The Waterfront Tower protrusion Officedweller was alluding to before was so small and from such distance the city agreed it would be imperceptible to the human eye but it could still not penetrate the viewcone because it would set a precedent.

Setting a precedent won't be a problem as ever taller buildings will be built east of Boundary Road. In Vancouver, even if buildings exceed the dumb 3.2.1 viewcones limit, they are only in front of the British Properties houses and not blocking the mountain per se. Allowing a few to stick out beyond that limit won't cause Armageddon, and since this is the dumbest policy ever, why is the City so stubborn in keeping it? OK let's move on since that was only a rhetorical question and we don't want to dwell on this topic.
