Industrial and Warehouse Space for Lease in Carlstadt, NJ

Where warehouse use is allowed in Carlstadt

Portions of Carlstadt fall within the Meadowlands District, where the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority administers N.J.A.C. 19:4. In the District, warehouse and distribution facilities are a permitted use in the Light Industrial A, Light Industrial B and Intermodal B zones. The Light Industrial A and B lists also allow accessory retail sales of products stored in those facilities. The official text is the current New Jersey Administrative Code; the section links here are public unofficial copies, and NJSEA’s posted courtesy copy is current only through August 19, 2019.

Carlstadt’s Meadowlands Overlay District applies to land inside the District boundary. The borough has adopted the NJSEA master plan and N.J.A.C. 19:4 for those lots, and the code says applications are first submitted to NJSEA.

Outside the District, Chapter XXI of the borough code applies. Warehouses are a permitted use in the Research Distribution Park zone, which also requires warehouse operations (except parking and loading) to be inside enclosed buildings and at least 5% of the first floor of a warehouse building to be office space. Light Industrial Zone I and Distribution B and Light Industrial Zone II both permit “warehouses, wholesale establishments and other storage facilities.” This page does not treat the separate Light Industrial or Heavy Industrial lists, which are written mainly as prohibited-use lists, as a warehouse permission.

Source note: eCode360 lists four 2026 zoning amendments to Chapter XXI (Ord. Nos. 26-3, 26-5, 26-16 and 26-19, adopted February 4 to September 16, 2026) that may not yet be reflected in the sections cited here. Check them with the borough before relying on this summary.

Zoning text changes. For a specific lot, first confirm whether it sits in the Meadowlands District (NJSEA rules under N.J.A.C. 19:4) or under the municipal code, then confirm the district with the municipal zoning officer and, for District lots, with NJSEA before you sign.
