(a) Each section and each part of each section of the Codified Ordinances is hereby declared to be an independent section or part of a section and, notwithstanding any other evidence of legislative intent, it is hereby declared to be the controlling legislative intent that if any such section or part of a section, or any provision thereof, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held to be invalid, the remaining sections or parts of sections and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby, and it is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that the Codified Ordinances would have been adopted independently of such sections or parts of a section so held to be invalid.
(b) Should any decision by a court of competent jurisdiction render this codification or the Act of 1957, July 10, P. L. 631, Section 1 (the enabling legislation by the authority of which this codification has been compiled and adopted) invalid or unconstitutional, it is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of Council that the body of the ordinances of the City of York as originally adopted shall be and remain in full force and effect to the same extent as they would be had this codification not been adopted.
