Wilshire Center-Koreatown Neighborhood Council

Published October 1, 2026 · Updated October 2, 2026

The Wilshire Center-Koreatown Neighborhood Council covers Wilshire Center and Koreatown, from the 101 Freeway and Melrose Avenue south to Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street, between Western Avenue and Vermont Avenue and Hoover Street, per its bylaws, which divide it into five sub-districts. 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.

The board's July 13 agenda listed $16,000 in proposed funding for five organizations, including $4,000 each to the Koreatown YMCA, the Bangladeshi Association of California and the Los Angeles Korean Festival Foundation, and a status report on a letter to Councilmember Heather Hutt opposing zoning case 2026-2662-CUB-CUX, which the agenda says the Zoning Administrator had approved. The Aug. 10 meeting was cancelled. The September 14 agenda included naming the intersection of 8th Street and Ardmore Avenue "Taylor Steak House Square" and filling one vacant Business seat and two vacant At-Large seats.
