A 1301 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State Planning Commission to adopt model buffer ordinances detailing different regulatory options for siting warehouses; allows conforming updates to municipal master plans and zoning ordinances.

This bill requires the State Planning Commission to create and adopt model buffer ordinances that specify regulatory rules for siting warehouses near zoning district boundaries, including design standards and setbacks. Municipalities can then update their local master plans and zoning ordinances to align with these state model rules. The bill defines "warehouse" broadly to include distribution centers, flex-warehouses, and any facility storing goods for later retail or wholesale distribution. This provides standardized options for local governments to manage warehouse development while maintaining zoning consistency.
