The Town Planning Board today (March 22) announced amendments to the approved Mong Kok Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     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.

     The draft Mong Kok OZP No. S/K3/37, 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 Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office and (iv) the Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
      
     Any person may make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before May 22. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29C on "Submission and Processing of Representations and Further Representations" (TPB PG-No. 29C).

     Submission of a representation should comply with the requirements set out in TPB PG-No. 29C. In particular, the representer should take note of the following:
