Industrial and Warehouse Space for Lease in Moonachie, NJ

Where warehouse use is allowed in Moonachie

Portions of Moonachie 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.

Outside the District, Moonachie’s Schedule of District Use Regulations (Chapter 22) permits “manufacturing, warehousing, research and office uses” in the M Manufacturing zone, subject to the performance standards in § 22-5.11 and excluding the uses listed in Attachment S-1 to that schedule. Accessory storage in the M zone must be inside a wholly enclosed permanent structure.

Source note: the Schedule of District Use Regulations on eCode360 is marked Publication, September 2020. Confirm the current Chapter 22 text and zoning map with the borough, including whether a lot is inside the Meadowlands District.

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.
