B. The benefit from improved street lighting varies according to the relative size of the affected lots; residential lots benefit from improved street lighting uniformly because of the small variation in size throughout the District;

C. The non-ad valorem special assessments levied represent a fair and reasonable apportionment of the cost of the special benefit received by each lot and do not represent a fair share of the cost of general governmental service provided to residents in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County; and
