Draft Chek Lap Kok Outline Zoning Plan approved
***********************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Chek Lap Kok area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (January 20).
The planning scheme area, with a total area of about 2 095 hectares, covers the existing airport island and the reclamation for the third runway of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), the Hong Kong Port (HKP), part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong Link Road and the Southern Landfall of Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Link at Chek Lap Kok. It is located off the north shore of Lantau and separated physically from the new town development in Tung Chung by a 200 metre-wide water channel.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments made to the draft Chek Lap Kok OZP No. S/I-CLK/15, which mainly involve the following items:
(i) Rezoning an area at HKP from "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Boundary Crossing Facilities" and an area shown as 'Road' to "OU" annotated "Boundary Crossing Facilities and Airport-related Supporting Uses" and deletion of building height restriction;
(ii) Deletion of building height restrictions for "OU" annotated "Ventilation Building" and "OU" annotated "Satellite Control Building" zones at HKP;
(iii) Rezoning a strip of land at the eastern coastal area of airport island from "OU" annotated "Amenity Area", "OU" annotated "Highways Maintenance Area" and an area shown as 'Road' to "Commercial" ("C") and deletion of building height restriction;
(iv) Deletion of building height restriction for "OU" annotated "Highways Maintenance Area" zone at the eastern coastal area of airport island;
(v) Rezoning a site to the east of the airport proper from "OU" annotated "Airport" to "OU" annotated "Airport Service Area";
(vi) Rezoning a site to the north of HKIA Terminal 1 near Cheong Hong Road from "OU" annotated "Airport" to "C"; and
(vii) Excision of an area zoned "OU" annotated "Sea Rescue Station" from the planning scheme area.
The approved Chek Lap Kok OZP No. S/I-CLK/16 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Sai Kung and Islands District Planning Office and (iv) the Islands District Office and its sub-offices in Mui Wo and Tung Chung.
