Michigan HB5583 prohibits zoning ordinances from requiring more than 25 feet of setback from wetlands, inland lakes, or streams.

Michigan HB5583 amends the state's land use law to limit the minimum setback requirements for dwellings and outbuildings. It prohibits local governments from imposing a setback of more than 15 feet from the front property line or 5 feet from the rear or side property lines if they are in or adjacent to a metropolitan statistical area. However, local governments may impose a setback of up to 25 feet from wetlands, inland lakes, or streams. This change aims to balance development needs with environmental protections.
