The only "regulations" are of local making and could be changed--that is, zoning height limits imposed by the Planning Department and Board of Supervisors. Here is what the General Plan dictates in the tallest part of downtown (TransBay Transit District):

But the politics in SF are such that these limits aren't going to be changed in the foreseeable future. Ultimately, say in the Star Trk time frame, they probably will be.
