Board denies Busick rezone request, citing neighborhood compatibility

Aug 18, 2026

Isanti County commissioners denied a request by the Busick Living Trust to rezone two parcels to business; planning staff and the commission said the area remains residential and the application was incompatible with surrounding homes.

The full story

The board denied a rezone request from John and Marcela Busick (Busick Living Trust) to change two parcels from Agriculture-Residential to Business. Staff said the planning commission had denied the same request previously and recommended denial again because the area to the west is residential, the parcels are on a township road rather than a state highway, and adjacent business‑zoned parcels are occupied by homes rather than commercial uses.
