The catch would be that the height of everything outside (so the block with Trillium, Park Vic and across from Schmidtville) could be high rise because they are not in the community.

I believe HRM by Design would require step down in height to transition to a Heritage District. I don't think that's necessarily bad - as long as everyone is subjected to the same rules... and should allow for decent massing/density along Clyde (as the northern boundary of Schmidtville) to support projects like the Sister Sites.
