Land use: land division; number of parcels resulting from division; authorize counties and municipalities to increase. Amends sec. 108 of 1967 PA 288 (MCL 560.108).

This bill allows counties and municipalities in Michigan to increase the number of parcels that can result from land divisions. It amends existing laws to provide more flexibility in how land can be divided and developed. This change aims to support local planning and development efforts.

Supporters of the bill argue that it empowers local governments to better manage land use and development, fostering economic growth and community planning. By allowing more parcels from land divisions, it can lead to increased housing options and improved land management.

Critics of the bill contend that increasing the number of parcels could lead to overdevelopment and strain local resources. They warn that it may undermine community character and environmental protections by encouraging unchecked land division.
