How much do lot owners receive from leasing to Christmas tree lot businesses?
I'm curious about the typical monthly lease for a Christmas tree lot business or pumpkin patch business in the average vacant lot. I'm sure it would depend on square footage of the lot as well, and geographic location. 

I'm located in the Los Angeles area, South Bay region, if you are familiar with the area. There are always vacant lots that have been empty for 10+ years that tend to lease out their space to these enterprises every year in October and December. I'm wondering how much they make from that. Does it typically merely offset property taxes? Or is there greater financial incentive?

I'm looking at leasing a vacant lot under the [Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone](http://planning.lacounty.gov/uaiz) policy and wonder if a lot owner would be keen on going for the property tax incentive it provides, over their usual yearly holiday business leasings.
