SACRAMENTO-More than 1,600 acres in the Natomas basin will be fair game for developers if a federal court judge approves a compromise between the Sacramento City Council, environmentalists and developers.

The accord would allow for 1,668 acres to be developed this year in exchange for setting aside more than 800 acres, or half as much land, as a safe habitat for endangered species. Projects that could proceed this year include several residential subdivisions by Lennar Homes and AKT Development Co.

City officials maintain an estimated $1 billion in city and developer money has been committed to develop Natomas. A major revamp of the city’s endangered species Habitat Conservation Plan is scheduled for completion by year’s end. The Plan will govern development over the long term.
