The amount of the residential waste program services assessment imposed in a fiscal year against a parcel of assessment property shall be determined pursuant to an apportionment methodology based upon a classification of property designed to provide a fair and reasonable apportionment of the residential waste program services costs among assessment properties on a basis reasonably related to the special benefit provided by the residential waste program services.
