It shall be considered that it is the intent of the legislative body, in enacting any ordinance, that if any part of the ordinance be held unconstitutional, the remaining parts shall remain in force unless the ordinance provides otherwise, or unless the remaining parts are so essentially and inseparably connected with and dependent upon the unconstitutional part that it is apparent that the legislative body would not have enacted the remaining parts without the unconstitutional part, or unless the remaining parts standing alone are incomplete and incapable of being executed in accordance with the intent of the legislative body.
(2008 Code, § 1.04.090)
