Amends Michigan zoning enabling act to include data center regulation act among applicable laws.

This bill amends the Michigan zoning enabling act to include the data center regulation act among the laws that zoning ordinances must follow. The bill specifies that zoning ordinances must consider the impact of proposed developments on existing land uses, property values, pedestrian and traffic safety, and other health, safety, and welfare interests. It also addresses the extraction of natural resources, stating that local governments cannot prevent such extraction unless very serious consequences would result.
