This seems like it might be a negative change from an urban development perspective. These buildings already have gigantic footprints compared to everything around them.
In Halifax I think there is too much focus on building heights and not enough focus on building width, footprint size, and lot frontage lengths. The limited heights probably make the lot size issue worse too, since the only way to do a large development in an area with low height limits is to build a squat, massive box with a huge footprint.
