Area Assessment

The area (about 0.6 ha) covers two godown buildings with associated wharf facilities zoned “OU” annotated “Pier” (Plan A1). The area, which is to the north of the Kennedy Town “R(E)” area (Site D1). In the 2009 Area Assessments, it was proposed to be rezoned for other environmentally compatible use(s), subject to the recommendations of the Land Use Review on the Western Part of Kennedy Town (the Land Use Review) undertaken by PlanD. According to the revised land use proposal of the Land Use Review briefed to the Central and Western District Council in March 2015, the subject area is proposed mainly for commercial, leisure and tourism-related uses.

Without any addition or demolition of the existing industrial buildings since the completion of the 2009 Area Assessments, the total industrial stock in the area remains at about 0.05 million m2 GFA. Both godown buildings in the area are under single ownership and in fair condition. One building is 29 years old and has 13 storeys, while another one is 25 years old and has 16 storeys.

Same as the 2009 Area Assessments, both godown buildings are found fully occupied in the latest survey. No subdivided unit was found in both buildings. In terms of usage, all the GFA is still predominantly for Warehouse/Storage use.

If taking into account the two godown buildings in the subject “I” area and the two industrial buildings in the nearby Kennedy Town “R(E)” area together, the overall vacancy is about 0.6% only. Warehouse/Storage is still the largest user, occupying about 89.6% of

* Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333.

Kennedy Town “I” Area 3 the GFA, followed by Office (about 2.9%) and Manufacturing/Workshop (about 2.7%). “Other Uses” account for 0.8% of the GFA.

In terms of employment, about 80 workers are estimated to be engaged in the two godown buildings in the subject “I” area, all in non-manufacturing industry. The figure is insignificant as compared to the total of 360,718 persons engaged (other than those in the civil service) in various business/industries in the Central and Western District identified by C&SD in June 2014.

So far, there has been no planning approval or building plan approval for proposed redevelopment/wholesale conversion of the existing industrial buildings in the area.

Given the above, the area is recommended for rezoning for commercial, leisure and tourism-related uses in accordance with the revised land use proposal of the Land Use Review.

Recommendation

To rezone the area for commercial, leisure and tourism-related uses in accordance with the revised land use proposal of the Land Use Review.
