The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Mong Kok Outline Zoning Plan in which a 0.04-hectare site is designated as a "Comprehensive Development Area" to preserve the existing Hung Shing Temple compound and nearby mature tree.

According to the plan, the site will be redeveloped for residential/commercial uses.

Covering about 147 hectares, the Mong Kok planning zone is located in West Kowloon. A total area of 42.3 hectares is zoned "Residential (Group A)" for high-density residential developments.

About 2.6 hectares of land in the Tai Kok Tsui area is zoned "Residential (Group E)" to encourage the phasing out of existing industrial uses through redevelopment for residential purpose.

Community facilities

An area of 13.8 hectares is zoned "Government, Institution or Community" for the development of Government uses and other community facilities.

Major existing facilities within this zone include the Mong Kok Stadium, Queen Elizabeth II Youth Centre, Mong Kok District Police Headquarters, the Kowloon depot of the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department and a Government complex at Fuk Tsun Street.

A total of 10.6 hectares of land is zoned "Other Specified Uses". They include the "Other Specified Uses (Business)" zone and other "Other Specified Uses" sites earmarked for the funeral parlour at Maple Street, five petrol filling stations, the land for the Kowloon-Canton Railway, a commercial/office/hotel development at the KCR Mong Kok Station, the Lui Seng Chun building, and a site at Sai Yee Street zoned for the development of a multi-storey car/lorry park.

An area of 7.9 hectares is zoned "Commercial" for commercial developments. This zoning mainly covers sites on both sides of Nathan Road and a commercial and multi-storey car/lorry park development.

Recreational area

About 8.6 hectares of land is zoned "Open Space" to provide active and passive recreational uses. Major existing open spaces include the Boundary Street Sports Ground, Macpherson Playground, Lok Kwan Street Park and the playgrounds at Willow Street, Anchor Street, Tong Mi Road/Canton Road, Mong Kok Road, Thistle Street and Sai Yee Street.

Two urban-renewal redevelopment schemes, with about two hectares of land, are designated within the area.

The Argyle Street/Shanghai Street Development Scheme has been completed. It is a commercial/office/hotel development with a public open space, a neighbourhood community centre, a cooked food centre and a public light bus terminus.

The Cherry Street Development Scheme is planned for a commercial/residential development with "Government, Institution or Community" facilities.
