Dear Tom,
At their meeting of October 13, 1993, the Moraga Town
Council expressed dismay at the Board' s decisions to
approve General Plan Amendment 7-91 and Rezoning 2961-RZ
for applicant Allied Investments .
As you know, the land involved in the General Plan
Amendment and Rezoning is adjacent to the Town of Moraga
corporate- limits; and, more . particularly, immediately
adjacent to the Town' s rural park, Rancho *Laguna. The
approval of a subdivision with the density proposed and
without specific input from the planners of the Town of
Moraga is inconsistent with good planning and environmental
concern.
It is no accident, nor a misunderstanding that your
Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposed
subdivision on two occasions . By their recommendations,
your Planning Commission apparently recognized the problems
associated with this "pocket" development on the borders of
an incorporated community.
From the initial submittal of this subdivision, the
Town of Moraga has indicated that if this land is to be
changed from the general plan and zoning designation of
agricultural to residential or other development zones, the
land should be annexed to the Town in order for Town
planners to ensure the land owner and adjacent property
owners that any development of the property will be
consistent with the Town's general plan and the surrounding
property uses .
We hope that your future decisions concerning land use
near our community will be more consistent with the Town' s
General Plan and development guidelines .
Sincerel
