Trigger predicate
When this evaluates true for a parcel, the law's preempted fields take precedence over base zoning.

Preempted fields
3 fields on the base district schema are rewritten when the trigger fires.
| Field | Op | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
base_districts[*].max_height_ft | cap_at | aicuz_imaginary_surface | AICUZ Accident Potential Zones (Clear Zone, APZ I, APZ II) and noise contours (DNL 65+ / 70+ / 75+) constrain height and land use per DoD AICUZ guidance (DoDI 4165.57). |
base_districts[*].allowed_uses | remove | residential_or_assembly_in_high_noise_or_apz | AICUZ guidance recommends no new residential, schools, churches, hospitals in DNL 65+ noise zones or APZs; localities implement via overlay districts. |
zoning_decision_procedure.military_installation_commander_notice | override | advisory_consultation_required | SC has no §160D-902-style mandatory military-commander notification statute, but coastal JLUS (Joint Land Use Study) jurisdictions — Berkeley/Charleston/Dorchester (JBC), Beaufort (MCAS/Parris), Sumter (Shaw), Richland/Lexington/Kershaw (Fort Jackson) — have adopted voluntary notification protocols via JLUS implementation. |

Authority source
DoD AICUZ Program (DoDI 4165.57); FAR Part 77 (14 CFR Part 77); SC Military Base Task Force JLUS implementations (BCD-COG JBC JLUS 2016; Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester JLUS); SC Code §6-29-510 (land use element coordination)
§ Federal DoDI 4165.57 + SC §6-29-510 (land use element) — no SC-specific mandatory military-coordination statute
Research notes
SC hosts seven major military installations with AICUZ or land-use influence: Joint Base Charleston (Air Force + Navy Weapons Station, Berkeley/Charleston/Dorchester counties), Shaw AFB (Sumter County), MCAS Beaufort + MCRD Parris Island (Beaufort County), Fort Jackson (Richland County), Naval Health Clinic Charleston, plus the Charleston AFB component. Unlike NC §160D-902, SC has no mandatory pre-decision military-commander notification statute — coordination is via Chapter 29 land-use element and voluntary JLUS protocols. Federal AICUZ is guidance, not preemption; the federal conflict check is enabled because base commanders may invoke encroachment authorities (DoD Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, formerly OEA) when local zoning is materially inconsistent with AICUZ.
