The Director of Planning and Development or his/her designee shall grant a permit for stockpiling for sale or resale, provided that the plan of the proposed project complies with all the provisions of this chapter and demonstrates that the parcel and the surrounding properties will be protected from significant adverse consequences of such stockpiling.
