In the event any article, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance shall be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall in no manner affect the other articles, section, subsection, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this ordinance, which shall remain in full force and effect, as if the article, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional were not originally a part thereof. The governing authority hereby declares that it would have adopted the remaining parts of the ordinance if it had known that such part or parts hereof would be declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
