Incident Analysis - Incident Density - Remove Optional Raster Output Layer and replace with Kernel Density Tool

[Dbarnes1]

After speaking with the spatial statistics team, I learned that the option to have a Raster Output Layer from the Optimized Hot Spot Analysis has gone away as part of ArcGIS Pro due to issues with setting the extent of the output raster layer. While we haven't noticed major issues with it in our our Incident Density model yet, but best practice would be to remove it as an output parameter from our Incident Density model.

For reference, in ArcMap the Optional Density Surface exists:

But in Pro, there is no Optional Density Surface:

Possible Solution

1. Incorporate the Kernel Density tool into the Incident Density model so that we can get a raster output that will be supported in future versions of ArcGIS Pro.

@Dbarnes1 is this something that will take time and we will need to change the templates in order to complete? Looking at marking this as Version - After Next.

@mfunk definitely a Version - After Next enhancement
