     The Town Planning Board today (May 21) announced amendments to the approved Ma Tau Kok Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site at 128 Carpenter Road from "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Commercial Development with Public Vehicle Park" to "Residential (Group A) 4" for a composite commercial/residential development, to take forward the decision of the Metro Planning Committee of the Board on an s.12A application. Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning area, where appropriate.

     The draft Ma Tau Kok OZP No. S/K10/27, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Kowloon District Planning Office and (iv) the Kowloon City District Office.

     Any person may make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before July 21. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the revised Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B).

     Submission of a representation should comply with the requirements set out in TPB PG-No. 29B. In particular, the representer should take note of the following:
 
* If the representer fails to provide his or her full name and the first four alphanumeric characters of his or her Hong Kong identity card or passport number as required under TPB PG-No. 29B, the representation submitted shall be treated as not having been made; and
* The Secretariat of the Board reserves the right to require the representer to provide identity proof for verification.
 
     The Guidelines and the submission form are available at locations (i) and (ii) above and the Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
