Discrepancy. If there is any discrepancy between the description of <br />a district set forth above in Section 1, the map attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, or the metes <br />and bounds or equivalent description described in Section 2 above, the metes and <br />bounds or equivalent description shall prevail. <br /> <br />Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or <br />portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court <br />of competent jurisdiction, the remaining portions of this Ordinance shall nonetheless <br />remain in full force and effect. The Council of the City of Redwood City hereby declares <br />that it would have adopted each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion <br />of this Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, <br />sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions of this Ordinance be declared invalid or <br />unenforceable. <br /> <br />Section 5.
