assessment and help inform development of draft recommendations. Key themes identified through the workshop and survey process include:
Trails, paths, and connectivity;
Sports and recreation opportunities;
Community and senior activities;
Nature and ecology;
Arts and culture;
Accessibility and infrastructure;
Water features; and
Youth and family activities.
The themes above reflect broad topic areas that emerged through community feedback and do not represent ranked priorities or recommendations. The presentation will also summarize community feedback regarding potential opportunities associated with Moraga Commons Park, West Commons Park, Rancho Laguna Park, the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail, trails and open space improvements, recreation programs, and community events.
The topics presented at this meeting are intended to summarize community input received to date and do not constitute recommendations, approved projects, or Town Council direction.
Development of preliminary recommendations will occur during Summer 2026 and will be presented on September 9, 2026 at the joint Town Council and Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving this informational update. The PROS Master Plan itself does not allocate funding or authorize capital improvement projects. Any future project recommendations identified within the Master Plan will require separate evaluation, environmental review as appropriate, funding identification, public outreach, and Town Council authorization prior to implementation.
137
CEQA COMPLIANCE
The recommended action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, the action is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Direct staff and the consultant team to provide additional analysis or information.
2. Provide alternative direction to staff and the consultant team.
NEXT STEPS
Following completion of the community engagement phase, the consultant team will work through July and August to utilize information gathered through the statistically valid survey, community workshop, online survey responses, focus groups, outreach events, written comments, and ongoing Rancho Laguna neighborhood outreach to develop preliminary recommendations. These recommendations will be presented at the September 9, 2026 Joint Town Council and Parks and Recreation Commission meeting for public review and discussion. The draft PROS Master Plan will subsequently be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on October 12, 2026, and then to Town Council on November 18, 2026, for final consideration and adoption.

Town Clerk of Moraga
Dear Town Council of Moraga,
It has come to my attention that the Town of Moraga is pursuing drastic changes to Rancho Laguna Park. I find it deeply concerning and feel that it is important I speak my mind, despite no longer living in the area full time. The council is planning to remove or limit the off leash dog space at Rancho Laguna Park, in order to install sports fields such as baseball, softball and pickleball.
My personal experience with Rancho Laguna goes back almost fifteen years.
When I was a sophomore in high school, at Miramonte, I tore my meniscus while running on the Varsity Cross Country Team. During my post operative recovery, my father, Geoff Adey, would drive me over to Rancho Laguna, with our three dogs, so that I could sit outside, watch our dogs, and experience a modicum of joy. This was an almost daily occurrence for several months.
During that time, I became acutely aware of the importance of animal companionship during hardship. I saw the benefit for myself, and I saw the benefit of other people in the park interacting with dogs. Since then, I have graduated Miramonte, UC Santa Cruz, and the University of Southern California, and moved to Pennsylvania. I am now a mental health therapist, who has a trained Therapy Dog, Jessie, who comes to work to provide comfort to my clients during our sessions.
Everytime I come home to Orinda, my dad and I take at least one trip to Rancho Laguna. Every time I am at the park, I have the wonderful privilege of seeing different folks interacting with dogs in a safe environment. I have seen parents bring their young children, who are afraid of dogs, to the park so that the child may see dogs play, be silly, and potentially, allow the child to pet 153
them. Rancho Laguna offers a safe space for children to meet dogs and develop their own love and joy of the animal.
Over the last decade and a half, our family has also lost dogs to age and illness. The community who frequents Rancho Laguna has offered irreplaceable support to my father during this time. The families and individuals who come to the park know each other, they trust each other, and they grieve with each other when a community member crosses the rainbow bridge, dog or otherwise. To take away or limit that support for these, as you mentioned in the Needs Assessment, “senior and elderly” individuals, is cruel. It is especially cruel, when you consider that Rancho Laguna is the only off leash dog park in Moraga. Mulholland Ridge Open Space is off leash, however it is not as accessible to elderly, mobility limited individuals, as Rancho Laguna is, due to the hilly and unpaved nature of the open space.
Rancho Laguna offers a space for dogs and humans to walk and play, when they otherwise may not have that opportunity. Growing up in Orinda and Moraga, it was an unusual experience to come across a neighborhood that had sidewalks. Most neighborhoods venture down windy, narrow roads that are not only unsafe for dogs to be walking on, but unsafe for people to be walking on. Furthermore, due to the valley-like landscape of Lamorinda, many homes have terraced properties that are not fun for dogs to run and play on, which is exacerbated by the fact that California has increased fire-precautionary protocols, and many people have done away with their lawns. My family, among many, is one of the households who has gotten rid of a lawn in an effort to limit excess water consumption. So where are our dogs, but also our friends' dogs supposed to run and play with each other? While I recognize that there is a need for sports complexes, there are other spaces that Moraga could consider, such as the large open space behind Joaquin Moraga Intermediate, or perhaps a space in Moraga Commons.
