Approved Mong Kok Outline Zoning Plan amended
*********************************************
The amendments mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at 56 Fuk Tsun Street from "Comprehensive Development Area (1)" to "Residential (Group A)" ("R(A)"); (ii) rezoning a portion of Mong Kok Road Playground and a strip of land to its immediate north from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Open Space" and "R(A)" respectively to reflect the as-built condition and to rationalise the zoning boundaries; and (iii) removing the building height restriction on the sites of Mong Kok Road refuse collection point cum public toilet and Canton Road 1106 substation.
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.
