Exhibit E
Planned Development Amendment
a. Introduction
This amendment pertains to the original LNR planned development consisting of approximately 146.4
acres and the five addendums that provided for 51.71 additional acres of land generally located south
of Beltway 8 along Kirby Drive. This request is to provide amendments for corner lot setbacks.
The LNR PUD was approved in June 2004 under ordinance 509-718. There have been five amendments
since its original approval. The First in January 2017 under 2000M -154 which amended certain uses to
assure consistency of applied regulations across the city. The Second in June 2019 under ordinance
2000M-185 for the annexation of 19.5 acres into the PD. The Third in August 2022, under ordinance
2000M-231 for the annexation of 8.834 acres into the PD. The Fourth in February 2023, under
ordinance 2000M-246 for the annexation of 16.92 acres into the PD. The Fifth in April 2023, under
ordinance 2000M-247 for the annexation of 6.4566 acres into the PD. The addition of the property will
bring the total area of LNR PUD to approximately 198.11 acres. This amendment would affect the base
PD which those addendums are based from and would carry forward those regulations.
