I'll clear a few things up as a ICC Master Code Professional . If this is a ground floor apartment unit it is required by current code to have the disconnect at 48" rather than 6'7" so the owner occupant,if accessible, can disconnect. (I'm not horribly keen on the requirement but it is what the code says)
Regarding the shelving : I'd eliminate the small section in the pic and place melamine shelving (not able to hang cloths) anywhere you'd like other than the 30" clearance in front of the panel. I measure that 30 as on center line of the equipment. Sorry to say that shelving could not go in the area above the panel even if it is low for ADA. Nothing foreign above or below.
If the owner wants something installed after final I wouldn't do it. People are stupid/designs are stupid at times/and litigious at every single turn. The panel and com panel should be in a laundry area design wise IMHO with shelving over the washer dryer on the opposing wall of the entry to the room.
