A. The provisions of this chapter shall be interpreted to be consistent with applicable Federal and state law, and shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, to cover only matters not preempted by Federal or state law.

B. If any article, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, term, provision, condition, covenant or portion of this chapter is for any reason declared or held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or superseded by State or Federal legislation, rules, regulations or decision, the remainder of this chapter shall not be affected thereby but shall be deemed as a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof, and each remaining section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, term, provision, condition, covenant or portion of this chapter shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event any provision is preempted by Federal or state laws, rules or regulations, the provision shall be preempted only to the extent required by law and any portion not preempted shall survive. If any Federal or state law resulting in preemption is later repealed, rescinded, amended or otherwise changed to end the preemption, such provision shall thereupon return to full force and effect and shall thereafter be binding without further action by the City. [BC 4.15.200, added by Ordinance No. 4684, 5/4/16]
