Lafayette planning commissioner announces resignation after more than eight years on commission
Summary
A Lafayette planning commissioner announced May 5 that he is resigning because he is moving out of the city; colleagues praised his service and leadership during the meeting.
Commissioner Haising told the Planning Commission on May 5 that the meeting would be his last because he is moving out of Lafayette and will no longer be a city resident. Haising said he was resigning his seat and thanked fellow commissioners and staff for the opportunity to serve.
Colleagues and staff responded with praise for Haising's years of service. The chair said Haising began service on Oct. 3, 2016, and noted his steady professionalism and willingness to explain reasons behind commission actions. Other commissioners called him a stabilizing presence who ensured all applicants and members of the public felt heard.
Haising did not specify a replacement process or timeline during the meeting. The planning director and commissioners expressed appreciation and wished him well; several colleagues offered brief personal remarks about his mentorship and leadership.
The resignation was announced during the commissioners' reports portion of the agenda and followed the planning commission's action on the ZT01-25 housing element implementation item earlier in the meeting.
