II. The plan may provide that assessments shall be made:
(a) At one time and assessments so made may be prorated over a period not exceeding the number of years which the plan shall provide to defray the construction costs of the public parking facilities; or
(b) From year to year upon the owners or lessees of leasehold interests at the time such assessment is made, their just proportion of the construction costs which shall become due in that year, including the amount of principal and interest due during the year on any bonds or notes issued to provide funds to pay such construction costs.
