Moraga Municipal Code Art. 1 Lots

A person shall not divide a lot or parcel and shall not convey a lot or parcel or any part of it if the division or conveyance so reduces the area, width, yard or setback of the lot or parcel or creates a lot or parcel with an area, width, yard, or setback so small that it does not conform to this title.

(Ord. No. 268, § 6, 5-10-2017)

If part of a lot or parcel having not less than the required area for its land use district is acquired for public use and if the remainder of the lot or parcel has not less than eighty (80) percent of the area required for its land use district, the remainder shall be considered as having the required area. However, setback, side yard, and rear yard requirements shall be met. If a lot or parcel has an authorized nonconforming status as to area under any town ordinance, the parcel shall retain its nonconforming status if the acquisition for public use does not reduce the remainder below eighty (80) percent of the existing nonconforming area. The setback, side yard, and rear yard requirements of the land use district shall be met for any new development thereafter, except for buildings or structures in existence at the time of public acquisition.
