2008 Comprehensive Plan

Isanti 2030: A Comprehensive Plan Update for the City of Isanti

The City of Isanti updated the 2008 Comprehensive Plan on June 2, 2020,  the full update can be viewed here. 


The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to ensure the orderly growth and development of the City of Isanti while maintaining a sound infrastructure and economy.  Adopted in 2007, the Land Use Plan will serve as a guide to direct development toward established community goals.  It is not intended to be an exact blueprint of the City’s future, but rather a tool to direct, coordinate, and evaluate the City’s growth and to ensure continued orderly development patterns.  The Land Use Plan identifies general areas in the community where commercial, residential, industrial, and open space land uses will be allowed and provide plans, objectives, and policies to encourage a compatible pattern of land uses throughout the City.

The City of Isanti reviews the Land Use Plan on a regular basis to ensure both its timeliness and accuracy in reflecting City land use policy.

Due to the substantial amount of growth and development in recent years, the City of Isanti has initiated a Comprehensive Planning process in an effort to update and make revisions in the current document. The Planning Commission has been working with city staff and planning consultants to draft a new Comprehensive Plan. Updated information in regards to the process and plan components are posted regularly on the City’s website for public review.

Typically, a Comprehensive Plan is updated every 10-15 years. As such, the City of Isanti will begin our Comprehensive Plan Update in 2019.

Copies of the Land Use Plan are available for purchase or review at City Hall. Please contact the Planning and Zoning Division to obtain a copy or to get answers to specific questions regarding future land use within the City.
