     The Town Planning Board today (May 9) announced amendments to the draft Kwai Chung Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site at Tsing Tsuen Road from "Industrial" ("I") to "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Columbarium" for a proposed public columbarium development, a site at No. 2 to 6 Wing Lap Street from "I" to "OU" annotated "Columbarium (1)" for a proposed private columbarium development, and a site at Tai Lin Pai Road from "Government, Institution or Community (1)" to "Commercial (3)" for proposed commercial use. Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zones.
