Sponsor: Representative Mike Green

House Committee: Local Government and Urban Policy

Senate Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs


CONTENT


House Bills 5036 (H-2) and 5037 (H-2) would amend the Township Zoning Act and the County Zoning Act, respectively, to do the following:


-- Require a township or county to incorporate an airport layout plan or airport approach plan into a township or county zoning plan.

-- Require a township or county zoning ordinance adopted after the bills' effective date to be consistent with any airport zoning regulations, airport layout plan, or airport approach plan.

-- Require a notice to an airport manager of each airport affected by the adoption of a zoning ordinance.


("Airport approach plan" would mean a plan, or an amendment to a plan, adopted under the Airport Zoning Act, and filed with the township zoning board or county zoning commission. "Airport layout plan" would mean a plan, or an amendment to a plan, that showed current or proposed layout of an airport, that was approved by the Michigan Aeronautics Commission, and that was filed with the township zoning board or county zoning commission. "Airport zoning regulations" would mean the airport zoning regulations adopted under the Airport Zoning Act for an airport hazard area that lay in whole or part in the area affected by a zoning ordinance under the Township Zoning Act or the County Zoning Act.)


The bills are tie-barred to Senate Bill 764, which would amend the Aeronautics Code to require an airport manager to file a copy of the airport approach plan and the airport layout plan, and the airport's registration with the zoning board, zoning commission, or other commission appointed to recommend zoning regulations, if any, of any township, county, village, or city located in whole or in part within the approach protection area.
