1196.17   CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, SUBSTITUTION.
   (a)   Conflicts. Any and all provisions contained elsewhere in these Codified Ordinances, controlling or purporting to control signs or their installation, are hereby abrogated and repealed.
   (b)   Severability. If any provision or portion of this chapter or rules adopted hereunder is invalidated by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions or portions will not be affected, impaired or nullified and will continue in full force and effect.
   (c)   Substitution. The owner of any sign which is otherwise allowed by this Code may substitute non-commercial copy in lieu of any other commercial or non-commercial copy. This substitution of copy may be made without any additional approval or permitting. The purpose of this provision is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over noncommercial speech or favoring of any particular non-commercial message over any other non-commercial message. This provision prevails over any more specific provision to the contrary.
