Soulsbyville Sherry Court Rezoning: October 2026 Filing Covers 0.87 Acre, Not New Construction

SOULSBYVILLE, Tuolumne County — October 29, 2026. An official county environmental filing describes a proposed land-use change affecting 0.87 acre at 20381 Sherry Court in Soulsbyville. The October 22, 2026 filing concerns a zoning amendment linked to a lot-line adjustment, not a proposal to construct a new housing subdivision.

What would change?

Tuolumne County’s document, LUNR-26-15, describes an ordinance to rezone land from General Agricultural, 10-acre minimum (A-10) to Single-Family Residential: Mobile Home Foundation Combining District (R-1:MX). The rezoning is a condition of approval related to lot-line adjustment T-26-8.

Why did the county file an environmental exemption?

The environmental coordinator found the action eligible for exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), explaining that the parcel already contains two homes, the underlying General Plan designation would not change and the described action would not make physical changes to the environment.

That is an environmental determination for the defined zoning and lot-line action. It should not be misread as approval for a major new development, a finding that every future project is automatically exempt, or evidence that construction has started.

What can neighbors do?

People interested in parcel boundaries, land-use designations or later permits can review the county planning record using the project number and parcel number 089-010-003. For questions about potential future construction, separate building and planning approvals would need to be checked as applicable.

The public notice lists county contact Amy Augustine with Tuolumne County, telephone (209) 533-5633. Residents may also review the county’s official planning and meeting materials.
