8 mediation sessions for a project that should be a slam dunk is a pretty damning condemnation of the current state of the planning regime.
That probably added between $750K and $1M in costs to the project on soft costs alone, to say nothing of the cost of delay (though I'm not sure TAS has money to build this anyway...).

I am most interested in how the sanctuary is handled.

Still a zoning exercise, or are they planning to build this for real now?

They would need money for that. Or to actually own the property. Or...

...so to be clear, they need to rezone the property to sell? Or they don't even have the funds to do that...and hope someone with money will take notice of all the pretty renders here?

I used to live in 44 Walmer, which looks quite handsome in those models, even though it will now be dwarfed.
