It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that if a
court of competent jurisdiction declares any provisions of this chapter
to be invalid or ineffective, in whole or in part, the effect of such
decision shall be limited to those provisions which are expressly
stated in the decision to be invalid or ineffective, and all other
provisions of this chapter shall continue to be separately and fully
effective. The Borough Council hereby declares that it would have
passed this chapter and each section or part thereof, other than any
part declared invalid, if it had advance knowledge that any part would
be declared invalid. If the entire chapter should be declared invalid,
then the Riverside Borough Zoning Ordinance that was in effect immediately
prior to the enactment of this new chapter shall automatically be
reinstated as the Zoning Ordinance for Riverside Borough.
Allegations that this chapter or any amendment was enacted in
a procedurally defective manner shall be appealed as provided in state
law and be filed not later than 30 days after the intended effective
date of this chapter or amendment.
The preexisting Riverside Borough Zoning Ordinance, as amended,
is hereby repealed, in addition to the repeal of any other Borough
ordinances or resolutions or parts thereof that were adopted prior
to this chapter that are clearly in direct conflict with this chapter.
Under the authority conferred by the Pennsylvania Municipalities
Planning Code, as amended, the Borough Council of Riverside Borough hereby
enacts and ordains into an ordinance the attached document this date
of December 27, 2010. This chapter shall become effective in five
calendar days.
