County Lot at 7700 S Central Ave Could Go to Apex Collaborative
A Nov. 10 LA County supervisors motion would let the county negotiate with Apex Collaborative on affordable housing at 7700 S Central Ave, capped at $108,000.

A motion on the Nov. 10 Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agenda would clear the way for Apex Collaborative to negotiate housing on a county-owned lot at 7700 S Central Ave. in unincorporated Florence-Firestone. The agenda shows only what Supervisor Holly Mitchell proposed. We could not find a statement of proceedings, so the vote outcome is unverified.
Why it matters
The motion would find the lot exempt surplus land under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(A), described as proposed for affordable housing and essential services. That finding lets a county skip the standard surplus-land offer process, which is why the exemption language matters to anyone eyeing public land. The item sits under the Second District’s Corridors to Community initiative.

It also pairs the lot with a second property. The motion would direct the county to negotiate a lease of the vacant building at 7672 S Central Ave. to the nonprofit Juntos Florence-Firestone Together for community programs and services.
The numbers
The motion would let the Department of Economic Opportunity negotiate and sign an exclusive negotiation agreement with Apex Collaborative for an initial 9 months, extendable by up to two 3-month periods. Predevelopment costs would not exceed $108,000. It also waives Board Policy 5.100 for the agreements and finds the actions exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. The agenda gives no unit count, budget or financing plan.
What’s next
An exclusive negotiation agreement is a negotiating window, not a deal. Watch for the board’s recorded action, the signed agreement, and any project plans that would reveal unit counts and funding. More county land plays are on our Los Angeles market page.
