I agree with you guys, but this other AHJ says it is not allowed, not me. I don't see anything wrong with it. For all practical purpose, the only person who will use that outlet is the HVAC tech. Plus, when he is using that outlet, the compressor would likely not be on.
I have seen where there are 2 or more compressors at one spot, the EC usually runs a feeder over and puts in a sub panel and a WP GFI outlet.
