Requires State Planning Commission to adopt model ordinance for siting certain warehouses and permits conforming updates to municipal master plans and zoning ordinances and establishes fund in DCA; appropriates $5 million.
This bill requires New Jersey's State Planning Commission to create a model ordinance for siting warehouses within 36 months, including rules for distribution centers and similar facilities. Municipalities must then update their local zoning and master plans to align with this model, using a $5 million fund in the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to support implementation. It directly affects local governments (which must revise planning rules) and warehouse developers (which will follow standardized siting guidelines). The law standardizes land-use planning for warehouses without altering existing zoning authority.
