It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, and phrases of this code are severable. If any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section of this code shall be declared unconstitutional by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, the unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and sections of this code, since it would have been enacted by the City Council without the incorporation in this code of the unconstitutional phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
