Reconsideration of Application for Rezoning

Besides, as per the Court’s judgment in a JR, the Board on 18 January 2019 reconsidered the application
(No. Y/H3/6) for proposed rezoning of a site at Sai Ying Pun from “O” and area shown as ‘Pedestrian

Precinct/Street’ to “R(A)” sub-zone, together with a revised scheme and updated technical assessments
submitted by the applicant. The Board partially agreed to the application by rezoning the site to a “R(A)”
sub-zone with stipulation of a maximum building height restriction of 120mPD and the requirement
for provision of a 24-hour public access through the site. 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 5 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.
