The Town Planning Board today (May 4) announced amendments to the draft Sai Kung Town Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
One of the amendments is the rezoning of an area at Mei Yuen Street from "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") to "Other Specified Uses" annotated 'Town Square with Recreational, Community and Commercial Uses'.
Amendments have also been made to some "G/IC" sites. These include the rezoning of seven areas to "G/IC(1)"; rezoning of eight areas to "G/IC(2)"; rezoning of an area to "G/IC(3)"; rezoning of three areas to "G/IC(4)"; and rezoning of the Sai Kung Government Offices at Chan Man Street to "G/IC(5)".
The Notes of the OZP have also been amended to include a set of Notes for the "Other Specified Uses" annotated 'Town Square with Recreational, Community and Commercial Uses' zone and revise the Notes for the "G/IC" zone to include building height restrictions for different sub-areas.
