Perhaps they had a pre-application consultation where the city requested them to reduce the height, but that's hardly a "rejection". The city asks for a lot of things that don't end up happening. Besides, at 30 storeys, it would likely have largely complied with the escarpment height limits.. I doubt that would have been a major sticking point if it actually reached a full application, particularly since the City has now approved 34 storeys across the street.

They never made a full application for the city to review, and as a result it was never "approved" or "rejected" in any form. I suspect it was barely ever anything more than the back-of-the-napkin rendering that is shown above.
