Data centers are expressly permitted as a principal use only within the designated Warehouse/Light Industrial Redevelopment Overlay Zone, which is limited to Block 421.1, Lots 1.03, 1.04, and 6.03. The overlay also permits data centers.

Development in the overlay is capped at an aggregate maximum of 2,400,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area for all buildings, with maximum building coverage of 25% and maximum impervious lot coverage of 50%. See the overlay's intensity of development limits.

Principal commercial buildings in the overlay may not exceed 60 feet in height, and accessory buildings may not exceed 25 feet or two stories. See the maximum building height standards.

Commercial buildings must generally be set back at least 25 feet from street lines and external lot lines, and no commercial building may be located within 200 feet of a permitted residential use. See the overlay setback requirements.

Each individual data-center use must provide adequate on-site parking based on a parking-demand study prepared by a professional traffic engineer and confirmed by a Township-retained traffic professional. See the overlay parking requirement.

The overlay project must be conceived, designed, subdivided, site-planned, and approved as a single entity under a comprehensive phased site-development plan, including a Township-approved phasing plan. See the single-entity and phasing requirement.

The overlay must be served by public water and public sewerage facilities, which can require additional infrastructure before development or occupancy. See the requirement that the redevelopment be served by public water and public sewerage facilities.

Outdoor unenclosed waste, including pallets, trash, cardboard, and old tires, may not be displayed or stored unless specifically approved by the Township as part of site-plan approval. See the unenclosed waste restriction.

A data-center project, as a non-one-family-residential use, generally requires site-plan approval before the Zoning Officer may issue a zoning permit; the zoning permit is required before construction or a change of use. See the site-plan prerequisite and zoning-permit requirement.

New nonresidential construction on an unimproved lot is subject to a development fee equal to 2.5% of the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements; additions to existing nonresidential structures are also subject to a 2.5% fee on the increase in equalized assessed value, subject to stated exemptions. See the nonresidential development-fee provisions.

For a site-plan application involving a permitted use, one electric-vehicle charging station is required for every 50 parking stalls, except for developments containing one to four residential units; a data center would not fall within that exception. See the required charging-station ratio.

If a data-center project is located in a flood hazard area, the owner or authorized agent must obtain a floodplain development permit before beginning development; the application fee is $300 for nonresidential and mixed-use properties. See the floodplain permit requirement and nonresidential permit fee.

Flood-hazard-area development must satisfy additional design, elevation, anchoring, flood-resistant-material, utility, and flood-storage requirements; in particular, new nonresidential buildings must generally be elevated to the Local Design Flood Elevation or meet specified dry-floodproofing requirements. See the habitable and nonresidential building requirements.

Data centers are expressly permitted as principal uses in the Warehouse/Light Industrial Redevelopment Overlay Zone, which covers Block 421.1, Lots 1.03, 1.04, and 6.03. The permission remains subject to the overlay’s development standards and required approvals.

The overlay also permits all uses allowed in the LI-1 and LI-5 Zones, providing data-center projects with access to those districts’ broader permitted-use framework.

The overlay allows a combined maximum of 2,400,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area for all buildings in the redevelopment area, supporting large-scale development.

Principal commercial buildings in the overlay may reach 60 feet in height, while accessory buildings may reach 25 feet and two stories.

The overlay permits flexible parking arrangements: each use’s required parking is determined during site-plan review using a professional traffic engineer’s parking-demand study, confirmed by a Township-retained traffic professional.

Warehouse/light-industrial buildings may provide off-street truck loading bays and parking as needed to meet market or tenant demand, subject to the overlay’s impervious-coverage limits.

The overlay permits accessory uses and facilities useful to data centers, including employee and visitor parking, trailer storage, rail-service facilities, off-street loading, trash and recycling areas, entry gatehouses, and temporary construction trailers.

Projects in the overlay must be served by public water and public sewerage facilities, providing required utility infrastructure for development.

The overlay allows ground- or roof-mounted solar photovoltaic installations as permitted principal uses, enabling on-site renewable-energy facilities.

The Planning Board may grant waivers, variances, or other deviations from the overlay’s bulk and design standards when consistent with the Municipal Land Use Law, creating a mechanism for relief from otherwise applicable dimensional requirements.

The redevelopment area is exempt from the municipal tree-protection chapter when specified conditions are met, including showing tree removal on an approved site plan, retaining more than 15,000 trees based on an approved averaging survey, paying $4,000 per acre of forested land cleared, and meeting specified replacement-planting standards.

The overlay permits subdivisions within the redevelopment area for financing, leasing, and ownership purposes without creating setback requirements between those interior lots, which can facilitate project structuring and phased ownership.
