MISC. RESOLUTION
RE: OPPOSITION TO BILLS CONCERNING LOCAL ZONING CONTROLS
BY: DR. JOSEPH R, MONTANTE„ COUNTY COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT #26
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, House Bilk 4893, 4394, and 4896, in their substitute form, are serious
infringements on the zoning authority currently granted to counties, cities, villages and
townships in Michigan; and
WHEREAS, these bills would permit special uses, in this case (1) adult foster care
facilities and (2) child care organizations, to locate within all residential areas and be
exempt from special or local conditional use permits; and
WHEREAS, House Bills 6094 and 6095 are companion bills which identify these
permitted uses and establish the Director of the Michigan Department of Social Services as
an arbitrator of disputes between the local community and licensed home operator; and
WHEREAS, these proposed measures are contrary to sound zoning practice, and,
if passed, would create a precedent which once followed could destroy the validity of all
zoning in Michigan; and
WHEREAS, these bills are IH advised and are contrary to the concepts of local
self determination and as such are not in the interests of sound local government,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
call for members of the State Legislature to express their disapproval of these potentially
destructive bills by opposing these measures in both committee and on the floor of the
legislature.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
