I've been emailing and asking city politicians/bureaus for years why we have the 460' height limit and have never received a consistent or concrete answer. Generally the response (if I get one) is pretty much "well, because."
I don't believe there are FAA considerations, at least 1000' and under. We're a grown assed city now, time to get rid of regulations we can't defend. And who is the arbitrator of FAR and why?
