EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The El Paso County Board of County Commissioners will hear Buc-ee's appeal of an administrative determination on Thursday, August 27.
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.
- Watch News5's coverage of the appeal below:
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. The county says the hearing will not approve or deny construction of a Buc-ee's in Palmer Lake.
According to the county, public input is part of all Board of County Commissioners hearings, and community members are allowed to participate.
