Completely agree. I also questioned why the northern street (Wellington) has taller buildings than along some of the other streets, despite the other streets being MFD on both sides of the street. Some of the heights don't make complete sense and seem to be created to try to add some variety rather than follow some sort of transition framework.
Also commented about why they aren't adding a finer street grid, nor including the huge SFH area south of Vanness. It seems woefully inadequate for such a successful area.
On a somewhat separate note, I wonder if the CoV keeps track of the square footage available for construction based upon built vs zoned vs community plan. It would be pretty interesting to see a visualization of where this area is, as well as total values to provide visibility into how much the city is constraining development in aggregate.
