SECTION 2. The City Council finds and determines that the following facts require that this Ordinance take e£fect immediately as an Urgency Ordinance for the preservation of the health, safety, and g~.neral welfare of the citizens of Lynwood: Unintended variations between the provisions of Ordinance No. 909 and those of Ordinance No. 926 have created widespread confusion concerning the requirements of the City of Lynwood with respect to real estate signs. This con£usion has impaired the ability o£ those in the real estate profession to practice that profession in conformar.ce with the;applicable provisions of this Code and the ability of City Of~icials to enforce said provisions. SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdic- tion, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision; and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published in the Lynwood Press, a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published, and circulated in the City of Lynwood.
