Trigger predicate

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

AND
  • city.military_installation_influence attribute is present
  • city.military_installation_influence.installation_name {Joint Base Charleston, Shaw Air Force Base, MCAS Beaufort, MCRD Parris Island, Fort Jackson, Naval Weapons Station Charleston, Naval Health Clinic Charleston}

Preempted fields

3 fields on the base district schema are rewritten when the trigger fires.

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.
