Land use: zoning and growth management; city or village zoning ordinance amendment; revise protest petition requirements. Amends sec. 403 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3403).
This bill updates Michigan's zoning laws to clarify how residents can protest proposed changes to city or village zoning ordinances. It requires that any such protest petition be submitted to the local legislative body before the final vote on the amendment. The law sets specific thresholds for who can sign these petitions, demanding signatures from owners of at least 20% of the affected land area or a similar percentage of nearby land, with higher requirements of 50% if the change increases development intensity. Additionally, the bill specifies that publicly owned land should not be counted when calculating the percentage of land area needed to file a protest.
