The Town Planning Board today (February 2) announced amendments to the approved Mid-levels East Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at 15 and 24 Stubbs Road and 7 Tung Shan Terrace from "Residential (Group C)1" ("R(C)1"), "Government, Institution or Community (4)" and "Green Belt" to "Residential (Group C)3" and stipulating Sub-areas on the OZP to take forward the decision of the Metro Planning Committee of the Town Planning Board on a Section 12A application for a proposed residential development with a privately-initiated residential care home for the elderly; and (ii) rezoning a site at 18 Stubbs Road from "Comprehensive Development Area" ("CDA") to "Residential (Group C)4" and a strip of Government land from "CDA" and "R(C)1" to area shown as 'Road' to reflect the as-built conditions of various sites. 

     The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP are amended to take into account the above amendments. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zones and the planning scheme area, where appropriate

     The draft Mid-levels East OZP No. S/H12/13, incorporating the amendments, is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Hong Kong District Planning Office and (iv) the Wan Chai Home Affairs Enquiry Centre.
