- A. The plane coordinates used to express the position or location of a point on the earth's surface within an appropriate plane coordinate system zone shall consist of two distances which shall be expressed in meters and decimals of a meter or in feet and decimals of a foot. One of these distances, to be known as the East or X-coordinate, shall give the distance east of the Y-axis; the other distance, to be known as the North or Y-coordinate, shall give the distance north of the X-axis. The Y-axis of any zone shall be parallel with the central meridian of that zone. The X-axis of any zone shall be at right angles to the central meridian of that zone.
- B. When the values are expressed in feet, the U.S. survey foot shall be used as the standard foot for the Louisiana Plane Coordinate System.
