***********************************************
The amendments mainly involve (i) rezoning a site on On Chun Street from "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Hotel" to "Residential (Group A)12" to take forward the decision of the Rural and New Town Planning Committee of the Town Planning Board on a Section 12A application, (ii) rezoning two sites in the southwestern and southeastern parts of Whitehead headland from "Comprehensive Development Area (2)" and "Comprehensive Development Area (3)" to "Residential (Group C)4" and "Residential (Group C)5" respectively to reflect the completed residential developments, and (iii) rezoning an area from "OU" annotated "Pedestrian Link with Retail Facilities" across Ma On Shan Road to an area shown as 'Road' to reflect the relocation of a proposed footbridge.
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 and the planning scheme area, where appropriate.
