It appears that the photo from that website was cribbed from an older rendering found in the rezoning application:

That being said it doesn’t explain why the tower looks correct in the CBC report, unless they were going back and forth.

Any rezoning seldom shows the final version of a project; it sets the scale (height, volume, general massing), but the detailed design only appears at DP stage. Often the rezoning requires something to change for the DP to be approved, and, as we know, sometimes the Urban Design Panel suggest changes - even at the DP stage. This project went through three versions (at least) for rezoning, and then changed again for the DP. An early render as part of a rezoning package isn't necessarily what gets approved to be built. CityHallWatch have been following (and critiquing) this project for at least nine years, and have published several of the later, and more accurate renderings.
