Geography

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 hadn't 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 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 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 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 of land adjacent to the Los Peñasquitos Canyon preserve, north of the area referred to as "The Falls." Between the parcel and Interstate 5, 12 additional acres were incorporated into the ballot measure, which in total provided an additional 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 .
