[Tex/LaTex] Control line space between an itemize list and next line

itemizeline-spacinglists

I am unable to control the line spacing between the last line of itemize and the next line as shown in the figure. Can someone suggest a solution to fix this please? I also would like to know if I can get more compact list.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,oneside]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=0.9in,right=0.9in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}


\begin{document}

    \scriptsize
    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
        \begin{longtable}[t]{|p{1.0cm}|p{5.5cm}|}
            \hline
            \bf{Head 1} & \textbf{Head 2} \\\hline\hline 
            \texttt{A} & Department 
            \begin{itemize} \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
                \item \texttt{A} - Apple
                \item \texttt{B} - Boy
                \item \texttt{C} - Cat
                \item \texttt{D} - Dog
            \end{itemize}\\
            \texttt{E} &  Elephant \\   
            \texttt{F} &  Fan \\   
            \hline
        \end{longtable}
    \end{minipage}%

\end{document}

Two variations on the layout. I reduced the indent of the list and the vertical spacing w.r.t. the surrounding text.

Note an optional argument to a command or an environment, has be delimited by a pair of brackets ([option]), not between a pair of bracket commands (\[option\]). Also font commands such as \bf have been deprecated for more than 20 years. Use the \textbf{…} command instead or the \bfseries switch.

Last, not least, as @Zarko pointed, a long table is made to break across pages, and a minipage cannot. You can use the multicols environment instead.
