Zoning Changes To Restrict Warehouses Approved By Planning Board

January 18, 2026 Development, Planning Board

**NEW ORDINANCE REVIEW –** *Mark Healey, the Township’s principal planner, reviews some of the aspects of the proposed zoning changes to the BI Zone at the January 14 Planning Board meeting.*

A series of design and location specifications designed to limit where in the township warehouses can be built – and how large they can be – was approved and passed on to the Township Council January 14 by the Planning Board in a special meeting.

If the Council follows the Planning Board lead, the specifications will become part of the Township Master Plan, and will limit warehouse sizes to no larger than 400,000 square feet.
