As of the effective date of this chapter, the previously existing Zoning Bylaw of the Town of Hopkinton is hereby repealed. Any existing bylaws or such parts thereof as may be inconsistent herewith are also hereby repealed.
The provisions of this chapter are hereby declared to be separable, and if any such provision or the application of such provision to any person or circumstances shall be held invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not be construed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any of the remaining provisions or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of this chapter that said remaining sections would have been adopted had such invalid or unconstitutional provisions not been included herein.
This chapter shall take effect upon satisfaction of the requirements of MGL c. 40A, § 5.
