Land use: zoning and growth management; regulating land development for residential use; temporarily restrict. Amends sec. 201 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3201).

SB 985 amends Michigan's zoning enabling act to temporarily prevent local governments from adopting or enforcing new residential zoning regulations for a two-year period. This restriction applies only to rules governing land development for residential use and does not affect other types of zoning or existing ordinances. The bill is designed to pause changes in residential zoning rules while allowing local units of government to continue managing other land uses and addressing non-residential issues.
