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

Yau Tong Ventilation Building

To take forward MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL)’s proposal for residential
development at the Yau Tong Ventilation Building site and the adjoining Government
land, the Board agreed on 10 June 2016 to rezone the site from “OU” annotated
“Ventilation Building”, “G/IC” and “GB” to “Residential (Group A)7” (“R(A)7”),
“R(A)” and an area shown as ‘Road’ to facilitate the proposed development. The
draft Cha Kwo Ling, Yau Tong, Lei Yue Mun OZP No. S/K15/24 incorporating
amendments, inter alia, was exhibited for public inspection on 24 June 2016. Both
“R(A)7” and “R(A)” sites were subject to a maximum domestic/total plot ratio of 7.5/9
and a maximum building height of 190mPD and 170mPD respectively. One of the
residential towers would be developed on top of the ventilation building without
affecting its operation.

After giving consideration to the 456 representations and two comments, the
Board on 6 January 2017 decided not to propose any amendment to the draft OZP.
The draft OZP was approved by the CE in C on 11 April 2017 and renumbered as
S/K15/25.
