The three posts published on June 8 will make more sense if the third one is read first-- this one and the next with images are meant to support that text.

This map (sheet 93) reflects decisions made in Resolution 1731 (now superseded) and shows the area around the proposed Zenith Stadium (Zenit is the name of the city soccer team). Note that the maximum height of the stadium is 57 meters; notice also the cluster of heights over 100 meters just north of the stadium in an area of assigned "vertical dominants."

This sheet (104) shows the area around the Gazprom Okhta-Center project and eastward. The Gazprom skyscraper is designated here as "vertical dominant No. 70" and given a height of 100 meters. To the southeast, at the bottom of the sheet, notice two spots designating 150 meters maximum height. Both images are publicly available on the St. Petersburg city planning site.
