Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Implementation and Administration Development Review Since the plan should be used as a guide for future growth, some developments will inevitably differ from the vision of the plan. In such cases, the plan may need to be updated. When reviewing all development proposals, the criteria for evaluation, is as follows:  Consider Iowa’s smart planning principles and elements  Consider overall city goals  Consider general city objectives and strategies  Plan Maps Every attempt shall be made to satisfy the above criteria. However, if a development proposal cannot satisfy all of the criteria, yet is still deemed worthy to benefit Tiffin, the Plan will need to be amended before the development proposal is approved. Because a request to amend the plan will likely occur during the development proposal review process, both actions may occur simultaneously.
