General Plan Update

The General Plan is a state-mandated document showing the town's future growth and development policies. Moraga adopted its first General Plan in 1979. That Plan was updated in 1990 and 2002.

Moraga has been working on its latest General Plan update in two phases. Phase One was completed in early 2023 and included the state-mandated 2023-2031 Housing Element and related amendments to keep the Plan internally consistent. Phase Two is underway now and updates the remaining elements: land use, transportation, open space, conservation, noise and safety.

Under Measure J, Moraga and all other jurisdictions in Contra Costa County must also adopt a growth management element and depending on local demographics, an environmental justice element. Moraga is not required to adopt the latter at this time.
