Part 2 Highlights of 2015-2017 Town Planning Board Report 2015 - 2017 19

The 10 “O” sites included the sites at the junctions of Victoria Road/Cadogan Street
in Kennedy Town, Chai Wan Road/Wing Ping Street/San Ha Street in Chai Wan,
Hang Kin Street/Hang Ming Street in Ma On Shan, Tsing Hung Road in Tsing Yi, On
Muk Street in Sha Tin, Wang Chiu Road in Kowloon Bay, west of Long Tin Road in
Tong Yan San Tsuen, two sites in Pok Fu Lam and a site abutting Wong Chu Road in
Tuen Mun.

After giving consideration to the representations and comments against the
proposed zoning amendments of the Tsing Yi and Kennedy Town & Mount Davis
OZPs, the Board had agreed to rezone two proposed residential sites* back to their
original “O” zoning.

A total of 186 further representations objected to the proposed amendment to revert
the zoning of the site at On Mok Street from “Residential (Group A)6” (“R(A)6”) to
“O” for the draft Sha Tin OZP were received. On 12 February 2018, in view of the
pressing housing need, the Board agreed that priority should be given to public
housing development and the “R(A)6” zoning for the site was appropriate.

Increasing Development Intensity in Kai Tak Development

The Review Study of Kai Tak Development (KTD) confirming the technical
feasibility and environmental viability of increasing office and housing supply
as well as enhancing the land use planning in KTD was completed by the
Government in 2016. The Board was briefed on the findings of the Review Study
on 24 October 2016. Members provided views on the proposals recommended
under the Review Study including the adoption of a maximum domestic plot ratio
of 6.5 for KTD in general. Members also noted that the proposal of increasing the
development intensity would not have significant impacts on the capacity of the
infrastructures and the provision of other community facilities, nor give rise to any
unacceptable noise, air ventilation and visual impacts. The proposal would increase
2
the total domestic gross floor area (GFA) of KTD to 2,900,000 m which would
contribute towards meeting the community’s imminent housing demand.
