FieldOpValueNote
review_typerequiremilitary_installation_notice_and_compatibility_reviewCities and counties with land within an installation's accident potential zone (APZ) or noise-contour (≥65 dB DNL) must notify the installation commander of proposed zoning amendments and consider AICUZ compatibility guidance before approval.

Research notes

Applies near Fort Riley (Geary/Riley counties), Fort Leavenworth (Leavenworth County), McConnell AFB (Sedgwick County — Wichita), and Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range (Saline County — Salina). State statute provides the procedural overlay; substantive compatibility guidance comes from each installation's AICUZ study and Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) products. Federal conflict check enabled because AICUZ contours and obstruction surfaces are DoD/FAA products that the state statute incorporates by reference.
