The land is on the west side of South Natomas between I-80 and the Sacramento River.
Former Sacramento Mayor Heather Fargo is now president of the Environmental Council of Sacramento and is leading opposition to the project.
Fargo calls the area "prime foraging habitat."
"There's just no room and there's no shoulder for this amount of traffic," Harmatz said.
Plans also include four new schools, 83 acres of new commercial businesses, ten parks, and its signature feature — a tree-lined canal that can be used for recreation.
Opponents say the development would wipe out decades of efforts to preserve open space, protect wildlife, and support farming in Natomas.
The Sacramento County Planning Commission is scheduled to consider the Upper Westside project at its meeting Monday night. The plan would also need to be approved by the county Board of Supervisors before building could begin.
