I'm pretty sure the concern is blocking the view of lake and parts of the downtown FROM the mountain.
I kinda/sorta get it if they build a crap-ton of buildings downtown which are higher than the escarpment, but to totally deny any buildings being taller is ridiculous.
You don't need to see the entire harbour/lake from the escarpment at every single angle. At least limit the amount of buildings that go higher, and allow it in certain locations to ensure the optimal views aren't blocked. This all or nothing approach is dumb.
