Issue Brief
What this covers

Why it matters
State zoning-preemption proposals could limit Harbor Springs' local control over zoning after the city spent years rewriting its code. The city's immediate local action, approving a letter opposing the bills, is complete. The broader issue remains active until the Lansing proposals are withdrawn, defeated, enacted, or otherwise no longer threaten local zoning authority.
What resolution means
- Resolved when the relevant state bills fail, are withdrawn, are amended so they no longer preempt core local zoning authority, or the city adopts a final response to enacted legislation.
