Torrey Highlands is a primarily residential community in northern San Diego, California. Most of the community has been developed from 2000 to present.

History

Before Torrey Highlands became a residential community, the area was largely used for agricultural purposes.

In 1980, the area received an influx of displaced migrant villagers from the Rancho Diablo encampment in Pacific Highlands Ranch, who lived off of the land while working on the farms in the area. [1] The community of Rancho Diablo lived in between the canyons before being evicted from Torrey Highlands in the 2010s.

In 1996, the Torrey Highlands Subarea Plan was approved by the City Council and by the voters of the City of San Diego, graduating from the North City Future Urbanizing Area plan. [2]

The community was mostly built in the 2000s as a largely residential community with the State Route 56 cutting through the community.

Geography

Torrey Highlands is bordered: to the north by Black Mountain Ranch; to the south by Del Mar Mesa; to the east by Rancho Peñasquitos; to the west by Pacific Highlands Ranch; and to the northwest by Fairbanks Ranch.

The Torrey Highlands Subarea Plan was approved in 1996 by voters and the City Council. The Torrey Highlands Subarea Plan limited dwelling units to no more than 2,600 and designated 50 percent of Torrey Highlands for residential development, 30 percent for parks and open space, 12 percent for schools, 5 percent for commercial, and 3 percent for employment centers. [3]
