(

a) The purpose of this

section is to ensure that logistics use developments, beginning January 1, 2026, are sited in locations that minimize adverse impacts on residential communities and enhance transportation efficiency. This is achieved by restricting logistics use development to roadways that are suited to handle the associated traffic and that predominantly serve commercial, agricultural, or industrial uses. (b)

(1) Any new logistics use development shall be sited on roadways that meet the following classifications: (

A) Arterial roads. (

B) Collector roads. (

C) Major thoroughfares. (

D) Local roads that predominantly serve commercial, agricultural, or industrial uses.

(2) For purposes of this chapter, local roads shall be considered to predominantly serve commercial, agricultural, or industrial uses if more than percent of the properties fronting the road within 1,000 feet of the site’s truck entrances and exits are designated for commercial, agricultural, or industrial use according to the local zoning ordinance. (

c) A waiver may be granted where siting on the designated roadways pursuant to subdivision (

b) is impractical due to unique geographic, economic, or infrastructure-related reasons. The waiver shall be approved by the city, county, or city and county, provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following:

(1) There is no feasible alternative site that exists within the designated roadways.

(2) A traffic analysis has been completed and submitted to the local approving authority.

(3) The site is an existing industrial zone or an existing industrial or agricultural zone for an agricultural-related logistics use project.

(4) The proposed site will incorporate mitigations to minimize traffic and environmental impacts on residential areas to the greatest extent feasible.
