However, nothing in this subsection shall be construed to restrict the authority of the City Council to enact complimentary or non-conflicting ordinances or take other such actions within its powers, where such ordinances or actions are designed to comply with or further the terms and purposes of this Article.
(b) In the event any other ballot initiative addressing in whole or in part the same subject matter as this Article is approved by a majority of the voters voting thereon at the same election, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) This Charter Amendment shall supersede and prevail over any initiative ordinance which amends the Pasadena Municipal Code, regardless of the number of affirmative votes received; and
(2) If this Article receives a greater number of affirmative votes than any other such proposed charter amendment, including one that would provide that property owners have the right to set the price at which they rent residential property, then this Article shall control in its entirety and the other proposed charter amendment shall be rendered void and without any legal effect; and
(3) If this Article receives fewer affirmative votes than any other such proposed charter amendment, including one that would provide that property owners have the right to set the prices at which they rent residential property, all provisions of this Article which are not directly contradicted by the initiative receiving a greater number of affirmative votes will apply to the extent permitted by law.
