As of this moment I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to put the map together without it being too confusing, but so far the zoning shown on the map is only the zones that have had increased height restrictions. I've already created another map with that shows the location of city approved plans for new construction, but Google Maps isn't working as I had hoped. Therefore I'll have to do that portion of it again on top of the existing map you can see here. From there, an interested buyer or current homeowner can see if a planned tower will potentially block a view. I'll do some research and see what the maximum height is for all zones west of what's shown and shade in that area all as one. I'll be sure to come back and comment further once I've decided how I'll finish the map. I just wanted to get something up for Jim's client ASAP. But, there's not really any location that is completely protected. The only secured views I know of now is at Bay Vista Tower. Hey Staci.

It looks like anything west of 3rd and Lenora is protected from future building... or at least from future building of high rise towers? Can you comment on that?
