ETA Editor's Note

The 2013 CBC 11B-604.3 requirement for clearance in front of accessible water closets exceeds the 2010 ADAS requirement, but a door may swing into the added clearance.

The clearance around a water closet is shown in plan view to be 60 inches wide minimum and 56 inches deep minimum with additional maneuvering space in front of the water closet clear floor space, in which a door is permitted to swing over.
