It's frustrating that it took this long for the Feds and City to sit down and have a discussion about this. Lawyers should not be involved in this. It seems like this should not be a matter of opinion, but of scientific facts. Break down the requirements of the Farm behind closed doors, get the NCC to implement iron clad restrictions. Then there's the question of the developers, but they did probably overpay based on what they thought they could get, and not what's actually zoned (yes, yes, OP and all, but not everything supports what they want).
Ultimately, the Farm should move or shift to an urban farming research facility. It might be worth putting a moratorium on any new developments adjacent to the Farm until they've completed their current research (if that's even possible) and shifted to an actual rural site.

Except from a city and legal perspective, the only basis they can go off is the subject property itself, else it will go to tribunal, and the city will lose.
This is something the farm should have seen coming a long time ago and lobbied the federal government to create protections for it or a plan of what to do, they cannot now suddenly protest each development on a case by case basis because the city cannot make their decisions based on it...
