Area Assessment The subject area (about 2.5 ha) involves two groups of private industrial buildings. One group comprises four buildings at Kwok Shui Road to the north, while another group comprises one building at Kin Chuen Street in the south (Plan D8). It is largely mixed by the industrial, residential and hotel developments, village, government, institution and community uses and open space, including (i) the industrial buildings in the adjoining Castle Peak Road/Wo Yi Hop Road “OU(B)” area (Site B11) to its immediate east and to the south on the opposite side of Castle Peak Road – Kwai Chung; (ii) residential developments at Kwok Shui Road and (iii) a new hotel development under revitalization policy at Kin Chuen Street. All five industrial buildings are between 8 and 19 storeys high. Except one building is 22 years old, the remaining four buildings are 30 years or above. In terms of building condition, four of them are in fair condition, while the remaining one is in poor condition. In terms of ownership, three buildings are multiple owned and the remaining two buildings are single owned. The overall vacancy rate of the subject area is 0.2%, which is lower than both the territorial figure of 6.0% for all “R(E)” areas and the average of 1.1% for three areas in Kwai Tsing/Tsuen Wan. No subdivided unit was found in all the buildings. Warehouse/Storage * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333. Castle Peak Road/Wo Yi Hop Road “R(E)” Area 3 is the largest use, occupying about 81.0% of the GFA. The second largest use is Manufacturing/Workshop but it only takes up about 12.1% of the GFA. Office use occupies about 6.2% of the GFA. “Other Uses” account for about 0.3% of the GFA, which is only used for showroom. If taking into account the two industrial buildings in the subject “R(E)” area and the 71 industrial buildings in the adjoining Castle Peak Road/Wo Yi Hop Road “OU(B)” area together, the overall vacancy rate is about 5.0%. Warehouse/Storage is still the largest use, occupying about 59.3% of the GFA, to be followed by Office, taking up about 17.1% of the GFA. Manufacturing/Workshop takes up about 7.2% of the GFA. “Other Uses” account for about 2.1% of the GFA. In terms of employment, about 1,877 workers are estimated to be engaged in the occupied non-subdivided units of the industrial buildings in the area, including about 664 workers (35.4%) in the manufacturing business and about 1,213 workers (64.6%) in the non-manufacturing business. The overall figure only accounts for about 1.6% of the total of 114,790 persons engaged (other than those in the civil service) in various business/industries in the Tsuen Wan District identified by C&SD in June 2014. So far, there is no planning or building plan approval for any redevelopment or wholesale conversion of concerned industrial building. However, two sites adjoining the four industrial buildings at Kwok Shui Road, which are at 63 Yau Ma Hom Road and 1-11 Fu Uk Road in the subject “R(E)” zone respectively, have been/will be redeveloped for residential use with planning permissions and building plan approvals. In view that two sites in the area will be redeveloped for residential use and that the redevelopment of the remaining five industrial buildings would still be subject to I/R interface problems, it is considered appropriate to retain the existing “R(E)” zoning of the area to continue encourage redevelopment for residential use which will help reduce I/R interface problems. Recommendation To retain the area as “R(E)”. * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333.
