The Town Planning Board today (June 14) announced amendments to the approved Tsing Yi Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
 
     The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site to the southeast of Tsing Sheung Road from "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Marine-related Uses" to "OU" annotated "Container Related Uses", and incorporation of related land and sea areas into the planning scheme area and zoning the areas as "OU" annotated "Container Related Uses" for barge berthing with supporting container storage and ancillary facilities. 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, where appropriate.
 
     The draft Tsing Yi OZP No. S/TY/29, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office, and (iv) Kwai Tsing District Office.
 
     Any person may make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before August 14. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the revised Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B) promulgated in November 2018 and taking effect in 2019.
