Trigger predicate
When this evaluates true for a parcel, the law's preempted fields take precedence over base zoning.
parcel.inside_extraterritorial_joint_zone == TruePreempted fields
2 fields on the base district schema are rewritten when the trigger fires.
| Field | Op | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
governing_zoning_authority | override | joint_powers_body | For parcels in the Albuquerque–Bernalillo EZA jurisdiction (5-mile extraterritorial ring), governing authority is EZA/ELUC, not the City of Albuquerque alone — and the governing code is the Bernalillo County Zoning Ordinance jointly administered, not the Albuquerque IDO. Annexation moves parcels back under full IDO control. |
applicable_zoning_code | override | county_or_joint_ordinance | Similar (smaller-scale) arrangements operate for Santa Fe city / Santa Fe County (SFEZO) and several smaller municipalities under Joint Powers Agreements Act (NMSA 11-1-1 et seq.) |

Research notes
EZA = Extraterritorial Zoning Authority; ELUC = Extraterritorial Land Use Commission. Typical membership: 3 city + 3 county appointees on EZA; ELUC similarly constituted. Decisions binding on both bodies within the joint jurisdiction. This is a jurisdictional-routing overlay — it reassigns WHICH authority writes the zoning code for a parcel; it does not preempt particular zoning fields. Critical for any city record covering parcels in the Albuquerque metro extraterritorial ring or Santa Fe SFEZO area.
