You've heard about all the changes to zoning codes that are going on. Well here's how the current zoning limits are working out:
The new building going in at Aliso NE and Copper was permitted for 4 stories and 42.5'. That's despite the fact that current limits are 3 stories and 39'!
So even though past neighbors fought hard to get the 3 story limit, the developer is getting to do 4. Just shows you how this city works.
I personally would really appreciate other neighbors to contact the person responsible and complain. Code Compliance Manager is Andrew Garcia:

Thank you. What this means is that even if we can get new limits of 4 stories, or 5 stories, the permits that actually get issued can be for even more. Apparently some little law got snuck through a couple years ago that allows code enforcement not to follow their own codes!
