In the event any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence or phrase of this chapter is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remainder of the chapter shall continue to be effective. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this chapter imposes a tax or charge, which is therefore unlawful as to certain but not all affected properties, then as to those certain properties, an exception or exceptions from the imposition of the park maintenance fee shall be created and the remainder of the chapter and the fees imposed thereunder shall continue to apply to the remaining properties without interruption. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting the city’s authority to levy special assessments in connection with public improvements pursuant to applicable law.
