One of our legal team requested the info. I suppose he's looking for a poster boy somewhere.

Would "actual harm" be a pre-requisite for legal standing in a case like this, or simply a nice example to obtain damages for the victim of the pre-empted ordinance?

The statute was written to provide standing without actual harm, JoJo. As you state, any actual harm would be grounds to seek damages in the suit.
