Dennis Gordon, Councillor for the Maxfield Park Division, has relinquished the chairmanship of the Finance Committee at the Kingston & St Andrew Municipal Corporation[KSAMC] and withdrawn from its Building & Town Planning Committee.
It follows an investigation by the KSAMC into the approval process for a development on Lyndhurst Road involving Mr Gordon's company, JACDEN Group.
The Integrity Commission is also investigating the matter.
A cease-work order was placed on the development in November 2023, after it was discovered that the structure was a three-storey building, exceeding the two storeys specified in the application.
In a media release on Saturday, Mr Gordon said his decision was made in recognition of and support for the efforts of the current administration of the KSAMC to strengthen governance procedures.
He added that his company has taken the required steps to regularize the status of the development.
