Tuolumne County does not have a dark sky ordinance or specific outdoor lighting regulations targeting light pollution. The county's rural character and low population density (approximately 55,000 residents across 2,274 square miles) naturally provides dark skies. Some development projects may include outdoor lighting conditions through CEQA review or specific plan requirements. The county's Objective Site and Design Standards may address lighting for specific project types. Nearby Yosemite National Park benefits from the county's low light pollution. Pine Mountain Lake and other HOA communities may have private CC&R lighting guidelines. California Building Energy Code (Title 24) includes outdoor lighting efficiency standards for new construction.
No dark sky ordinance violations. Individual projects may have lighting conditions through CEQA or specific plan approval.
