Area Assessment
The area (about 6.9 ha) is located in the Tung Tau Industrial Area, with a total of 17 private industrials buildings. The area had a larger extent before. Based on the recommendation of the 2009 Area Assessments, a portion of about 4.7 ha in the northwest covering seven industrial buildings had been rezoned to “R(E)1” in March 2011. The total industrial stock in the area has therefore decreased from about 0.34 million m2 GFA in 2009 to about 0.21 million m2
in 2014.
In terms of age, 16 out of the 17 buildings are 15-29 years old while the remaining one is 30 years old. In terms of condition, 16 buildings are in fair condition, and the remaining one is in good condition. In terms of height, nine buildings are 1-7 storeys high while the remaining eight have 8-19 storeys. In terms of ownership, nine buildings are under multiple ownership, while the remaining eight are under single ownership. The updated overall vacancy of the area is about 0.8%, which is significantly lower than the 4.7% identified in 2009. Such vacancy is also much lower than the updated territorial figure of 6.0% for all “OU(B)” areas and the average of 3.0% for the two areas in NWNT. No subdivided unit was found in all the 17 buildings. In terms of usage, Warehouse/Storage is still the largest user, taking up about 50.8% of the GFA which is higher than the 46.2% identified in 2009. Office remains the second largest user, occupying about 18.1% of the GFA which is also higher than the 11.2% identified in 2009. Manufacturing/Workshop is the third largest user, occupying about 8.9% of the GFA which is lower than the 9.5% identified in 2009. The GFA for “Other Uses” has increased significantly from about 3.8% in 2009 to about 6.0% in 2014. The major types of uses include shop and services, showroom, research and development/testing centre, eating place and studio, all of which constitute about 4.9% of the GFA. If taking into account the 17 industrial buildings in the subject “OU(B)” area and the 12 industrial buildings in the adjoining Yuen Long “R(E)” area together, the overall vacancy is about 1.0%. Warehouse/Storage use is still the largest user, occupying about 41.1% of the GFA, followed by Office (about 27.6%). Manufacturing/Workshop takes up about 9.3% of the GFA. “Other Uses” account for about 3.4% of the GFA. In terms of employment, about 2,513 workers are estimated to be engaged in the occupied units of the industrial buildings in the area, including about 958 workers (38.1%) in the manufacturing business and about 1,555 workers (61.9%) in the non-manufacturing business. The overall figure accounts for about 3.1% of the total of 80,779 persons engaged (other than those in civil service) in various business/industries in the Yuen Long District identified by C&SD in June 2014. Since the completion of the 2009 Area Assessments, the following two planning approvals have been identified in the area (Plan B19): (a) planning approval for rezoning the site at 8-12 Hi Yip Street for GIC uses; and (b) planning approval for rezoning the site at 21-35 Wang Yip Street East for residential
use.
* Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333. Yuen Long “OU(B)” Area 5
Given the above, in particular the signs of transformation in the area as shown in the above two planning approvals, the low and decreasing vacancy rate of the existing industrial buildings and their increasing percentage of GFA for non-industrial use (about 24.1% for Office and “Other Uses” in total as compared with 15.0% in 2009), it is considered that the area could be retained as “OU(B)” to continue facilitating the land use restructuring.
Recommendation
To retain the area as “OU(B)”.
