Thanks so much for your help Chris. Unfortunately I don't have an advanced ArcGIS license. I can see that this is going to be a complicated process however I approach it. My strategy for now is going to be requiring the planners to define the notification area until I can develop an effective solution. In this way I can remove liablility from the GIS department. I'll post here if I figure something out. Cindy ... View more

I don't think the buffer line would need to be shown. I would probably just highlight the affected parcels. The process doesn't need to be automated. I'd like to find a good balance between time and accuracy though. Cindy ... View more

Here's my basic idea: I drew 500' lines radiating from the parcel. Then I broke out the parts of the lines that crossed a road and added them to the end of the line. I drew the buffer by just connecting the endpoints of the new lines and smoothing the resulting polygon. ... View more

Yes Chris, you got it correct. It's not so hard when the ROW is parallel to the property. You could just add the width of the ROW to the buffer. But most of the time roads intersect the buffer at different angles and may not be a uniform width. Thank you for your suggestions below! I'm starting to think of the problem in new ways. Cindy ...

Thanks Chris.  We do not have ROW polygons. We have a legal property line layer and a matching parcel layer for assessor's parcels. I am using ArcGIS Desktop but I could use Online or Pro. version 10.4.1 In the past I have used the buffer tool to draw a polygon 500 feet out from the boundary of the parcel. I just found out that I am supposed to exclude ROW. I'm not really sure how that could be done aside from just estimation. Is it possible to configure the buffer tool to account for ROW? ... View more
