The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Ma Tau Kok Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide development and redevelopment in the Ma Tau Kok area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (January 15).
The planning scheme area, covering about 139 hectares, is located in Central Kowloon within Kowloon City District and generally bounded by Tung Tau Tsuen Road to the north, To Kwa Wan Road/Yuk Yat Street to the east, San Lau Street to the south, and Tin Kwong Road to the west.
Ma Tau Kok is predominately a residential area with the provision of government, institution or community facilities and public open space.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments made to the draft OZP No. S/K10/25, which mainly reflected the updated Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans. An area replaced by the Urban Renewal Authority Kai Tak Road/Sa Po Road Development Scheme Plan was also indicated on the OZP.
The zonings shown on the OZP include "Commercial", "Comprehensive Development Area", "Residential (Group A)", "Residential (Group B)", "Residential (Group E)", "Government, Institution or Community", "Open Space", "Other Specified Uses" ("OU") annotated "Sports and Recreation Club" and "OU" annotated "Commercial Development with Public Vehicle Park".
The approved Ma Tau Kok OZP No. S/K10/26 is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Kowloon District Planning Office and the Kowloon City District Office.
Copies of the approved plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan can be viewed at the Town Planning Board’s website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
