Compare to:
Sec. 6-71 Severability.
If any Court shall determine that any word, clause, phrase, sentence, paragraph, or subsection of this Article is unconstitutional as worded, the Court shall first attempt to construe or interpret such unconstitutional provision so as to enable the same to be constitutional as so narrowed or construed. If the Court cannot so limit or construe such work or provision narrowly so as to render the same constitutional, it shall strike or modify only the minimum number of words, phrases, clauses, sentences or paragraphs as will be absolutely necessary to render the remainder constitutional. In no case shall a subordinate clause or phrase or words render the attached major section or provision unconstitutional, but instead shall be severed therefrom entirely, unless such severance renders the remainder wholly meaningless or unconstitutional.
(Ord. No. 92-9, § 5, 3-10-92)
