The building that is going for LEED certification is on a zero lot line property.
There are no landscapes or anything else, just the building immediately surrounded by public sidewalks and a public park. It is safe to assume the property line and project boundary will the be the same and meet at the perimeter of the building itself. Can I still adjust the lighting boundary based on being adjacent to a public walkway on one side (which would be 5 feet away from property line) and adjacent public streets on the other three sides (which would be at the center line of the street)?

The lighting boundary can still be adjusted like any other project. Just like you described.
That 5' extra on the public walkway won't be very helpful to you.

Won't be helpful in what way?

Just my experience. If I add usable light to a walkway, it's very difficult to prevent the light from going past that 5' boundary line.
