Protected Public Views – Council-approved protected public view 20 (Granville St.) extends
across the subject site, generally setting a height limit of approximately 108.9 m (357.3 ft.), or
8.4 m (27.7 ft.) lower than the 117.3 m (385.0 ft.) height set by the West End Plan. However, the
building falls into a “view cone shadow” created by pre-existing development which will conceal
all building elements under 121.9 m (400.0 ft.) within the protected view, thereby enabling
consideration of a tower up to the proposed height.
Previous proposal was "A height of 117.3 m (385 ft.) and an FSR of 14.97 are proposed."
I'm not sure which building provides the view shadow (nothing extends above the yellow line)?
Maybe a future phase of Senakw? https://senakw.afi.dev/?ref=blog.afi.io
The 2-storey retail building proposed for 450 W Georgia was approved a couple of weeks ago. A minor design change was required to reduce the depth of the cantilever over Richards Street slightly, to leave space for new street trees to survive successfully.

It's weird I think the site sits outside of View Cone 20 (going by VanMap) It mostly goes over the water to the east of Senakw so that wouldn't play a factor.
I think it was under the QE view cone and the Charleson seawall view cone

i know this might be a hot take but i like the current configuration. The whole foods being in a surface parking lot feels very LA and is a distinct built form environment compared to the rest of the west end. It gets a fair bit of sunshine on a sunny day and i'm not in a particular rush for it to be redeveloped into your typical tower + podium combination. Granted i wouldn't want this to be the prevalent set up but some variety is nice.
