The city only says "A/C units may only project 1.0m into the side setback" and says nothing about how much space is required to the property line. I've seen everything from 0.2m (we would be able to meet this) to 1.2m (we cannot meet this) for space from the A/C to the property line, so it's very confusing. Looks like I can utilize the bulkhead to access the backyard but it would be a bit more of an involved install versus the side of the house.

From the land use bylaw:

Central air conditioning equipment may project a maximum of 1.0 metres into a side setback area.

You most likely have a 1.2m setback for a typical duplex.
