Industrial and Warehouse Space for Lease in Roxbury, NJ

Where warehouse use is allowed in Roxbury

Roxbury’s I-1 Limited Industrial district (§ 13-7.29) permits warehouses, including mini-warehousing and self-storage, plus manufacturing, fabrication, assembly and processing. The I-3, I-5 and I-10 districts permit the same uses (I-3 adds lumber yards and contractor yards), and outdoor bulk storage is an accessory use under § 13-7.816.

Since July 23, 2024, § 13-7.21A05 prohibits “last mile” facilities that deliver to end users in vehicles smaller than box trucks, and cross-dock facilities where goods stay less than 10 days on average. Before a zoning permit, each warehouse tenant needs a Township Planner determination that its operation fits these rules.

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