What this means
The commission changed the official zoning of a 1.8‑acre property on Poplar Street from office/institutional to low‑density single‑family residential. That change aligns the zoning with the property's long‑standing use as a single‑family home and should make it simpler for the owner or heirs to sell the property for residential use. City staff said the rezoning fits the city's planning goals and there were no public objections.
