A permittee or registrant is deemed to acknowledge that its rights are subject to the regulatory and police powers of the City to adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to the safety and welfare of the public and is deemed to agree to comply with all applicable general laws and ordinances enacted by the City pursuant to such powers. Any conflict between the provisions of a registration or of a right-of-way permit and any other present or future lawful exercise of the City's regulatory or police powers shall be resolved in favor of the latter. 4.10.34 Severability. If any Section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Section is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof. If a regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction should determine by a final non-appealable order that any permit, right or registration issued under this Section or any portion of this Section is illegal or unenforceable, then any such permit, right or registration granted or deemed to exist hereunder shall be considered as a revocable permit with mutual right in either party to terminate without cause upon giving sixty (60) days written notice to the other. The requirements and conditions of such a revocable permit shall be the same requirements and conditions as set forth in the permit, right or registration, respectively, except for conditions relating to the terms of the permit and the right of termination. If a permit, right or registration shall be considered a revocable permit as provided herein, the permittee must knowledge the authority of the City Council to issue such revocable permit and the power to revoke it. Nothing in this Section precludes the City from requiring a franchise agreement with the applicant, as allowed by law, in addition to requirements set forth herein. 4.10.35 Non-Exclusive Remedy.
