What are some land uses where the state has preempted local zoning control?

There are a variety of examples where state law has “preempted” complete local zoning control by townships. These include, but are not limited to, certain transmission lines, cell towers and “small cell” deployments, oil and gas wells, and mineral extraction operations (mining). See e.g., MCL 125.3205.
