Explanation:
Marvin & Charlotte Gottlieb were pioneers of the City of Hollywood. As a family, the Gottlieb’s contributed in shaping the City into what it is today.
Marvins’ parents, Hyman and Sadie Gottlieb moved to Hollywood in 1950 and became fixtures in the community. Marvin and his family moved to Hollywood in 1954 and eventually all of their children and families were living and building in Hollywood.
Marvin and his father Hyman teamed up and began building homes for young families moving into the area. They were one of the first to start building in 1959 in Hollywood Hills as Hollywood Bilt-Rite Homes and Lomar Construction and continued through the completion of Emerald Hills in the 1980’s.
In addition to living here many of the extended family members started their own businesses in Hollywood. The Gottlieb family has worked hard over the decades to improve the community.
On November 6, 2024, Commissioner Biederman proposed co-naming North 46th Avenue from Hollywood Boulevard to Sheridan Street “Gottlieb Avenue.” The request received Commission support for the co-naming.
The Naming Policy provides that any proposed naming that is initiated by a City Commissioner shall be placed on a publicly noticed City Commission agenda for consideration without having to first be evaluated by the Naming Review Committee. The City Commission member who proposes the naming is encouraged to seek community input for the proposed change.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will not fiscally impact the City.
