New Jersey Readies Warehouse Development Guidance As ‘Sprawl’ Concerns Spread Nationally

New Jersey is drafting guidelines to help its more than 500 municipalities make decisions about the development of warehouses within their borders, as localities across the country grapple with a surge of projects that have sparked criticism for an increase in traffic, pollution and loss of open space. 

The New Jersey Planning Commission is in the process of internally reviewing the proposed guidance it’s been developing, a document that would offer information that local officials could voluntarily turn to when a developer seeks to build a distribution or logistics facility within their borders. 

The guidelines are being formulated roughly a year after a criticized bill that would have put dramatic controls on warehouse development in New Jersey was introduced in the Legislature. The measure, strongly opposed by the state’s commercial real estate industry and business groups, never got “across the finish line,” according to one of its co-sponsors, Democratic state Sen. Shirley Turner.
