I think that the skyline tapering policy is ridiculous but keep in mind that the City Planning Dept. are working within the parameters as set out in various official guidelines. Then politics gets involved with input/interferrance (however you choose to view it) by local Councillors who wield a substancial amount of power.
Add to that that the whole "tapering Policy" is old, outdated and has no value today. Why not put a few taller buildings outside the "tallzone" take some pressure off the services within and allows lower density areas between the tall areas. This would allow for more parks and more sunlight in parts of downtown. as it is now there is little sunlight in the canyons of bay street and yet council shuts down other projects because of "shadowing". makes no sense at all.
