I get it now, if that is what you were asking. You could still use the centroid, use the 400 foot radius and then select those parcels that completely contain
the 400 foot buffer poly (retain parcel-id in the buffer so you can select out the correct buffer poly for each parcel).
That being said, it will not rule out those parcels that have funky geometry that could still contain a 400 foot radius within an area away from the geographic
center of a parcel… that’s a thinker but looks like that ET Geowizards solution that Matthew provided may solve that problem.

You need the largest sized circle that will fir inside the polygon?
Riding on the centroid idea, perhaps using the find nearest tool would be useful in achieving a proper radius length.

Is there a way to automate creating a single maximum-sized circle within each polygon of a parcel layer? The polygons could be any shape.
This would be useful for identifying potential parcels that could contain a Massachusetts Zone I (400’ radius) of a proposed water supply well.
