There are some HOAs that dictate the colour of people's doorbells and force conformity with the threat of fines (which is ridiculous).
The city getting an obviously inferior design than to that which was approved is different. It's in public view in the skyline.

You're flipping flopping all over the place. A rendering is not the same as an approved design. It's just an "artist impression". That's no contractual obligation to delivery what is rendered. Site plan applications deals with how the design conforms to approved zoning. I don't think a superficial design change that doesn't affect density, the height envelope, servicing, etc. matters too much to the overworked staff.
HOAs are private associations usually registered as not for profits. It's not comparable. The less government oversight, the more outlandish and autocratic they become. It's a contradictions south of the border. The places that want less government are popular places for these extreme HOAs
