Clear width is required to be 31-3/4" per ANSI A117.1, Section 1004.5.2.
Nice visual posted. I found this online, please verify.
Type=B units

Also consider; if you can pass through it in both directions it must comply but if you can only reach into it like a shallow pantry or linen closet, it could be less.
