Recommendation
Approve the Site Development Assistance Program Funding Agreement with Kannika Atlantic, Inc. doing business as Ziree Thai and Sushi for the proposed interior and exterior improvement project located at 401 West Atlantic Avenue, R7, CRA sub-area #3, in an amount not to exceed $47,962.50.
Body
Background:
The owners of Kannika Atlantic, Inc. (better known as Ziree Thai & Sushi) submitted a request for Site Development Funding Assistance to help towards the renovations located at 401 West Atlantic Avenue, R7, within CRA sub-area #3.
Located in the Atlantic Grove Complex along West Atlantic Avenue, Ziree Thai & Sushi is a family-owned and operated restaurant that has been serving up authentic, classic Thai cuisine in Delray Beach for nearly two decades. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the business, like many restaurants, has had to limit the availability of indoor seating. To address this, more and more dining establishments have added or expanded their outdoor dining accommodations ¾ a change that has proven to be a saving grace for these small businesses. In order to ensure that customers can continue to dine safely, the site will undergo construction to accommodate approximately 600 square feet of outdoor dining space along the east and south sides of the existing restaurant.
Funding assistance is requested for exterior improvements including construction of the outdoor dining space, landscaping, installation of awnings, and related permitting, engineering, and architectural fees. If approved, it is anticipated that the project will be fully completed by September 30, 2022....
