The provisions of this Section are severable. If any court of competent
jurisdiction decides that any subsection, clause, sentence, part,
or provision of this Section is illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional,
such decision shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any of the remaining
subsections, clauses, sentences, parts, or provisions of this Bill
of Rights and its prohibitions. The People of Ferguson Township hereby
declare that in the event of such a decision, and the determination
that the court's ruling is legitimate, they would have enacted
this amendment even without the subsection, clause, sentence, part,
or provision that the court decides is illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional.
All inconsistent provisions of prior ordinances and zoning ordinances
adopted at any time by Ferguson Township are hereby held in abeyance,
but shall take immediate effect in the event this Bill of Rights and
its protective prohibitions are overturned.
