Board denies rezone request for Busick properties, citing neighborhood compatibility

Aug 18, 2026

The board upheld the planning commission’s denial of a rezoning request by John and Marcela Busick to change parcels from Agriculture-Residential to Business, noting surrounding residential uses, township road access, and adjacent parcels not operating as businesses.

The full story

Zoning administrator Trina presented a request from John and Marcela Busick (Busick Living Trust) to rezone two parcels in Section 17 from Agriculture-Residential to Business. Trina told the board the planning commission denied the request on July 10 and recommended denial again because the surrounding area to the west is residential, the parcels are on a township road rather than a state highway, and adjacent parcels zoned business are in residential use.
