It's not really setting a precedent. There wasn't really any plan put in place for this in the Midtown East rezoning, so that's why this is a site specific text amendment, meaning it will apply to this site only...

The proposed text amendment is specific to the site, and designed to be inapplicable to other sites with similar conditions

I think that the CB feels this will move forward as planned anyway, and the no vote is mostly symbolic. But still, Chase should call the bluff, build a 1,600 ft tower, and let the chips fall where they may.
