The institutions that serve a neighborhood. Schools, hospitals, houses of worship, libraries, museums, and residential care homes. Used by nonprofits, religious congregations, school operators, and healthcare providers, not typical retail businesses. It splits into places where people sleep overnight (like a nursing home) and places they don't (like a library). Allowed by default in 146 zoning districts, so these often get an easier path than commercial uses.
