The NIMBYers can declare a “victory” by reducing the building’s height by several hundred feet and the developer gets the 200’ tall building they were aiming for.
Had the developer asked for 200’, no doubt the NIMBYers would have demanded it be no taller than 100’

The developers asked for 570' and it was reduced it to 495'
The NIMBYs are now asking for another, further reduction. This reduction would essentially trim the building's height by 65% from the initial proposal, which is ridiculous and entirely unrealistic. The NIMBYs already have their 'victory', and the developers already conceded the height they factored it as a negotiation tactic. At this point, the neighborhood groups are basically just sh*tting on this development.
