North Carolina S947 establishes military influence areas to prevent incompatible development near major military installations.

North Carolina S947 allows local governments to establish military influence areas within 5 miles of major military installations. These areas require coordination with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to ensure development does not affect military readiness. Local governments can adopt zoning regulations for these areas, requiring developers to prove their projects will not impede military operations. The bill also mandates notice to military commanders for hearings on property within these zones and requires site plans to mitigate light and noise impacts.
