The Michigan Zoning Enabling Act 110 of 2006 https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-Act-110-of-2006 leaves a nice loophole for anyone wanting to build something we don’t want in our township. I don’t understand it very well. Perhaps someone will explain it at the March 3 hearing on zoning ordinance changes regarding Data Centers?

125.3207 Zoning ordinance or decision; effect as prohibiting establishment of land use.

Sec. 207.

A zoning ordinance or zoning decision shall not have the effect of totally prohibiting the establishment of a land use within a local unit of government in the presence of a demonstrated need for that land use within either that local unit of government or the surrounding area within the state, unless a location within the local unit of government does not exist where the use may be appropriately located or the use is unlawful.
