Should any section, subsection, paragraph, clause or provision of this ordinance be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, the same shall not affect the ordinance as a whole or any part thereof, other than the part so declared to be invalid or unconstitutional. It is further expressly provided that such section and part of a section herein, so far as an inducement for the passage of this ordinance is concerned, is independent of every other section and every other part of section, and not any section or any part of section is an inducement for the enactment of this ordinance.

All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed, and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its final passage and publication as provided by law. By the passage of this ordinance, no presently illegal use shall be deemed to have been legalized unless specifically such use is a conforming use under this ordinance. Otherwise, such use shall remain a nonconforming use, or an illegal use, as the case may be. It is further the intent and declared purpose of this ordinance that no offense committed, and no liability, penalty or forfeiture, either civil or criminal, incurred prior to the time the present Zoning Ordinance was adopted, shall be discharged or affected by such adoption; but prosecutions and suits for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeiture[s] may be instituted, or causes presently pending proceeded with in all respects, as if this ordinance had not been adopted.
