Why GA is Dying

Here if there's a zoning issue and I would like to have my say I simply show up at the city council meeting.

Can you vote? If I came from out of town, could I vote on your zoning
issues?

Can't say I'ver ever heard of a municipality handling zoning issues via an
election.

Aren't they usually handled by a Zoning Board or Commssion who hold hearings
where the public is welcome to come and voice their view on a proposed
change?

Here in Chandler, AZ, they are even televised on the local government-access
cable channel.

Usually it's a zoning board, but sometimes a referendum is called for.
Actually, when I mentioned zoning, I meant to refer to the larger set of
land use questions, including tax and school issues (paid out of the
property tax).

Zoning issues aren't something the public votes on. The city council
votes on it. You may also show up and have your say at the meeting.
