Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Introduction The Planning Process Provisions should be made for amending this document as policies and data become outdated. This authority should be used with discretion, however, since much of its value can easily be lost through frequent or arbitrary changes. Amendments may be proposed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council, or by concerned citizens. Any proposal must always be referred to the zoning commission for consideration and recommendation to the Council. The planning process should be an ongoing endeavor. As such, an update to this plan was completed in 2018. The success of this plan will require the support of citizens as well as the City Council. Cooperation from the public and private sectors will provide long-term benefits to the entire planning area and ultimately the City of Tiffin. Since the planning process is ongoing, it is important to identify a preferred vision for the future of Tiffin. Based on the input from the planning committee and results of the community-wide survey, it was felt the overriding policy statement should be as follows: Growth and development should continue within and around Tiffin but not at the detriment of the existing community. The goals and policies contained in this comprehensive plan will allow the city to manage the significant growth projected for Tiffin while maintaining the existing character residents have come to enjoy. Due to its prime location at the crossroads of the heartland which likely drive future growth, Tiffin has become known as a growing community under development.
