Allows duplexes in single-family residential zones with specific zoning restrictions.

This bill amends Michigan's land use laws to allow the construction of duplexes in single-family residential zones. It prohibits local governments from imposing certain restrictions on duplexes, such as requiring more than one parking space per residential unit or imposing design requirements more stringent than those for single-family homes. Local governments can still enforce reasonable setback, dimensional, design, and permitting requirements for duplexes, but these cannot prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting duplex construction.
