Summary
The city bought the former Mercy Health building to move municipal services there, but the property's zoning (office/service and single-family residential) doesn't allow that use. Rezoning to 'institutional' fixes that and lets the city comply with its own rules. The Planning Commission unanimously backed it in August.
