S 1428 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns regulatory guidance for local approving authorities on approval of warehouse development.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Planning Commission to create a plain-language guide for municipal planning boards reviewing warehouse development applications, including distribution, fulfillment, and last-mile centers. The guide must include examples of questions about community benefits (like job creation and environmental mitigation) and concerns (such as traffic and safety), to be posted online. It also updates training for local officials to incorporate this new guidance into their land use law courses. The bill directly affects municipal planning boards, developers seeking warehouse approvals, and local officials responsible for land use decisions.
