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 (A2886) requires New Jersey's State Planning Commission to create model rules for placing warehouses near different zoning areas, including design and setback requirements. Municipalities can then update their local zoning plans and master plans to align with these models, giving them flexibility to regulate warehouse locations. The rules specifically apply to warehouses like distribution centers and flex-warehouses that store goods for later distribution. This directly affects local governments (which can adopt the models) and warehouse developers (which must follow the new zoning standards).
