A 988 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits approving authority from approving construction of certain warehouses on lot of land within 1,000 feet of historic district.

This bill prohibits local governments and state agencies from approving new large warehouse construction (100,000+ sq. ft. storage facilities) on land within 1,000 feet of designated historic districts. It directly affects developers seeking permits for such warehouses near historic areas, with exceptions for specific redevelopment projects under existing law. The bill allows planning boards to grant waivers if developers request them, but requires approval before permits can be issued. It takes effect immediately for new applications not yet approved by the enforcing agency.
