Dozens of residents attending the Town of Moraga council meeting on Dec. 10 pressed the council for more information about the Camino Pablo development, which commenters said will place 13 new homes (each with an ADU) near two schools and generate prolonged grading and truck traffic.

One resident who spoke during the public‑comment period asserted that the project ‘‘got to the county somehow’’ despite having been denied by several local boards, and asked why residents across the street learned about it only after approvals moved forward. The speaker described a two‑year grading window, safety risks posed by trucks near Campolinda High School and the project’s location in a fire zone that has affected homeowners’ insurance availability.

A second speaker, Jackie Cabasso, framed the matter as part of a larger housing and affordability debate, saying that building large market homes and ADUs for wealthy buyers does not meet community needs for affordability and that different housing choices would better serve local workers.

Town staff did not dispute the residents’ description of impacts at the meeting but committed to follow up. The town manager said staff would collect contact information and that Nate Levine (staff) would reach out; staff committed to responding within 24 hours.

No formal council action was taken on the issue at the meeting. The public commenters requested a community meeting — suggested locations included Campolinda High School — and asked for clearer public engagement and explanations of what municipal services, if any, Moraga would provide or be asked to provide for the development.

The town manager also said staff would follow up separately with a resident who raised concerns about the town’s tree irrigation and maintenance along Canyon Road.

Next steps: staff follow‑up with the speakers, including timely answers about permitting, service impacts and potential town obligations; the council did not schedule a hearing on the item during the meeting.
