§ 89-152. Zoning district boundaries.

(a)

Interpretation of district boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning district as shown on the zoning map, the following rules apply:

(1)

District boundaries indicated as following streets, highways, or alleys, the center line of those streets, highways, or alleys are considered the boundaries.

(2)

District boundaries indicated to approximately follow the lot lines of land that has been or will be divided into blocks and lots are considered to be those lot lines.

(3)

In subdivided property the district boundary lines on the zoning map are determined by the scale appearing on the map.

(4)

District boundaries that follow a railroad line are deemed to be located midway between the main tracks of that railroad line.

(b)

Regulations of areas under water. All areas within the corporate limits of the City of Lafayette which are under water and not shown as included within any district are subject to all of the regulations of the district adjacent to the water area.

(c)

Movement of zoning boundary. Where a lot is divided by a district boundary line, the administrator may permit the less restricted portion of the lot to extend up to 30 feet into the more restricted portion if the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
