***********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (September 22) announced amendments to the draft Kam Tin South Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve rezoning of an area to the east of West Rail Kam Sheung Road Station from "Undetermined" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Rural Use", "Comprehensive Development Area" and "Government, Institution or Community". Amendments have also been made to incorporate two new sets of Notes for "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Rural Use" and "Comprehensive Development Area" zones.
Moreover, revision has been made to the Remarks in the Notes for "Residential (Group C)" zone to specify that covered car park will not be exempted from the site coverage restriction.
The draft Kam Tin South OZP No. S/YL-KTS/10 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 Tuen Mun and Yuen Long District Planning Office, the Yuen Long District Office, the Kam Tin Rural Committee, and the Pat Heung Rural Committee.
Any person can make representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before October 13, 2006. Representations made to the Town Panning Board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft 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 Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
