A maximumBuilding Height of 100mPD for area zoned “R(A)” in the innerpart of the Lei King Wan area to follow the stepped height profile.(b) A maximum Building Height of 90mPD for “R(A)” and “C” sitesto the immediate south of the Quarry Bay Park to retain the openview to and from the Quarry Bay Park.(c) A maximum Building Height of 105mPD for “R(A)” sites inbetween Taikoo Wan Road and Taikoo Shing Road following astepped height profile. It also applied for the “R(A)” sites to theeast of King’s Road and in close proximity to the Quarry Bay Park.(d) A maximum Building Height of 120mPD for areas covering the“R(A)” sites mainly along both sides of the King’s Road. The“R(B)” sites south of King’s Road and Kornhill Road, includingthe Floridian and No. 1-10 Sai Wan Terrace are also subject to thisheight restriction which follows a stepped height profile.(e) A maximum Building Height of 135mPD for the “R(A)” sitecovering the Kornvill and “R(B)” sites on the south-western part ofthe Area including Mount Parker Lodge, Nam Fung Sun Chuenand Block H of the Kornhill(Upper) development. The “R(B)”site are located on a higher platform at the foothill area and thebuilding height band follows a stepped height profile.(f) A maximum Building Height of 150mPD and 165mPD forresidential blocks of the Kornhill (Upper) development locatedwithin the “R(B)” zone. The two height bands follow the steppedheight profile along the rising topography to the uphill area.(g) A maximum Building Height of 160mPD for a waterfront siteoccupied by “OU(Residential cum Public Transport Terminus,Commercial and community Facilities)” zone covering the Grandpromenade development. Taking into consideration its prominentlocation on the waterfront and to avoid out-of-context developmentwithin the waterfront setting, it is proposed that the claim ofexisting building height should not be allowed and to restrict theheight of the building at 160mPD upon redevelopment. Thisheight band has taken the development intensity into consideration.Major Commercial Developments at Cityplaza, Kornhill Plaza andTaikoo Place(h) A maximum Building Height of 45mPD and 135mPD for thearea zoned “C” covering the shopping mall of Cityplaza with

A maximum buildingheight of 135mPD for the “C” site with a proposed hoteldevelopment of 135mPD under construction.(i) A maximum Building Height of 85mPD and 100mPD forKornhill Plaza zoned “C” located to north and south of KornhillRoad and enclosed by Kornhill Garden and Kornhill(Lower)respectively. The building height restriction reflects the existingbuilding heights which acts as a central vista and provides a visualrelief for the adjacent residential developments.(j) A maximum Building Height of 130mPD for the sites zoned“CDA” and “C” fronting the Quarry Bay Park to north of TongChong Street and the “C” sites bounded by Tong Chong Street,King’s Road and Pan Hoi Street.(k) A maximum Building Height of 140mPD for area covering theCambridge House with an existing building height of 159mPDwhich has breached the 20% building-free zone of the ridgeline.Redevelopment of the site would be subject to the building heightrestriction of 140mPD to avoid breaching the 20% building-freezone of the ridgeline and the claim existing building height will notbe allowed upon redevelopment.(l) A maximum Building Height of 160mPD, 170mPD, 200mPDand 220mPD for the areas zoned “CDA” and “C” to south of TongChong Street at Taikoo Place and Westlands Road. The buildingheight bands have taken into account the need to preserve the 20%building-free zone of the ridgeline when viewed from the publicvantage point at the middle of the ex-Kai Tak airport runway.The commercial building One Island East of 301mPD hasbreached the ridgeline, which will be restricted to a maximum of220mPD upon redevelopment to avoid breaching the 20%building-free zone of the ridgeline and the claim of existingbuilding height is not allowed upon redevelopment.12. As most “Government, Institution or Community” sites and some sitesdesignated for “Other Specified Uses” are relatively low-rise developments andcould serve as breathing space and visual relief in this crowded and built-up area,building height restrictions for these sites are imposed mostly to contain theirdevelopment scale or to reflect their existing building height.Non-Building Areas and Building Gaps13.
