There is no such agreement. There are no pre-set height limits for the western railyards.
We have no idea what will be built, outside of the fact that they have to include a school, there are some affordable housing requirements and it will (probably) be mostly residential.
My guess is that Related won't stop with Phase II. They're too invested in the neighborhood. They'll eventually take the Javits site, the bus garage site or the post office sorting site, or some combination of the three. Those three sites will be the next phases of whatever large-scale plans hit the West Side.
