We are committed to being a valued community partner. As such, we require that licensees maintain the licensed property per the terms of the license agreement.

These are some low-intensity uses we may consider on our property:

• Greenbelts (grass, shrubs, and trees with a maximum height and mature growth limitation based upon the Operational Criteria)
• Trails for walking, hiking, horseback riding, and non-motorized biking
• Horticulture (i.e., nurseries) and agriculture, except community gardens
• Wireless communication facilities within the footprint of the tower or removable shelters/equipment (refer to Carrier Solutions Process)
• Temporary activities, such as TV filming (refer to the Filming Process)

A site meeting will be scheduled after our preliminary review of your license request has determined that your intended use is compatible and does not interfere with our existing facilities, operating requirements, and future improvements as defined in the SCE Constraints & Guidelines.

The entire process may take several months, depending on the specifics of your request and how quickly you provide the necessary information. After our preliminary review confirms compatibility with SCE Constraints & Guidelines, we'll schedule a site meeting to ensure your intended use does not interfere with our existing facilities, operating requirements, and future improvements.
