Land use: zoning and growth management; site plan; prohibit requirements for repeat studies. Amends sec. 501 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3501).
Impact
The proposed changes under HB 6096 aim to streamline the site plan approval process, thereby enhancing local governments' ability to regulate land use effectively. By establishing a more structured approach for site plan submissions, the bill could promote clarity and predictability for applicants and local authorities alike. It could also facilitate better planning and development efforts, ensuring that projects align with local zoning standards and community goals.
Summary
House Bill 6096 amends the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act by modifying the process for site plan submission and approval. This bill allows local units of government to require site plans before authorizing any land use or activity regulated by a zoning ordinance. The bill mandates that the zoning ordinance must specify the authority responsible for reviewing site plans and granting approvals. Additionally, it insists that all actions regarding the authorized activities should be consistent with the approved site plan unless a change has been agreed upon by the landowner and the approving authority.
Contention
The discussion surrounding this bill, as indicated by voting results, suggests a mix of support and opposition among legislators. Supporters advocate for clearer guidelines and more efficient processes, arguing that this would benefit both local governments and developers. In contrast, some opponents might express concerns about the adequacy of local control in planning matters, fearing that standardizing procedures may overlook unique local needs and considerations. The bill’s language on procedural requirements may also raise questions about the balance of authority between local governments and the state.
