new development south of 56?

[Essbee]

On my 56 West commute each evening, I have been seeing increasing work just south of 56, between Carmel Valley Rd and Camino del Sur. Really giant dump trucks and other earth movers seem to be changing the landscape day by day. Does anyone know what is going in there?

BTW, yeah to Caltrans for adding a traffic meter at Carmel Country or one of those. I hope it will make a huge difference for the evening commute! It may discourage those who get off the freeway, and then get right back on, in their attempt to get ahead.

Maybe it’s this:

??

that is, maybe it’s the “affordable housing units” mentioned in the article as being “south of 56”.

It’s a mixed use development project called The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch.

I’m referring to something south of 56. (It sounds like the project in the article is north of 56).

Noticed it as well. I was thinking since the end of the world is coming soon with the drought and all the city would stop building permits to conserve water.

I should conserve water while they add more people and buildings and keep Torry Pines green? I’ll get right on it.

Land use map says that low density housing in tract RS-1-14. Of course the average dummy like me can’t make heads or tails out of this info. Completely obtuse, non-transparent. Landowners not listed here?

I think D.R. Horton owns or owned the land.

Thank you!! Yes, that is the spot! On the PDF map, it is labeled as “low density housing”, elementary school, and park. Wow. I think they will need to build the new middle school as well.

Isn’t everything in Pacific Highlands Ranch being developed by Pardee?
