From what I have heard, Pardee owns that huge parcel of land due south of Meadows Del Mar (between Meadows Del Mar and Rancho Penasquitos Reserve) and plans to develop a custom home community (subdivide/sell lots). It’s supposed to be similar to what they did with Rancho Pacifica but a notch below in terms of exclusivity. Apparently they are in a battle over environmental issues, so can’t move forward with their plans yet. Eventually, Carmel Mountain Road should connect up with the road on Del Mar Mesa that currently dead-ends at Duck Pond Ranch. And hopefully, the proposed connecting road to 56 will also be completed. That would make living up in those areas of Del Mar Mesa way more convenient.
