I'm not sure where that excerpt on Twitter is from... maybe an old proposal? I looked at the R4 report and saw this on page 56:
"There is no consensus on this issue, even among Community Associations.
After due consideration, the proposed zoning will not seek to prohibit rooftop amenity spaces.
Properly designed, rooftops provide useful amenity space for residents.
The rules for setbacks from building edges and screening from side yards, introduced in Infill 2, are considered sufficient to mitigate issues. Most issues
with rooftop patios are from buildings that predate these rules."
