Draft North Point Outline Zoning Plan amended

The Town Planning Board today (Friday) announced two amendments to the draft North Point Outline Zoning Plan.

"As the existing Causeway Bay Police Station at Electric Road is no longer required by the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, part of the site, with an area of 0.13 hectare, has been rezoned to 'Commercial' and the remaining 0.06 hectare of the site to 'Open Space'," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said.

Another amendment is to rezone a 0.25-hectare site near the junction of Tong Shui Road and Wharf Road from "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Comprehensive Redevelopment Area" to "Government/Institution/Community" ("G/IC").

"A site at Oil Street currently occupied by the Government Supplies Department as office and storage depot has been rezoned from 'G/IC' to 'Comprehensive Development Area' ('CDA').

"The 'CDA' site, with an area of 1.16 hectares, will include a mix of office, hotel, carpark, open space, retail and residential development," the spokesman added.

Technical amendment includes the addition of a set of new Notes for the "CDA" zoning.
