\nThe Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Tuesday (24 July) announced that it will rezone some sites within the Tiong Bahru estate from \u2018residential\u2019 to \u2018residential with commercial at 1st storey\u2019.
\nThe estate has 800 homes and 120 authorised businesses situated at the first storey of residential buildings, of which over 50 percent are on land zoned \u2018residential with commercial at 1st storey\u2019.

\nThere are also 28 units on land zoned \u2018residential\u2019, but are being used for businesses based on agency approvals over the past decades. These units, which have become an integral part of the estate, are mostly found between Eng Hoon Street and Eng Watt Street.
\nURA revealed that it will recognise these existing businesses and rezone the sites from \u2018residential\u2019 to \u2018residential with commercial at 1st storey\u2019, after community feedback showed that residents are supportive of the estate\u2019s vibrant character.
\n\u201cRezoning the sites will specify under the Master Plan where commercial uses are allowed in the estate,\u201d it said. \u201cThis also reinforces URA\u2019s commitment to support its vibrant landscape, while recognising that the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood is primarily a residential estate.\u201d
\nIt added that it is also working with some businesses that are operating in units meant for residential purposes only.
\n\u201cURA is engaging the affected business operators and owners\/tenants to work with them to address the infringements.\u201d
