Buc-ee's Zoning Battle in El Paso | Colorado Springs News

El Paso County’s planning department has thrown a wrench in Buc-ee’s plans, calling into question whether their proposed location qualifies as a “convenience store” under current zoning rules — despite the land being zoned for commercial use. After reviewing records, they found no prior approvals for gas-selling convenience stores in that specific C-1 zone, and Buc-ee’s unique mix of features doesn’t neatly fit existing definitions. The county admits it’s a gray area, leaving the fate of the project uncertain — but Buc-ee’s still has 30 days to appeal. This case underscores how outdated regulations can clash with modern retail concepts.
