Note: this module is a continuation of "Site Selection 1: Raster analysis".

This module is the second part of the "site selection" problem that we already presented in the previous module: Imagine that you work for a company that is considering setting up a retail store in the area of Hadley, Massachusetts (US). They have asked you to produce a map with potential areas for their consideration. The areas of interest should be flat (less than 3 degrees slope), close to roads for ease of access (less?than 150 m from roads) and should fall in the zones allocated by the government to business/industrial areas in the town of Hadley.

We will extract the comercial areas from a zoning dataset, we will create a 150 m road buffer and find the intersection of these two layers with with the flat areas layer (< 3 degrees slope) that we created in the raster analysis module.
