Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Profile and Analysis New Housing Development When new housing development occurs, it should, wherever possible occur as infill development within the existing city limits. As infill possibilities are exhausted, development should then occur incrementally, or contiguous to existing development. Growth of this nature will reduce capital outlay and maintenance costs to the city by allowing short, economical extensions of municipal infrastructure (sewer, water, street, sidewalk, etc.) which serve the new neighborhoods. Incremental housing growth will also save open land and areas better suited for agricultural or other use. As residential development occurs, the city should insure that each new growth area can reasonably flow into the existing community. Points made during the town meeting / survey indicated that there is a divide New development on the outskirts of Tiffin, 2014 between the older section of town and the new developments. The city should strive to connect all parts of town during the life of this plan. This will be discussed further in the Land Use section of the plan.
