The Town Planning Board (the Board) today (December 12) announced amendments to the approved Lam Tei and Yick Yuen Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of an area to the east of Fuk Hang Tseun Road from "Residential (Group C)" ("R(C)"), "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") and "Residential (Group D)" ("R(D)") to "Government, Institution or Community (1)" ("G/IC(1)") for elderly care services; and the rezoning of an area mainly beneath an elevated section of Kong Sham Western Highway from "R(C)", "R(D)" and "G/IC" to an area shown as "Road" to reflect the completed Kong Sham Western Highway. The Notes and the Explanatory Statement of the OZP are also amended to mainly reflect the corresponding amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings.
