Tiffin Comprehensive Plan – Updated 2018

Appendix In addition, a survey was sent out to every address in the community along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to return the survey. All told, it was sent to 1,050 addresses with 282 surveys returned. This represents nearly a 27% response rate – a tremendous response, indicating the value Tiffin’ residents place on planning. Due to the voluminous nature of the survey results and the written public comments gathered in the survey, they are not being included in the plan. The survey results and all public comments will be made available at city hall and on the city’s website. The information gathered from the survey was instrumental in the creation of this comprehensive plan. ECICOG thanks all the respondents who are a large part of this plan. During the 2018 update of this plan, it was discussed by the city whether or not to undertake additional community-wide surveys and town meetings. It was decided not to gather additional public input for the following reasons:  The data will not likely have changed due to the short time between the original surveys and meetings and the 2018 update.  The city has grown in population, however, the demographics have not changed significantly.  Having additional surveys and meetings would have added significantly to the cost of the plan’s update. With the data not likely changing, it was felt that is was best to continue to use the 2014 public input. There was still extensive opportunities for public comment during the 2018 update, including several Planning and Zoning Commission work-sessions, and two public hearings on the plan.
