ZONING PLANS
*****
THE TOWN PLANNING BOARD HAS APPROVED THE DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO KWAI CHUNG AND TSUEN WAN OUTLINE ZONING PLANS.
BOTH THESE AMENDMENTS ARE PUBLISHED TODAY.
THE KWAI CHUNG PLAN INVOLVES ADJUSTMENTS TO BOUNDARIES AND ZONING IN THE KAU WAH KENG AREA.
THE MAJOR CHANGE IS THE RE-ZONING TO +VILLAGE+ OF A PORTION OF DISTRICT OPEN SPACE TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA TO PERMIT THE RE-SITING OF THE KAU WAH KENG VILLAGE.
FOLLOWING AN ENGINEERING INVESTIGATION, THE EXTENT OF THE RESIDENTIAL (A) ZONE TO THE NORTH OF LAI KING ROAD HAS NOW BEEN CLEARLY DEFINED.
THE AREA WILL BE SERVED BY LOCAL ROADS FROM THE LAI KING ROAD BUT THE THROUGH LINK TO CASTLE PEAK ROAD SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS OUTLINE ZONING PLAN HAS BEEN DELETED.
THE INVESTIGATION HAS ALSO PERMITTED THE OPEN SPACE (PARK STRIP) ZONING LIMITS TO BE CLEARLY DEFINED.
AMENDMENTS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE TO THE PROVISION OF LAND FOR GOVERNMENT USE AND THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY TO THE PLANNING AREA HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE LAI CHI KOK AMUSEMENT PARK AS A GOVERNMENT, INSTITUTION AND COMMUNITY ZONE.
