MI SB1060

Amends the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act to establish new protections for owners of nonconforming residential rental properties and structures.

Allows owners of nonconforming residential rental properties to make improvements, additions, and alterations including completion, restoration, reconstruction, remodeling, reconfiguration, extension, or enlargement of the property or structure.

Prohibits increases in maximum occupancy or increases in footprint or height unless the changes comply with existing zoning regulations or the owner obtains a variance.

Requires local governments to apply the same variance standards to nonconforming residential rental structures and uses as they apply to conforming residential rental properties.

Prohibits local units of government from revoking or altering residential rental licenses, certificates, or approvals, or reducing occupancy limits, solely because a property is nonconforming; takes effect 90 days after enactment.
