| Carmel Valley is a master planned community that began with the institutional name “North City West.” When originally proposed, the residents of Del Mar were concerned about the impact of this new development. Lawsuits were filed to prevent this urbanization. The Carmel Valley name comes from the community's location--in a wide valley immediately to the north of Carmel Mountain, which is a minor feature at the intersection of I-5 and SR-56. There is, in fact, a Carmel Valley Fault, which presumably runs through or near the valley. Originally only occupying a small area, Carmel Valley has grown by leaps and bounds. |
