Zoning Reform Toolkit Survey

ZONING REFORM TOOLKIT SURVEY

The purpose of this survey is to learn which tools planners are using to advance housing supply and choice, especially those presented in MAP’s Zoning Reform Toolkit. Let us know where you're from, and then check the tools your community has adopted. The survey results will help MAP better understand if members find the Toolkit useful and which regulatory changes are being implemented. We hope to catalogue your examples to help our members research best solutions for their community by providing easy access to other communities that have already done the work.

Thank you for helping to expand housing supply and access in Michigan!
