Preempted fields
2 fields on the base district schema are rewritten when the trigger fires.
| Field | Op | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
base_districts[*].max_height_ft | cap_at | federal_part_77_or_aicuz_surface | Height of structures cannot penetrate Part 77 imaginary surfaces around public-use airports or AICUZ surfaces around military airfields. La. R.S. 2:135 prohibits airport hazards and authorizes municipalities to adopt airport-zoning regulations. |
base_districts[*].allowed_uses | remove | noise_sensitive_uses_in_aicuz_high_noise_zones | AICUZ Clear Zones and APZ-I prohibit most habitable structures; APZ-II restricts density. Applies near Barksdale AFB (Bossier City/Shreveport), Fort Polk / JRTC (Vernon Parish), NAS JRB New Orleans (Belle Chasse, Plaquemines). |

Research notes
Louisiana hosts multiple major federal aviation overlays: Barksdale AFB (Bossier/Shreveport — Air Force Global Strike Command bomber base), Fort Polk / Joint Readiness Training Center (Vernon Parish), NAS JRB New Orleans (Belle Chasse), plus large civil airports MSY (Kenner), BTR (Baton Rouge), SHV (Shreveport), LFT (Lafayette), AEX (Alexandria). State-overlay set has no direct height floors today, but any city-level overlay that would raise height or introduce noise-sensitive uses must surface here for federal conflict resolution. Original prompt cited 'La. R.S. 1:351 et seq.' — the correct title for aviation hazards is Title 2 (Aeronautics), and §2:135 is the operative section.
