It might take a few minutes to figure out all the options but there is a lot of information on this website.
Just as a side note, I have always disliked these viewplane bylaws and would like to see them scrapped as well as the overly restrictive height limits in the HRM by Design.

Thanks, I was able to see the view planes map, and I'm feeling very frustrated that the view planes are so
extensive. It's one thing if the view planes were the only major restriction, since we could just shoehorn extra density into the non-view planed areas by using extra height. But considering that there are severe height limits as well, including the absurd provision preventing a building from being visible from within the Citadel, the downtown is just getting stifled. I kind of wish that the Texpark site was getting a tall office building instead of hotel/condo, considering it's one of the few really places and not within a view plane. It would be a great place for HRm's new tallest if it wasn't for the "Visible from parade square" business.
