YAU MA TEI ZONING PLAN AMENDED
The Town Planning Board has agreed to two amendments to the draft
Outline Zoning Plan for Yau Ma Tei published in June 1971.
One of the amendments is to provide an industrial zone of about 1.8
acres off Cherry Street at the northern end of the typhoon shelter.
This area, which originally formed part of the adjoining open space
zone, could be used for a flatted factory building to be constructed near
the cargo handling area.
The building will house small factories of the type which can be
found operating in breach of lease conditions in commercial residential
properties in the area.
The second amendment extends the government, institution and community
use zoning between Kansu Street and Public Square Street by deleting some
open space zoning.
The purpose of this is to give more flexibility in planning the
complex, but the zone will include open space.
The amended draft plan is now on display until May 3 at the Public
Enquiry Centre, Central Government Offices, West Wing, the Crown Lands and Survey
Office, Kowloon Government Offices, 10th floor, 405 Nathan Road; and at the
Yau Ma Tei City District Office, 260-264 Temple Street, Kowloon.
People having any objections to the amendments should write to the
Secretary of the Board, c/o Crown Landa and Survey Office, Public Works Department,
Murray Building, 18th floor, Hong Kong, before May 3. They should state the
reasons for their objections and propose alterations that would remove them.
