100: Statutory acknowledgements to be attached to land use plans

You could also call this:

"Important notes about an area are added to its land use plan"

If a statutory acknowledgement applies to a district, it must be attached to the land use plan for that district. You will see the statutory acknowledgement with the plan, but it is only for public information. The rules that create the statutory acknowledgement still apply.
