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

El Paso County commissioners just gave Buc-ee’s the green light on zoning, voting 4-1 to let them move forward with their travel center despite public pushback. The key debate? Whether Buc-ee’s qualifies as a “convenience store” under existing C-1 zoning — since gas stations and truck stops weren’t explicitly listed. With decades of commercial zoning on the land and Buc-ee’s arguing it fits the highway-commercial vibe, the commissioners sided with them. Over 160 locals voiced concerns that it’s not for neighborhood convenience, but the decision clears a major hurdle — no more hearings needed — bringing the project one step closer to construction.
