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’

A standard move. This is probably true. But they are probably shooting for 300 ft. They’ll send the Alderman on an all expense paid trip to the Bahamas, donate to his campaign fund, and bada bing! Approved at 300ft
