Make no mistake, that's what many NA's ultimate goal is with urban developments. 3-4 stories. You'll recall Kirkendall freaking out over the Dundurn warehouse proposal at 5 floors. They NIMBY'd it down to 3.
Not everything has to be over 30 stories - landscape staggering of heights is what makes the bigger buildings stand out more, and prevents canyons where no sun shines and where you get a subdivision of skyscrapers.

Personally id like to see it done in blocks, where the center of the block is a high building and everything ringing it in the block is 3-4 stories.
