The paper towel dispenser and trash can are within the clear floor space of the water closet.

604.3.3 Clearance overlap. The required clearance
around the water closet shall be permitted to overlap
the water closet, associated grab bars, paper dispensers,
sanitary napkin receptacles, coat hooks, shelves, accessible
routes, clear floor space at other fixtures and the
turning space. No other fixtures or obstructions shall be
within the required water closet clearance.
And the vertical grab bar
around the water closet shall be permitted to overlap
the water closet, associated grab bars, paper dispensers,
sanitary napkin receptacles, coat hooks, shelves, accessible
routes, clear floor space at other fixtures and the
turning space. No other fixtures or obstructions shall be
within the required water closet clearance.
And the vertical grab bar

Vertical grab bar
Could be a sanitary napkin receptacle on the wall but might be to close to the lavatory (less than 15" to center).
If they are 4" tiles the grab bar on the side wall is too short.

We don't do vertical grab bars in FL.
The obvious answer is the Febreze requires pinching to operate. Should be one of those plug-in types.

Cant tell for sure
Assuming wall tiles are 4-inches:
The location of the Trash receptacle and the sink, though appears compliant, could interfere with a side transfer onto the toilet by pushing the wheelchair forward too far for a safe transfer.
- it appears like the Grab bar is less than 33-inches above the floor. Assuming wall tiles are 4-inches....
- it appears the tp dispenser is not at 19-inches. Assuming wall tiles are 4-inches....
- It appears the paper towel dispenser and the mirror are compliant in height

And the horizontal grab bar on the side wall does not extend at least 54 inches from the rear wall. (Count the 4 inch tiles.) See Section 604.5.1.1.

The a** gasket dispenser (and maybe also the paper towel dispenser) vs. the rear grab bar:

As we've discussed on other threads, you could attach the paper towel dispenser to the floor right in front of the water closet and it would still be compliant with 604.3.3:

Yes....But not the trash can unless you call it the napkin receptacle....

LOL, I could see someone arguing that it's a very big sanitary napkin receptacle... or a "shelf" with high edges, which dispenses used paper towels to those who are into recycling.

I had a toilet room with a 5' high plastic storage shelfs in the clear space siting on the floor once. (not a wall shelf). I had to approve it because the code allows shelfs in the clear space but it did not seem right since it took most of the space between the toilet and lavatory and blocks the space for a wheelchair.
I”m thinking they are 4-1/4” tiles. The old style, with self-spacing lugs.
