Research notes

Federal-overlay conflict check is enabled because GA hosts multiple federal airspace overlays: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) Part 77; Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) AICUZ near Columbus; Fort Stewart AICUZ near Hinesville/Savannah; Robins AFB AICUZ near Warner Robins. Any state-overlay preemption that would raise allowed height or introduce noise-sensitive uses in these zones must be flagged for federal conflict resolution. State-level overlay set has no direct height-floor preemptions today, but this overlay exists to ensure the evaluator surfaces conflicts when city-level overlays touch base_districts[*].max_height_ft or allowed_uses.
