What is a plaza unit of area?

"Plaza" is an informal term referring to the surface area of a public square or urban space, and it is not standardized in technical measurement systems.

Why use the US survey acre instead of the international acre?

The US survey acre is defined with the US survey foot and is used chiefly in US land surveying and legal boundaries, differing slightly from the international acre.

Can conversions from plaza to acre vary?

Yes, because the plaza is not a fixed unit, its numeric value changes by context, so conversions rely on an assumed area and may not be uniformly precise.
