Should Moraga's hillsides and ridgelines be untouched? Do landowners have the right to develop their property? Local regulations for hillside and ridgeline development have been interpreted differently over the years and continue to be a bone of contention between interested parties. To settle the matter, the Moraga Town Council authorized a comprehensive review of existing policies and regulations, and consideration of updates to provide better and more consistent interpretation of the rules. Now is your chance to weigh in on the question of how hillside and ridgeline development should be regulated. The community is invited to attend a workshop from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16 at Saint Mary's College, Hagarty Lounge in De La Salle Hall. Residents will learn about the project, share their thoughts, hear the ideas and opinions of other Moraga residents, and help ensure that the town's policies and regulations address the issues residents care about.
