A handicapped toilet roughs the same as a regular bowl, 12" to the center of the flange. What makes the bowl a handicapped one is the additional height.

If it's a residential installation, then the minimum side clearance should be no less than 18" from the center of the closet flange.

If it's a commercial installation, then you need to check with your local Plumbing Inspector or Health Department to determine what their expectations are -- I could tell you how my local authority interprets the Americans With Disabilities Act requirements, but I've found that interpretations and expectations vary from locale to locale.
