Citing “political interference,” the city’s zoning examiner has resigned.
Linuz Kafka, who has held the post since 2011, sent a resignation letter to City Manager Mike Ortega Monday. He said he will work through Jan. 9.
“Political interference with the zoning examiner’s process undermines the integrity of land use decisions,” Kafka said in the letter.
“I hope that city management will continue to oppose efforts that undermine the transparency and fairness of land use processes that involve public input,” Kafka wrote to Ortega.
