The city of Scottsdale may be facing a lawsuit alleging it acted unlawfully when it allowed McDowell Mountain Back Bowl LLC to alter its plan to build a 128-lot community coined Sereno Canyon.

One homeowner who purchased a 2-acre lot at the site says those actions — that ultimately changed the overall density — adversely impacted the property value of his land, as well as lots owned by others in the area.
