Research notes
NC GS §160D-902 requires local governments to notify the military commander of proposed zoning changes within 5 miles of major military installations. NC installations with AICUZ: Fort Liberty/Bragg (Army, formerly Fort Bragg), MCAS Cherry Point (Marines), Camp Lejeune (Marines), Seymour Johnson AFB, MCAS New River. Also: Charlotte-Douglas (CLT) Part 77 surfaces constrain height citywide. Federal conflict check intentionally true — AICUZ is federal guidance, not federal preemption, and state provides coordination framework.
