If any provision of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived or of any rule, regulation or determination made thereunder, or the application thereof to any person, agency or circumstance, is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the ordinance, rule, regulation or determination, and the application of the provisions to other persons, agencies or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. The invalidity of any section or sections of the chapter shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance.

(Ord. of 2-3-2025(1), § 1(Exh. A))

The ordinance from which this chapter is derived shall take effect upon its passage and shall take precedence over any prior ordinance or any parts of prior ordinances inconsistent herewith. Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of the ordinance shall be considered as a continuance and modification of the old ordinance rather than a[n] abrogation of the old ordinance and a reenactment of a new one.
