TSIM SHA TSUI OUTLINE ZONING PLAN TO BE REVISED

******

THE OUTLINE ZONING PLAN FOR TSIM SHA TSUI HAS BEEN REFERRED BACK TO THE TOWN PLANNING BOARD FOR REPLACEMENT BY A NEW PLAN. THE MOVE WAS ORDERED BY THE GOVERNOR ON THE ADVICE OF THE

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND IS PUBLISHED IN TODAY'S GAZETTE FOR

GENERAL INFORMATION.

SINCE THE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN IN LATE 1967,

A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING ROAD RE-ALIGNMENTS AND ALTERATIONS IN THE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC AMENITIES, HAVE NECESSITATED THE

RECONSIDERATION OF SOME OF THE PREVIOUS ZONING PROPOSALS.

THE BOARD WILL BE CONSIDERING PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS FOR A

NEW DRAFT PLAN IN DUE COURSE. IT WILL THEN BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE PROVISION OF THE TOWN PLANNING ORDINANCE AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHOSE INTERESTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE ZONING PROPOSALS

WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT OBJECTIONS.