I find it also pertinent to point out that the Needs Assessment discusses that Moraga has a population that leans more senior. Yet, the assessment also claims that “Youth and Families” complain that there is a lack of athletic fields.
Figure 4 (page 4), notes that ages 5-14 comprise 12.5% of the population, which has dropped by 13%. This is the age group most likely to be participating in youth sports leagues, who would need athletic fields. Why does the town need to foster a need for a diminishing population? Additionally, ages 15-24 comprise just over 20% of the population, however, this could be heavily skewed by the presence of St. Mary’s College, as well as adult children of current Moraga residents, who may or may not live in Moraga full time. St.
Mary’s College has its own sports complexes and athletic fields, so why would they need access to a public park, down a long road, that, unless you grew up in the area, you wouldn’t know it is there?
154
I respect that Mayor Hillis and the Town Council want to catch up to national averages for athletic fields and sports complexes, such as pickleball and basketball courts. I agree, these could be wonderful additions to the community, however, Rancho Laguna is not the place to make those particular additions. Pickleball in particular is mostly popular among 25-34 year olds, according to Dill Dinkers. This is not an age group that is thriving in Moraga. To take out a beloved, community Dog Park, and to replace it with a pickleball court, would be akin to putting an art museum on a desert island. No one will use it.
As I’ve mentioned above, I have been coming to this dog park for nearly two decades. I have seen dozens of people there, with their dogs, sometimes twice a day. I’ve seen grief, joy and support bleed through children, adults and seniors. To take away the dog park at Rancho Laguna park, would be incredibly detrimental to the community. I myself have hopes of moving home to Lamorinda one day, and if this park is no longer a safe space that I can bring my dog and future children to, I will be disappointed to know that the town council put the wants of a few, above the needs of so many others.
Thank you for your time.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Scott Mitnick, Town Manager
Subject: Economic Development Update Report
Meeting Date: June 24, 2026
TOWN OF MORAGA STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Receive an Economic Development Update Report.
BACKGROUND
On January 14, 2026, Town Council authorized entering into a professional services agreement with Kosmont Companies (Kosmont) to provide on-call real estate and economic development advisory services to the Town to facilitate private investment and the development and/or redevelopment of key properties throughout the community. Over the past few months, there has been development progress at the Rheem Shopping Center and in other parts of Town. Initial discussions with the Kosmont team have taken place. Town staff have also participated in several constructive meetings with local property owners, local business owners, real estate/development experts, and potential developers/businesses.
There are several exciting development projects that are either underway or will start to take place over the next few months to several years.
DISCUSSION
The more detailed analytical work (including conducting a market site analysis, reviewing comparable redevelopment case studies, and preparing hypothetical development scenarios) is anticipated to commence over the next few months. Preparation of potential economic development tools and financial incentives for Town Council consideration will also take place.
At the June 24, 2026 Town Council meeting, the Town Manager will provide Town Council with a broad overview of the economic development activities of the past six months and highlight what is anticipated over the next six months, and beyond. 200
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving this report. Project funding was included in the FY 2025-206 General Fund Budget.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Receiving this informational update is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not approve or commit the Town to any specific project, physical improvement, or course of action. Any future project approvals will be reviewed for CEQA compliance as appropriate.
ALTERNATIVES
Request staff not to provide this update and future Economic Development Update Reports.
NEXT STEPS
Staff will continue to implement the Town’s Economic Development Program and provide updates to Town Council via internal memos, individual Councilmember meetings, and at future Town Council meetings. The next tentative Town Council meeting update is anticipated to take place on October 14, 2026.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT: KEY THEMES
High Satisfaction & Desire for Continued
Improvement
The community values its existing system and
supports thoughtful, strategic investment to sustain
and enhance it.
Open Space and Trails Define Community
Identity
Moraga’s scenic open spaces and trail network are
central to recreation, health, and small-town
character.
Limited Indoor Recreation & Gathering Space
The absence of adequate indoor recreation and
gathering space is one of the system’s most
significant gaps.
Programs & Community Events are Central to
Community Life
Recreation programs and community events are
central to social connection and quality of life in
Moraga.
Prioritizing Opportunities Within Existing
Parks, Open Spaces, & Trails
Residents prioritize enhancing existing parks, open
spaces, and trails by adding amenities, improving
comfort, and replacing aging features.
Active Recreation Facility Gaps
While Moraga excels in passive recreation, structural
gaps remain in active-use facilities.
Based on what we heard from the community, Town staff, and recreation providers, and what we saw in Moraga’s parks, open spaces, and facilities, these key themes emerged. 265
OPPORTUNITIES
TO MEET NEEDS
Potential opportunities were identified to help address the top needs identified through the Needs Assessment. These included:
• Improvements to Existing Parks
• Shared Use Opportunities with the School District &
Saint Mary’s College
