Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of the railroad right-of-way.

Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to the center lines of streets shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of scale shown on the Zoning Map.

Boundaries following the shoreline of a river, lake, bayou or other body of water shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of a change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of rivers, lakes, bayous or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.

In every case where land has not been specifically included with a zoning district, the same is hereby declared to be in the SFR District.

No use of the surface of any lake or stream shall be permitted for any purpose not permitted on the land from which the use emanates.

Any use which is located on or over the surface of any river, lake, bayou or other body of water shall be subject to the same zoning regulations and be used for the same purposes as are permitted under this chapter for the land from which the use emanates.
