****************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (July 28) announced amendments to the draft South West Kowloon Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve rezoning of a site at the junction of Lai Chi Kok Road/Sham Mong Road from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Petrol Filling Station" ("PFS"), revision to the Notes for the "OU" zone to incorporate the new Notes for "PFS" and revisions to the Notes for the "Industrial" zone.
Opportunity is also taken to update the Explanatory Statement of the OZP, in particular the part on West Kowloon Cultural District to reflect the latest position.
The draft South West Kowloon OZP No. S/K20/18 incorporating the amendments is now available for public inspection during normal 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, the Sham Shui Po District Office and the Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
Any person affected by the amendments can submit a written objection to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board by August 18, 2006.
Copies of the draft South West Kowloon OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
