An attempt to commit an act prohibited by the ordinances in this chapter, Chapter 150, Article II, Chapter 250, Chapter 278, or Chapter 297, Article I, requires that the actor have an intent to perform acts and attain a result which, if accomplished, would constitute a violation of these ordinances and that he does acts towards the commission of the violation which demonstrate unequivocally, under all the circumstances, that he formed that intent and would commit the violation except for the intervention of another person or some other extraneous factor.

A person is concerned in the commission of an act prohibited by these
ordinances if he directly commits the act, intentionally aids and
abets the commission of it, or is a party to a conspiracy with another
to commit it or advises, hires, counsels, or otherwise procures another
to commit it. Such party is also concerned in the commission of any
other act which is committed in pursuance of the intended violation

who voluntarily changes his mind and no longer desires that the act
be committed and notifies the other parties concerned of his withdrawal
within a reasonable time before the commission of the violation so
as to allow the others also to withdraw.
