measure that? How do we quantify it? How do we determine whether there's an adverse impact <br /> or not? <br /> JACKSON: So, I think we attempted to answer that at the last meeting, at the <br /> Leeward Planning Commission. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: Yes. <br /> JACKSON: We generally use the guidance document for assessing cumulative <br /> impacts that was provided by the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development(OPSD) and <br /> they have a checklist that they go through. Basically, you look at temporal effects and spatial <br /> effects based on the resource, and you go through and identify what the resource is and what the <br /> temporal and spatial effects of the activity or development would be on that resource. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: So, as a follow up question. Is our County, are we required, can <br /> we provide, can we create additional tools to understand adverse impact or are we required to <br /> only be guided by those State level rules? <br /> JACKSON: We absolutely have the ability to create our own tools. This <br /> information that was provided by OPSD is just a guideline. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: General. <br /> JACKSON: Yes. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: Broad direction. <br /> JACKSON: Yes. <br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: Thank you that's helpful. <br /> DEFRANCO: Thank you Commissioner. Is there any other questions for — <br /> VITOUSEK: Yes, Chair. <br /> DEFRANCO: Oh, yes Commissioner Vitousek. <br /> VITOUSEK: A couple of questions. Is there any exemption in the rules for <br /> kuleana use or cultural use of sites for habitation? <br /> JACKSON: Not specifically at this time. I know there was a bill at the State <br /> Legislature, and I think it's still active that addresses that. So, if those changes are adopted then <br /> we can incorporate that into the next round of rule changes. <br /> 8 <br /> EXHIBIT B (DRAFT) <br />
