Housing: codes; triplexes, quadplexes, 5-plexes, or 6-plexes in certain residential structures; allow. Amends 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1501 - 125.1531) by adding sec. 4g.

This bill allows the construction of residential buildings that contain triplexes, quadplexes, 5-plexes, or 6-plexes in certain areas. It amends existing housing codes to facilitate this type of housing development. The aim is to increase housing options in Michigan by permitting more multi-family units in residential structures.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will help address Michigan's housing shortage by increasing the availability of affordable multi-family housing options. They believe that allowing more diverse housing types will lead to more vibrant communities and better accommodate growing populations.

Critics of the bill contend that it may lead to overcrowding and strain existing infrastructure in residential neighborhoods. They worry that allowing larger multi-family units could disrupt the character of communities and reduce property values in the surrounding areas.
