2020 SeaWorld Master Plan Update
San Diego
Description
SeaWorld's update to its master plan for the 189.4-acre Mission Bay leasehold shifts from site-specific projects to area-based criteria across five planning areas, adds drone shows as preferred nighttime entertainment, and includes mobility and sustainability improvements. The council approved it with a fireworks cap; the Coastal Commission has final say.
Impact summary
No new development or permits are required now — this sets the long-range framework for future SeaWorld improvements, with all future projects still needing Coastal Commission approval.
