(A) Effect on rights and liabilities under the existing flood damage prevention ordinance. This chapter in part is adopted due to re-enactment of some of the provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance enacted June 8, 1978, as amended, and it is not the intention to repeal but rather to re-enact and continue to enforce without interruption of such existing provisions, so that all rights and liabilities that have accrued thereunder are reserved and may be enforced. The enactment of this chapter shall not affect any action, suit or proceeding instituted or pending. All provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance of the City of Greenville enacted on June 8, 1978, as amended, which are not re-enacted herein are repealed.
(B) Effect upon outstanding building permits. Nothing herein contained shall require any change in the plans, construction, size or designated use of any development or any part thereof for which a floodplain development permit has been granted by the Local Floodplain Administrator or his or her authorized agents, before time of passage of this chapter; provided, however, that when construction is not begun under such outstanding permit within a period of 60 days subsequent to passage of this chapter or any revision thereto, construction or use shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
(C) Severability. If any section, clause, sentence, or phrase of this chapter is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, then said holding shall in no way effect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter.
