Buc-ee’s has not submitted an application to El Paso County for development, nor has any development application been submitted for the referenced property. We cannot speak to any intentions of Buc-ee’s, or the property owner. Property owners are not required to disclose their future plans for a property when requesting a boundary line adjustment or grading permit. Please direct any and all questions related to intentions to those parties.
Property owners have the right to make decisions about their property as long as they are following the law. The county follows processes to allow property owners to make changes to their property in compliance with the law. The county takes seriously its legal obligations and the rights of all interested parties, including respecting the constitutional private property rights of citizens. Under the law, property owners are entitled to a fair process where the Board of County Commissioners remains neutral (including no ex-parte communication) prior to conducting a formal hearing where they review evidence and make a decision based on criteria previously established in the Land Development Code.
