That’s extremely odd! It’s strange to ask for specific examples because it is quite the norm for actual built developments to differ drastically from their proposed versions.

Anyway, here’s a notable one: https://www.mas.org/news/op-ed-lets-not-repeat-the-unintende...

2001 LIC was rezoned under the premise of creating a central business district, luxury residential high rises took over instead.

Zoning rarely constrains the outcome as specifically as people wish it would while considering rezoning, ergo the default behavior is for the ultimate construction not to match what was proposed during rezoning. I frankly don’t believe you when you say this doesn’t happen where you are. Could you tell me where that is so I can understand how they achieve it?

Here’s a review of this pattern: https://media.villagepreservation.org/wp-content/uploads/202...
