11B-306.2.3 Minimum required depth.
Exceptions:
2. The toe clearance shall extend 19 inches (483 mm) minimum under built-in dining and work surfaces required to be accessible by Section 11B-226.1.

11B-306.3.3 Minimum required depth.
Exceptions:
2. At dining and work surfaces required to be accessible by Section 11B-226.1, knee clearance shall extend 19 inches (483 mm) deep minimum at 27 inches (686 mm) above the finish floor or ground.

Specific reference to Section 11B-226.1 as the scoping for dining and work surfaces was removed because other sections of the code may require such surfaces to be accessible.
