IntroP3T2c

This brings us to Summary Task 2c:
Identify and Create a Preferred Site.

:You'll now select a candidate site and
export the selected feature to a new

polygon feature class named
Preferred_Site."

To do this you will first make the
Candidate_Sites the only selectable layer.

Make sure your Site Map is the active map.
In the Contents pane, click on List by

Selection. Right-click Candidate_Sites.
Go to the Selection menu and choose

"Make this the only selectable layer."
You should see only this layer checked

on now.

Next, we are going to change the Basemap
of the Site Map, so make sure the Site Map

is active. Click the Map tab. Choose the
Basemap drop-down and choose

Imagery Hybrid. Now what you're going
to do is zoom around on the map,

panning in and out, in the two different
linked maps and try and discover a parcel

location where you would like to have
your food trailer located.

So switch back to List by Drawing Order
and turn off the Zoning layer that

you no longer need, and turn off
Compatible_Zoning_Districts, and turn off

Food_Trailers and
Food_Trailer_Competition.

and so you should have in the Site Map
the Candidate_Sites layer and if you

want to you can click on it and choose
Appearance and set some transparency

so you can kind of see through.

And so these are parcels that have the
correct zoning that are outside of the one

mile buffer of your signature dish type.
And so think about an area of Austin that

you like, where you might want to have
your food trailer. Turn Layers off and on.

For instance, I live on the south side of
Austin, so I'm interested in my food

trailer being down on the south side.
And so I'm going to zoom in here and

take a look.

Looks like there is some new
construction going on here.

Don't want to do it there. Ah, this looks
good. This is a candidate site.

It has a nice big parking lot.
It looks like there are plenty of

businesses around. There are some
restaurants across the street, but not on

this side of the street as much.
And so I'm going to click on this parcel.

I'm going to right-click and choose Select,
and this is going to be my preferred site.

So I'm taking this parcel as my preferred
site and if I zoom out, let's see where

that one-mile buffer is. My nearest
buffer is way over here, so it's plenty

far away.

And so now that I have my parcel selected
I'm going to right-click Candidate_Sites

and choose Data, Export Features.

Make sure it saved in the geodatabase
and give it the name of Preferred_Site

and click Run. This is going to take the
selected polygon from the Candidate_Sites

layer, export it out to its own future
class within my project geodatabase,

and add that as a layer to the map.
So now if I right-click and choose a

nice bright yellow color,
I'll see it visible on the map here.

Click the Map tab and clear Selected
Features.

And be sure to save your project
before proceeding.
