The board in its investigation shall be required to seek theadvice of the Oregon Disabilities Commission or its designee indealing with architectural barrier waivers. If the appeals boardfinds that the proposal submitted with the application would con-stitute a substantial compliance with, or an acceptable alternativeto, the particular standard or specification in view of the objec-tives of ORS 447.210 to 447.280, the waiver shall be granted. Ifthe board finds otherwise, the application shall be promptlydenied with notice to the requesting person or governmentalentity of the denial.
