     The Town Planning Board today (July 18) announced amendments to the approved Kwun Tong (South) Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site abutting both Hiu Ming Street and Hiu Kwong Street from "Open Space" and "Green Belt" to "Residential (Group A)" with stipulation of building height restrictions. Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings.
