What permits are required in order to change or widen my driveway?

Alterations to existing curbs require an Encroachment Permit from the Town Engineer’s office. Design Review Board approval is required for any paved parking area in the front yard whose width exceeds the width of the garage (Moraga Municipal Code Section 8.76.100-F). Driveway paving longer than 50 feet or wider than 16 feet should be constructed of previous paving materials (Design Guidelines SFR1.7) (See Guideline D9.2).

For more information, please refer to the Town of Moraga Design Guidelines document.
