So after doing more research, it seems that SeaWorld CEO Marc Swanson mentioned in this month's earning call that SeaWorld was planning on opening two hotels in the coming years (one in 2025 and a second in 2026), with others currently being planned.

I decided to look up the other parcels of land highlighted in yellow to see if there was any activity on them, and lo and behold, there was another preliminary plan filed with the Orange County Development Review Committee on the same day as the Starboard filing.
