Plenty of UDP members object to at least some of the viewcones, as do plenty of staff in planning.
You need to know viewcones are enforced by COUNCIL and are a reflection not of planning but the citizens of the city.
Just a few years ago there was a public engagement over the viewcones and they were generally supported by the voting public. Until that changes the viewcones are here to stay because apparently the citizens of Vancouver want them.
