A 28-story tower with podium parking can still reach 400' tall without a decorative crown. With a decorative crown, this tower can still reach the 518' outlined in Weston's proposal to the city.

This is pretty much what I've been thinking. San Antonio is already a city of interesting and vertically emphasized roof designs anyway. With the information we know already, ti's not hard to imagine San Antonio will be getting a tower that is at least 500 feet, if they add a crown of some sort. I would be very surprised if they didn't.
