I was looking for a decent map of Capitol View Corridor height restrictions and ended up making my own from the
state law text. Figured I should share it here.
kmz you can load into Google Earth and fly around:

Here's an album with a few screenshots.
You'll notice many buildings poke above the restriction planes slightly. This is probably due to inaccuracies in Google's building polygons and elevations. For example IBC Bank Plaza tops out at 653.3ft according to the site plan--right at the corridor plane--but Google draws it higher at 657ft.
I also may have made mistakes in the coordinate conversion
Or buildings are actually violating! But that would never happen... (*cough* Waller Intake *cough*)
6/20 update: I added the city-defined corridors too, but the state ones are generally identical or slightly more restrictive. The funny thing is two coordinates specified in
municipal code 25-2 are wrong--they appear to be missing digits. As they are now codified, The Enfield Road corridor extends south to Luling and the East Eleventh Street Threshold corridor reaches into Mexico. Talk about government overreach! They were wrong in the ordinance passed almost 30 years ago.
(it looks like those two corridors are supposed to be the same as the state definitions so that's what I used instead)
