what sections of the california accessibility code cover clearances at NON fixed tables?

I see section 1122B covers FIXED or BUILT-IN tables with with 28” to 34” top of table; knee clearance 27” aff min., 30” wide & 19” deep….

Do these same dims apply to NON fixed tables as well? What section of the CA code confirms this?
 
CBC 1104B.5 Says All seating shall comply with1122B

1104B.5 Dining, banquet and bar facilities.

Seating. Each dining, banquet and bar area shall have one wheelchair seating space for each 20 seats, with at least one minimum wheelchair seating space per functional area. Such seating shall be designed and arranged to permit use by wheelchair occupants, and shall comply with Section 1122B, Fixed or Built-in Seating, Tables and Counters. Access to such seating spaces shall be provided with main aisles not less than 36 inches (914 mm) clear width. In establishments where separate areas are designatedfor smoking and nonsmoking patrons, the required number of accessible fixed tables (or counters) shall be proportionally distributed between the smoking and nonsmoking areas. Accessible seating spaces shall be integrated with general seating to allow a reasonable selection of seating area and to avoid having one area specifically highlighted as the area for persons with disabilities.

The ratio of accessible seating is based on the total number of seats provided: Where food or drink is served at counters exceeding 34 inches (865 mm) in height for consumption by customers seated or standing at the counter, a portion of the main counter which is 60 inches (1525 mm) in length minimum shall be provided in compliance with Section 1122B.
