3 Other Major Work of 2018-2020

Urban Renewal and Heritage Preservation

Incorporation of URA Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street Development Scheme Plan
into Outline Zoning Plan

As announced in the 2018 Policy Address, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) carried out a study
with a view to revitalisi ng the building clusters with special character and urban fabric under the
Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street project so as to promote place-making and synergise with the nearby
revitalisation projects. On 19 July 2019, the Board considered the revitalisation proposal submitted
by URA and agreed to incorporate the Development Scheme Plan (DSP) area into the OZP under

appropriate zonings to maintain planning control whilst allowing flexibility for revitalisation of the area
by both URA and the owners of other properties within the DSP and the Wing Lee Street area. The DSP
area was mainly designated as “OU” annotated “Cultural, Community, Commercial and Open Space
Uses” and “OU” annotated “Residential, Institutional and Commercial Uses” zones with stipulation of
a maximum building height restriction of 4 storeys to facilitate the development of a community hub
and revitalise the area for residential, institutional and community uses. On 9 August 2019, the draft
Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan OZP No. S/H3/33, incorporating the amendments amongst others, was
exhibited for public inspection under section 7 of the Ordinance.

After giving consideration to the 57 representations and 25 comments on 17 July 2020, the Board
decided not to uphold the representations. The draft OZP was approved by the CE in C on 3 November
2020 and renumbered as S/H3/34.
