Torrey Hills, San Diego, California

Torrey Hills, San Diego, California

Torrey Hills is a community of 784 acres (317 hectares) located in northern San Diego, California.

Geography

Torrey Hills is bordered to the north by State Route 56 and Carmel Valley; to the northeast by Carmel Valley; to the south and southeast by Los Peñasquitos Canyon and Mira Mesa; and to the west by Interstate 5.

History

During 1979 when Carmel Valley was being planned, the city had conducted studies on the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve as an open space park and had not determined the boundary of the park, so the City designated Sorrento Hills (now Torrey Hills) as Future Urbanizing on the General Plan. In February 1980, Genstar-Peñasquitos (now AG Land Associates, LLC) dedicated a total of convert|1806|acre|km2|0 of Los Peñasquitos Canyon to the City. This created a border for the preserve. As a result, a community planning program was initiated, and the original plan area was transferred from Future Urbanizing to Planned Urbanizing on the General Plan, excluding convert|178|acre|km2|1 adjacent to the Sorrento Hills community planning area, which was designated as Future Urbanizing.

On November 4, 1986, San Diego voters approved a transfer of convert|166|acre|km2|1 of government-owned land on the western boundary of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve located adjacent to Interstate 5 to a private landholder in exchange for convert|288|acre|km2|1 of land adjacent to the Los Peñasquitos Canyon preserve, north of the area referred to as "The Falls." Between the convert|166|acre|km2|1|sing=on parcel and Interstate 5, 12 additional acres were incorporated into the ballot measure, which in total provided an additional convert|178|acre|km2|1 to Sorrento Hills. The ballot resulted in the city designating Sorrento Hills as Planned Urbanizing.

In September 2001, the Sorrento Hills Community Planning Board voted to change the name of the community to Torrey Hills. In early 2002, the San Diego City Council initiated a plan amendment to formally change the community name.

The region shares the same zip code as surrounding communities and is often still referred as Carmel Valley.

Education

The only school in the community is Torrey Hills Elementary, part of the Del Mar Union School District. The Principal is Susan Paul. The Del Mar Union School District boundaries are such that some students are sent to Ocean Air Elementary, in Carmel Valley, San Diego. Middle school and high school students are served by the San Dieguito Union High School District (Carmel Valley Middle School, Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy.)
