**************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (January 4) announced amendments to the approved Tsim Sha Tsui Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involved rezoning the site currently occupied by the Middle Road Multi-storey Car Park Building from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Commercial (11)" and an area shown as "Road" for a proposed commercial development with a public car park and to reflect the as-built situation of Middle Road. The opportunity has also been taken to incorporate some technical amendments to the Notes for various zones to better reflect the planning intentions and intended control for the relevant zones.
The draft Tsim Sha Tsui OZP No. S/K1/27, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office and the Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
Any person can make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before March 4. Representations made to the Town Planning 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 OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
