The National City Planning Commission meeting on July 21, 2025, focused on a significant motion regarding a local restaurant's operational permits. The commission discussed and approved a resolution for La Maquilad Bridal by Dulce, located at 1524 McKinley Avenue, allowing for beer and wine sales and live entertainment.

Vice Chair Cassell initiated the motion, proposing that the project be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under existing facilities guidelines. The commission agreed on specific hours for alcohol sales, set from 8 AM to 10 PM daily. Additionally, live entertainment will be permitted indoors from 10 AM to 11:30 PM and outdoors from 10 AM to 10 PM.

The motion received a second from Commissioner Sanchez and was subsequently approved by the commission. Vice Chair Cassell expressed optimism for the restaurant's future, hoping it would bring positive experiences to the Westside community.

The approval marks a significant step for the establishment, enhancing its operational capabilities while adhering to local regulations. The commission's decision reflects ongoing efforts to support local businesses and promote community engagement through entertainment options.
