Area Assessment :

The vacancy rate of the area (4.7%) is low when compared with the territorial rate of 8.4%. The floor space in these industrial buildings is predominately used for warehouse, manufacturing and other industrial operations (55.7%) with only 11.2% of the floor space taken up by ancillary office and office operations. The industrial buildings are generally in fair to good conditions. All the existing 24 buildings are below 30 years and most of them are under single ownership.

Up to end 2009, no planning application for non-industrial development has been received and no lease modification for non-industrial use has been executed for any site in the area.

Most sites to the west of Wang Yip Street West and to the north of Tak Yip Street (about 3.9 ha in total) (see Plan B18c) are either Government land or under single ownership. Three out of the seven existing buildings are seven storeys or below and the remaining four are 19 storeys or below. Located at the periphery of the industrial area and adjacent to an open nullah1, this part of the industrial area has potential for residential uses with commercial facilities. Consideration may be given to rezoning the site to “R(E)” which would be compatible with the “CDA” zone to the south and the “Residential (Group D)” zone and an “Other Specified Uses” annotated “Comprehensive Development to Include Wetland Restoration Area” zone to the north.

Recommendation :

To rezone the sites to the west of Wang Yip Street West and to the north of Tak Yip Street (about 3.9 ha in total) to “R(E)” for residential use with commercial facilities (see Plan B18c).

1 Under the Feasibility Study on Rehabilitation of Yuen Long Nullahs (2009) conducted by the Drainage Services Department, proposals have been made to improve the water quality, resolve the odour concern and beautify the nullah.
