I know it says 350 ft but I'm not sure if that's just the project proposal or the actual limit

Option 4 (the preferred option) and Option 5 include the Grand Central. SANDAG and the Navy have been working together on this from the start, the two projects are basically one and the same.
The height limit is 350'. Technically the TERPS limits slope from 350' on one side of the property up to 600' on the other, but after discussion with various institutional stakeholders 350' was what everyone agreed on. Or more bluntly, it was what
everyone was willing to publicly say was perfectly safe, without any reservations. Which is important to the people pushing this one forward, because they already have enough potential issues to work through with this project without adding on that massive one. No one will be able to build taller than 350' unless the Navy decides to amend the EIR in the future, and they've indicated they're not very interested in going through all of this again...
