Lake Isabella council endorses outreach to oppose state "housing readiness" bills
Summary
Village Manager Wolff told the council a package of state bills would lower minimum lot sizes to 1,500 sq. ft. and allow duplexes by right; the council endorsed staff engagement with the Michigan Municipal League and state legislators in opposition.
Village Manager Wolff updated the Lake Isabella Village Council on a set of proposed state bills described in the minutes as a "housing readiness" package and asked for the council's endorsement to engage the Michigan Municipal League (MML), Representative Neyer and Senator Hauck in opposition to elements of the package.
Wolff told the council the bills would reduce minimum lot sizes to 1,500 square feet and would allow duplexes by right in any residential district; council members gave Wolff the requested endorsement to engage MML and the named legislators.
The minutes note the council's endorsement but do not show a roll-call vote or record any public comments. Wolff also reported there had been no zoning permit activity for the year. The endorsement authorizes staff outreach and does not itself change local zoning rules; any local regulatory changes would require separate council action.
