DURHAM, J.*

This case concerns a proposal to build an apartment complex, including a 16-story tower, on the crest of Seattle's Queen Anne Hill. The Seattle City Council (City Council) partially approved the proposal, but limited the tower's height to eight stories. We hold that the City Council's decision to limit the building's height violated the vested rights doctrine and we remand for reconsideration of that issue.
