The effort to keep law enforcement and security technology company Axon from building 1,895 apartments as part of its new world headquarters campus in north Scottsdale took a step forward Dec. 21.
Former Scottsdale City Council member Bob Littlefield, dressed in a Santa Claus suit, delivered to city hall almost 27,000 signatures requesting the rezoning of the land for the campus be put on a ballot as a referendum.
Littlefield, husband to current city council member Kathy Littlefield and chair of the Taxpayers Against Awful Apartment Zoning Exemptions political action committee, needed 15,135 signatures.
