Where warehouse use is allowed in Lawrence Township

Lawrence Township’s Land Use Ordinance permits wholesale distribution centers and warehouses in the LI Limited Industrial district (§ 424), the MX-2 Mixed Use 2 district (§ 422) and the MX-3 Mixed Use 3 district (§ 423).

In the LI district, no merchandise, products or equipment may be displayed, sold or stored outside, buildings must sit at least 50 feet from the tract perimeter, and a lot for a single principal use needs at least 5 acres.

The Enterprise Avenue Redevelopment Plan also permits wholesale distribution centers and warehouses, and inside that area its standards replace the ordinance’s.
