Multi-Family Housing Proposed For Moraga Road
Investors hope to build 13 multi-family units within two three-story buildings.
LAMORINDA, CA — A group of investors will ask the Lafayette Planning Commission on Monday night to grant them a study session to discuss plans to demolish an existing commercial building at 889 Moraga Road to build 13 multi-family units within two three-story buildings.
A study session is an opportunity for potential applicants to discuss a plan with the planning commission and get feedback on what the groups presents. No formal action is taken at such a session. City staff won't do a detailed analysis on a plan until an application is filed.
The site is on the western side of Moraga Road, near Saint Mary's Road. The developer currently proposes adding two below-market rate units for rental. Access to the parking lot will come from Moraga Road.

The developer may have to apply for a zoning change, as the site is now for commercial use, but is within neighborhood II of the downtown specific plan. Any zoning change must go to the city council for final approval.
The Lafayette Planning Commission meets virtually at 7 p.m. Monday, and can be viewed online.
