Area Assessment The subject area (about 3.5 ha) involves 14 industrial buildings and a concrete batching plant, mixed with the other industrial developments/activities in the two adjoining “CDA” zone, some residential developments and a commercial building in the surroundings (Plan D7). Among the 14 industrial buildings in the area, all of them are 30 years or above. In terms of building condition, nine of them are in fair condition while the remaining five are in poor condition. Eight buildings are 1-7 storeys high and the remaining six are 8-19 storeys high. In terms of ownership, 11 buildings are multiple owned and the remaining three buildings are single owned. The overall vacancy rate is only 1.3%, which is significantly lower than both the territorial figure of 6.0% for all “R(E)” areas and the average of 8.8% for four areas in Kowloon. Only about 1.2% of the units are divided into subunits, involving about 2.7% of the GFA. Warehouse/Storage is the largest use in the area, occupying about 59.3% of the GFA. The second largest use is Manufacturing/Workshop, occupying about 6.9% of the GFA. Office * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333. Yau Tong “R(E)” Area 3 use only takes up about 5.6% of the GFA. If taking into account all 14 industrial buildings in the subject area and the four industrial buildings in the nearby Yau Tong “CDA” area together, the overall vacancy is 3.9%. Warehouse/Storage is still the largest use, occupying about 50.4% of the GFA. The Manufacturing/Workshop and Office uses only take up about 8.6% and 6.4% of the GFA respectively. “Other Uses” account for 2.1% of the GFA. In terms of employment, about 937 workers are estimated to be engaged in the occupied non-subdivided units of the industrial buildings in the area, including about 229 workers (24.4%) in the manufacturing business and about 708 workers (75.6%) in the non-manufacturing business. The overall figure only accounts for about 0.3% of the total of 306,960 persons engaged (other than those in the civil service) in various business/industries in the Kwun Tong District identified by C&SD in June 2014. So far, three sites in the subject “R(E)” zone of the area have been redeveloped for residential use. Another three sites, which include one site in 5 Tung Yuen Street under construction, one industrial building in 28 Sze Shan Street and one vacant site in 13-15 Sze Shan Street, have obtained planning permissions as well as building plan approvals for new residential developments. In view that six sites in the area had been/will be redeveloped for residential use and that the redevelopment of the remaining industrial buildings and concrete batching plant 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 facilitating its future redevelopment for residential use. Recommendation To retain the area as “R(E)”. * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333.
