On September 28, 2026, Scottsdale residents and the group Taxpayers Against Awful Apartment Zoning Exemptions filed an appeal in Arizona state courts seeking to invalidate a state law that bars voter participation in decisions about Axon’s development project in Scottsdale.
The plaintiffs contend that the law is unconstitutional because it prevents voters from weighing in on the project.
The appeal follows Arizona’s recent enactment of legislation that restricts voter input on certain large‑scale development projects, while Axon moves forward with its planned construction in the city.
