A.

The boundaries of the various districts and overlay zones are shown on the Official Zoning Map of Ascension Parish, Louisiana. This map appears as Appendix XI of this Unified Development Code, with an accompanying legend that explains the map's symbols. The zoning maps, including all notations, are part of this ordinance.

B.

The chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the chairman of the Parish Council and the Parish President shall sign and date the zoning map.

C.

Unless otherwise shown on the zoning map, the boundary lines of zoning districts and overlay zones are lot lines, property lines, the center lines of streets or alleys or such lines extended, railroad right-of-way lines, the center lines of creeks and streams or corporate limit lines as they existed at the time of the enactment of this ordinance, or otherwise section lines, as they exist within the various townships and ranges. Boundary lines which do not coincide with these landmarks shall be determined by using the scale of the zoning map. If a boundary line traverses a parcel or tract of land and if a minimum of 51 percent of the property is located within a particular district, then the entire parcel or tract would be considered as being zoned that particular district. If a parcel or tract of land whose zoning is affected by this provision is subdivided, each individual tract, parcel, or lot of land created by the subdivision of the original tract shall be governed by the zoning district in which the newly created tract, parcel or lot is located.
