Adopt Ordinance #24-01 Rezoning 7790 and 7750 Sunwood Drive to COR-1 and Adopt Resolution #24-019 Approving the Development Agreement and Sidewalk Encroachment Agreement for Storyteller Café (Project No. 23-118); Case of Stories Foundation

On December 12, 2023, the City Council approved (with contingencies) the Final Plat and Site Plan for Storyteller Café, located at 7790 Sunwood Drive (the "Subject Property"), proposed by Stories Foundation (the "Applicant"). That same evening, the City Council introduced Orindance #24-01, which will rezone the Subject Property, along with 7750 Sunwood Drive (Sunwood Village apartments), from COR-2 to COR-1, to accommodate three (3) apartments proposed on the second floor of the building.  The purpose of this case is twofold.  First, to formally adopt Ordinance #24-01, rezoning the two properties from COR-2 to COR-1, and secondly, to adopt Resolution #24-019 approving the Development Agreement and a Sidewalk Encroachment Agreement for Storyteller Café.

 

As noted, the City Council introduced Ordinance #24-01 on December 12, 2023, and the ordinance is now eligible for adoption.  Every development requires a Development Agreement, which outlines the conditions of approval, responsibility for improvements, and development fees.  Furthermore, due to the required ten (10) foot wide sidewalk along Sunwood Drive, a portion of the public sidewalk will encroach onto the Subject Property.  Thus, a Sidewalk Encroachment Agreement is also necessary.  This document not only addresses the encroachment but also specifies responsibilities for maintenance of the public sidewalk.  Adoption of Resolution #24-019 will approve both of these agreements.

All costs related to this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. 

Staff recommends adopting Ordinance #24-01 and Resolution #24-019 approving the rezoning and both agreements, respectively.

Motion to adopt Resolution #24-019 approving the Development Agreement and Sidewalk Encroachment Agreement for Storyteller Café.
