The permit was issued in 2016 with a NOVEMBER 2, 2019 expiration date, tolled until APRIL 13, 2020 after a failed petition for reconsideration of the permit's grant. A third tolling request based on the pandemic was denied and the deadline set at OCTOBER 30th; LEVINE/SCHWAB appealed and also filed another modification request to specify a new site. The Commission said that with radio considered an "essential business" under CALIFORNIA's coronavirus restrictions, construction could have been commenced and accomplished in time.
