-the effects of the proposed subdivision adding or acting together with existing sites and activities

-the effects of new sites and activities that may be created in the future which will add to act together with the proposed subdivision.

•In considering the likelihood that subdivisions resulting in cumulative effects may establish in the future, the council will consider (but not be limited to) the following:
