Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Land Use Future Growth Areas The future growth areas for the City of Tiffin are designated on the Future Land Use Map. They are split into two distinct phasings. The first phase contains the city’s primary growth area during the life of this plan. This area is contiguous to the city and where immediate development proposals should be focused. It also generally defines the geographical limit of existing government-supplied public facilities and services. The city’s annexation priorities are located within the Phase One Growth Area. The second phase is the long-term growth corridor area. This area should only be developed as the first phase reaches build-out. This is shown on the map to ensure that the city has a future growth corridor planned for well after the life of this document. It is likely that the city will need to utilize Phase One (the primary growth area) to accommodate appropriate future development during the life of this Plan. Therefore, all land to be annexed for future growth should be located within this corridor, as shown on the Future Land Use Map. If, during the life of this plan, trends or priorities change, the city should update its future growth area to include new annexation possibilities. The change should also be made to any fringe-area agreement with Johnson County, as well. New development in Tiffin, 2014 By staying within the primary growth area, the city will protect valuable environmentally sensitive ground and prime farmland from unwanted development, while meeting projected land use needs.
