SEAFARER Site Survey, Upper Michigan Region. Book 3. Governmental Data.

Abstract

Home Rule has been one of the leading factors in allowing Michigan to be somewhat experimental with municipal practices and forms of government. The greater independence achievable in maintaining local regulations has led to the creation of many small cities, and the incorporation of many villages. In most jurisdictions, zoning ordinances have evolved from categorization of existing land use or ownership, and many need overhauling to meet ecological and natural resource considerations. Future changes are required at both the state and local levels to effect the creation of special districts to preserve natural features and define land use policy. (Author)
