Land use: zoning and growth management; duplexes; permit in single family residential zones. Amends 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3101 - 125.3702) by adding sec. 517.

This bill modifies Michigan's zoning laws to allow residential duplexes in areas currently zoned for single-family homes. The change applies only to cities and villages within or next to metropolitan statistical areas, excluding townships. Under the new rules, building a duplex would follow the same permitting process as constructing a single-family home. The legislation takes effect 180 days after it is signed into law.
