EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The El Paso County Board of County Commissioners spent Thursday morning listening to Buc-ee's appeal of an administrative determination.
Back in June, the county couldn't decide if Buc-ee's counted as a convenience store.
The planning director reviewed the plans, but could not make an official ruling. Buc-ee's is now appealing that decision.

The board will decide whether the proposed Buc-ee's qualifies as an allowed use in the C-1 zoning district under the Land Development Code.
Thursday's hearing does not approve or deny construction of a Buc-ee's in Palmer Lake.
