The reason why zoning by-laws in Ontario tend to underplay density & height, is due to section 37 of the Planning Act.

In short, it allows the city to negotiate benefits from developers in exchange for 'extra' density & heights beyond what the zoning allowed.

No, this is not how zoning is supposed to work, but municipalities have to get money in the ways that they can.
