I run into foodies who rreally like to cook and they have some weird requests over the years. I have to continue this simple reminder, its a house not a commercial kitchen. I am a big fan of 42" commercial looking residential hoods like Wolf, and such (with an external blower like Charles suggested. They are not that loud so your neighbor will not give you the dagger eye) for 36" range or cook tops. 30" is the typ dimension between hood and cook top. In your situation, you will bump your head on the edge of the hood with it sitting on front of the soffit. Is there a reason why you don't want to run the vent up through the roof? Is this a complete remodel?

I really don't need make up air. 1200 CFM is pretty good air float. That's what I have in my own house and my home is sealed up pretty good. We always crack open a window come cooking even if its raining. The big overhang help keep the rain off the window.
