§ 33-3.3.5. Interpretation of boundaries and classification.

When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Boundaries indicated as following or approximately parallel to the right-of-way lines or centerlines of streets, alleys, and other roadways; platted lot lines, parish limits, and other boundary lines; the boundaries or centerlines of canals, the river, lakes, other water courses, and other natural topographic features, shall be construed to be such lines or boundaries or construed as parallel at a distance indicated by dimension or scale of the official zoning map;

(2)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;

(3)

In unsubdivided property or tracts, where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundaries shall be determined by use of the dimensions or scale of the official zoning map;

(4)

Whenever any street, alley, or public way not subject to zoning regulations is vacated by official action of Jefferson Parish or the State of Louisiana, the zoning district line adjoining each side of such street, alley, or other public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all areas so involved shall then be subject to all regulations of the extended districts; and

(5)

Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground vary from those shown on the official zoning map, or in case any further uncertainty exists, the planning director shall determine the location of boundaries.
