**********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (December 23) announced amendments to the draft Shek Kip Mei Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involve the rezoning of a site at Kowloon Tong Station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway East Rail from "Government, Institution or Community (3)" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Kowloon-Canton Railway" to reflect the existing use of the site.
Opportunity is also taken to revise the definitions of the "existing use of any land or building" and "existing building" in the covering Notes and the refinement to the planning intention for the "Open Space" zone of the OZP.
The draft Shek Kip Mei OZP No. S/K4/20 incorporating the amendments is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office; and the Sham Shui Po District Office.
Anyone affected by the amendments may submit a written objection to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before January 13, 2006.
Copies of the draft Shek Kip Mei OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan can be viewed on the Town Planning Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
