Moraga Canyon Specific Plan
COMING SOON: Community Survey on development alternatives.
The Moraga Canyon Specific Plan is an initiative to study all City-owned land in Moraga Canyon, including Blair Park, Coaches Field, Kennelly Skate Park, and the City’s Corporation Yard, with the end goal of creating a detailed plan for how to:
incorporate 132 units of new housing, 60 of which would be reserved for lower income households;
maintain and improve existing City facilities, open space, and recreational amenities; and
improving bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic safety
improving wildfire safety.
The Moraga Canyon Specific Plan is part of the implementation process for Piedmont’s 6th Cycle Housing Element.
Timeline
The City began work on the Moraga Canyon Specific Plan in summer 2023, with the goal of completing the plan by the end of 2025.
To take advantage of available funding to create affordable housing, the Specific Plan will prioritize the identification of a site for the development of affordable housing that meets the criteria and timelines to secure Alameda County Measure A-1 (2016) funding.

About Specific Plans
A “Specific Plan” is a comprehensive, action-oriented planning and zoning document for a defined geographic area. Specific Plans bridge the gap between the general policy-oriented language of a City’s “General Plan” by providing detailed criteria for the development of specific sites.
A Specific Plan includes text, maps, and diagrams that describe:
the location of land uses, including open space, within the study area
the location of major infrastructure needed to support the land uses in the plan
standards and criteria for development in the plan area
implementation and financing measures necessary to carry out the items above
