********************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (January 18) announced amendments to the approved Pak Shek Kok (East) Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involved the rezoning of a site to the west of Fo Yin Road from "Recreation", "Open Space" and areas shown as "Road" to "Residential (Group B)5" and "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Science Park" to provide land for medium-density residential development and future expansion of the Hong Kong Science Park. Other amendments included the rezoning of a site bounded by Fo Shing Road and Chong San Road from "Open Space" to "Government, Institution or Community" to reflect the as-built situation, the incorporation of a non-building area in the "Residential (Group B)4" zone and the rationalisation of zoning boundaries.
The draft Pak Shek Kok (East) OZP No. S/PSK/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 of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Sha Tin, Tai Po and North District Planning Office, the Sha Tin District Office, the Tai Po District Office, the Sha Tin Rural Committee and the Tai Po Rural Committee.
Any person can make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before March 18. 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).
