Bigger Taikoo Shing business zone mooted
*

The Town Planning Board has proposed amendments to the draft Quarry Bay Outline Zoning Plan, which seek to expand the commercial zone in Taikoo Shing.

 

The amendments involve rezoning a piece of land to the south of Taikoo Shing Road near the junction of Tai Mou Avenue from 'Commercial/Residential' to 'Commercial', and another piece of land next to Cityplaza from an area designated as 'Road' to 'Commercial'.

 

The board said the amendments reflect the land's proposed commercial use, adding there is no plan to develop the area shown as 'Road' into a public road. The area will form part of the redevelopment site for commercial development.

 

The land, together with the adjoining Cityplaza 1, will form a continuous commercial zone, it said.
