Industrial and Warehouse Space for Lease in Belleville, NJ

Where warehouse use is allowed in Belleville

Belleville’s BB-2 district permits “Warehousing” as a principal use, along with light industrial uses and a separately listed self-storage facility. The code describes BB-2 as the district for light industrial facilities and flexible business spaces associated with heavier truck traffic, and it also allows the uses permitted in BB-1. The code defines a warehouse as a completely enclosed structure used for the temporary storage of unfinished and/or finished goods and merchandise, and it says a self-storage facility is not a warehouse. “Warehousing or any form of commercial use storage” is prohibited in the B-A Neighborhood Retail/Residential district and the B-G Commercial/Residential Mixed-Use district.

Source note: eCode360 lists uncodified Ord. No. 45-26 as a Chapter 23 zoning amendment. The posted ordinance text would define “data center” and prohibit data centers in all zoning districts; it does not change the warehouse use list. As listed on eCode360, it does not show an adoption date. Check its status with the township before relying on this summary.

Zoning text changes; confirm the district for a specific lot with the municipal zoning officer before you sign.
