375 BEALE STREET, SUITE 600 • SAN FRANCISCO CA • 94105 • 415.771.6000 • www.baaqmd.gov <br />May 3, 2021 <br />Eric Luchini <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Community Development Department <br />200 Old Bernal Avenue <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br />RE: 10x Genomics Project – Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />Dear Mr. Luchini, <br />Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) staff has reviewed the Mitigated <br />Negative Declaration (MND) for the 10x Genomics Project (Project). The Project would <br />redevelop a 14.75-acre site for commercial and office uses, research and development <br />(R&D), and light laboratory manufacturing. Building 1 would consist of a 2- and 3-story, <br />150,000 square foot operations facility building. Building 2 would consist of up to a 4-story, <br />115,000 square foot R&D facility. Building 3 would consist of up to a 4-story 116,062 square <br />foot R&D facility. In addition, the Project would include a maximum six-story parking <br />structure with 1,168 parking stalls and a surface parking lot with 90 parking stalls. <br />Air District staff supports the City’s efforts to focus development near transit. In addition, <br />Air District staff appreciates efforts to incorporate best management practices into the <br />Project’s design to minimize air quality and climate impacts. The Air District recommends <br />the following measures that can further reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) <br />emissions. <br />Recommendations to Reduce Mobile Emissions <br />Because the Project site is located 0.5 mile south of the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART <br />Station, Air District staff strongly encourages the City to develop a Transportation Demand <br />Management (TDM) Program to connect commuters from the BART Station to the Project <br />site and discourage single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel and associated air pollutant and <br />GHG emissions. Given the Project site’s proximity to transit, TDM measures could include: <br />x Shuttle service between BART and the Project site; <br />x Incentives to encourage transit use, carpooling, vanpooling, and non-SOV travel; <br />x Carshare programs; <br />x Secure bicycle parking and shower/locker room facilities; <br />x Bike-share station; <br />x Transit subsidies, including subsidies for first/last mile (e.g., bike share, scooter <br />share, ride share); and <br />x Safe and convenient pedestrian and bicyclist access to streets, sidewalks, bike paths, <br />and public transit stops. <br />ALAMEDA COUNTY <br />John J.
