Draft Mid-levels East Outline Zoning Plan approved
**************************************************
The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Mid-levels East Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Mid-levels East area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (October 10).
The planning scheme area, covering 63.34 hectares of land, is bounded by Kennedy Road to the north, Stubbs Road to the east and Bowen Drive to the west, while the 200-230 metre contour forms its southern limit.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Mid-levels East OZP No. S/H12/13, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at 15 and 24 Stubbs Road and 7 Tung Shan Terrace from "Residential (Group C)1" ("R(C)1"), "Government, Institution or Community (4)" and "Green Belt" to "Residential (Group C)3" and stipulating sub-areas on the OZP to take forward the decision of the Metro Planning Committee of the Town Planning Board on a section 12A application for a proposed residential development with a privately initiated residential care home for the elderly; and (ii) rezoning a site at 18 Stubbs Road from "Comprehensive Development Area" ("CDA") to "Residential (Group C)4" and a strip of government land from "CDA" and "R(C)1" to an area shown as 'Road' to reflect the as-built conditions of various sites.
The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP have been amended taking into account the above amendments. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zones and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Mid-levels East OZP No. S/H12/14 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Hong Kong District Planning Office, and (iv) the Wan Chai Home Affairs Enquiry Centre.
Copies of the approved OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
