and shall evaluate the overall and cumulative effects of the action on the Special Management Area. Such adverse effects shall include, but not be limited to, the potential cumulative impact of individual developments, each one of which taken in itself might not have a substantial adverse effect and eliminate planning options. The proposed single-family dwelling is within a well-established residential development/subdivision that was created decades ago. Many of the shoreline parcels in this area are fully developed with single-family residential structures, related development, and landscaping. The Applicant has designed the development to be outside the 40-foot shoreline setback boundary, with the makai portion bounded by a legally non-conforming seawall. There is an existing shoreline access pathway on a County owned parcel located 130-feet south of the subject parcel which will not be impacted by the proposed project' lateral shoreline access is located along the shoreline area makai of the project parcel. No work, staging, or placement of heavy machinery will occur within the 40-foot shoreline setback area.

In reviewing the proposed development against the factors that may constitute a substantial adverse effect as listed under Planning Commission Rule 9-10 (H) (1-10), it 3
