NJ S1235

Creates a pilot program in New Jersey's Office of Planning Advocacy to reimburse municipalities for costs of updating zoning ordinances and conducting mitigation studies related to warehouse development

Appropriates $1 million from the General Fund to fund reimbursement grants, with priority given to municipalities most in need of financial assistance

Requires the Office to develop model zoning ordinances within three months addressing warehouse siting impacts including traffic, infrastructure, stormwater runoff, and public health

Municipalities must adopt warehouse-specific zoning ordinances consistent with state guidance as a condition of receiving reimbursement grants

Program expires after funds are exhausted and the Office submits a report to the Governor and Legislature evaluating effectiveness and feasibility of making the program permanent
