In my opinion, with a city building game it's less about the story and more about what you make out of it.

When playing Sim City or Zoo Tycoon I make up my own story about my city/zoo, I don't want to be interrupted by pre-made story parts that might not fit with my idea of my city/zoo.

Yes but it's also not necessary for such game. 

Honestly I think many games focus on stories instead of gameplay. 

I don't mind a good story but I play games for the gameplay. 

 

Zeus Master of Olympus is probably the most "story" driven city builder I played.

Well, when the point of the game is micro-management, what do you expect? Anno series has campaign, and I think thats closer of making it RTS at that point.
