At the conclusion of the hearing, the board of directors shall finally determine the boundaries of the funding district and the zones therein and shall determine the amount of funding bonds to be issued, and the proportions of the bonds to be charged against each zone, which amounts shall not exceed the benefits to be derived by the lands within the funding district from the project for which the funding bonds are to be issued.
