How far should the light pole needs to be away from underground gas pipe? Will 12 inches be good enough?
 
Is there any aesthetic reason it has to be so close? How deep is the pipe? How deep will the hole for the pole be? If the pole falls over, will the base rip open the gas line?

What is the size of the pole base?
How deep is the pipe?

Most likely there are other codes and regulations other than the NEC which you need to consider.
