I am using ArcGIS 10.4.1. I make a map. I am have two shapefiles: one polyline and one polygon. The polyline is a road and polygon is a building.

The shapefiles overlap. I want to automatically resolve the overlapping features. I want to make a "After" picture.

If polygon is placed at the center of the line, it doesn't matter which direction it moves. You only need to move to either side. I want to moving distance is likely to be 15m-20m away from the road. The building should be located only near the road as shown.

I wonder if ArcGIS can automatically shift buildings by road.

I don't have programming skills. However, the GIS program is well used.I hope to solve this problem with ArcGIS.

How to automatically move overlapping features?

The above figure is one line and the figure below is three lines. The three lines mean the center line of the road and the two outside mean the width of the road

Script below use Near tool to calculate distance and angle from polygon centroids to nearest line and then move them either closer or further away depending on the specified desired distance. Create a File Geodatabase and import the shapefiles and use as inputs in script.

You can execute the code in the Python window in ArcMap.

import arcpy,math
#Inputs, change paths and fc names to match your data
polygon_fc=r'C:TEST.gdbSample_points_buffer'
line_fc=r'C:TEST.gdbLine'
#Output, change path (and fc name if you want)
output_polygon_fc=r'C:TEST.gdbSample_points_buffer_near'
#Desired distance from polygon centroids to nearest line. Change
desired_distance=200

temp_points=r'in_memorypoints'

def bearing_to_radians(bearing):
 return math.radians((450-bearing)%360)

#Create centroid points, calculate near distance and angle and join this to polygons
arcpy.FeatureToPoint_management(in_features=polygon_fc, out_feature_class=temp_points)
arcpy.Near_analysis(in_features=temp_points, near_features=line_fc,location=True, angle=True, method='PLANAR')
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(in_features=polygon_fc, out_layer='polygon_lyr')
arcpy.AddJoin_management(in_layer_or_view='polygon_lyr', in_field='OBJECTID', join_table=temp_points, 
 join_field='OBJECTID')
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(in_features='polygon_lyr', out_feature_class=output_polygon_fc)

#Move the polygons
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(output_polygon_fc,['SHAPE@X','SHAPE@Y','points_NEAR_DIST','points_NEAR_ANGLE']) as cursor:
 for row in cursor:
 newx=row[0]+(row[2]-desired_distance)*math.sin(bearing_to_radians(row[3]))
 newy=row[1]+(row[2]-desired_distance)*math.cos(bearing_to_radians(row[3]))
 row[0]=newx
 row[1]=newy
 cursor.updateRow(row)
