Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council

Published October 1, 2026 · Updated October 2, 2026

The Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council covers central Hollywood, which its website describes as generally bounded by Hollywood Boulevard, Melrose Avenue, Gower Street and La Brea Avenue, including the Santa Monica Boulevard and Fountain Avenue corridors, in Council District 13. Under the City's Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils, anyone who lives, works or owns property in the area is a stakeholder, as is anyone who declares a community interest there through a school, nonprofit, religious or other community group.

Latest as of October 1, 2026

On August 24 the board voted 8-0 to file Community Impact Statements opposing Council File 15-0989-S68, the City's Enhanced City Resources Master Agreement for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Council File 26-2000, the new Council committee structure that splits housing and homelessness into separate committees. The same agenda listed letters on public restroom access in Hollywood and on Godfrey Hotel operations, and a June 6, 2027 board election day.
