HOA rules by community · Santa Clara
Entrada at Snow Canyon
Entrada is not one association. The Entrada Property Owners Association covers thirteen subdivisions, and The Cliffs of Snow Canyon, Lava Cove and Lava Falls are separate associations with different managers. Before you ask what the rules are, find out which association you are actually in.
What is published is the design review calendar and the gate access schedule. The design guidelines themselves — document name, section numbers, revision date — were not obtained in this research, and we have not invented them. Below is what is confirmed, followed by the Utah provisions that apply to any association here.
Managed by PMP Management (Entrada Property Owners Association); The Cliffs of Snow Canyon is managed by Paul Properties and Lava Cove POA by Monarch. Confirm the current manager with your association before you rely on it.
Design review
When the EDRC meets, when to submit, and what needs approval.
- The Entrada Design Review Committee meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m.1
- Submissions are due the Thursday before the meeting.2
- All exterior changes need EDRC approval, and the association names paint, landscaping, stone, barbecues, spas, solar and landscape lighting specifically.2
Structure and management
Four associations, several managers, and eight gates.
- The Entrada Property Owners Association covers thirteen subdivisions, but The Cliffs of Snow Canyon, Lava Cove POA and Lava Falls are separate associations with different managers.2
- The Cliffs of Snow Canyon is managed by Paul Properties and Lava Cove POA by Monarch.2
- The Entrada Property Owners Association is managed by PMP Management.2
- Paul Properties Inc. can be reached at 435-674-3444.3
- Entrada has eight gates and a manned gatehouse; fobs are $30 each, one per garage bay, pedestrian keys are $15, and guest access runs through the MyQ app.2
Landscape and lighting
Where Entrada's exterior review meets Santa Clara's dark sky and the county rebate.
- Landscape lighting at Entrada is one of the items that requires EDRC approval before it goes in.2
- Snow Canyon State Park was designated an International Dark Sky park in December 2025, which bears directly on Ivins and Santa Clara — the two submarkets where lighting rules bite hardest.2
- The county rebate pays $3 per square foot on the first 1,000 square feet and $2 per square foot after that, for projects completed before June 1, 2027.4
- The rebate requires living grass at the pre-conversion inspection, and the district states that demolishing a lawn before the approval email arrives voids eligibility — which matters here, because the EDRC approval has to be obtained as well.4
- Ungrouted pavers and dry-set flagstone count as mulch and stay inside the rebated area, while poured concrete and grouted or mortared work are subtracted from the incentive calculation.4
- A rebated conversion carries a conservation easement that continues in perpetuity, is recorded with the Washington County Recorder, and restricts only the converted portion of the property.4
1 more fact, with sources
- The water district invites homeowners whose association compels them to keep grass to email conservation@wcwcd.org, and says associations may still enforce design standards for water-efficient landscape.4
What the statute adds
Utah provisions that bear on an EDRC submittal. State the rule and the statute, then confirm with the association or an attorney.
- Utah Code § 57-8a-701 provides that no governing document other than a declaration may prohibit solar, and that size or location restrictions must not cut efficiency or raise cost by more than 5% — worth reading against Entrada's requirement that solar go through the EDRC.2
- Utah Code § 57-8a-109(2) provides that an association may not charge a plan fee that exceeds the actual cost of reviewing and approving the lot plans.3
- Utah Code § 57-8a-109(4) requires that a written denial specify each governing document provision the association relied on and the specific aspect of the plan that does not conform to it.3
- Utah has no statutory deemed-approval provision and no statutory review deadline, so any silence-equals-approval rule at Entrada would have to come from the declaration or design guidelines themselves.3
- Utah Code § 57-8a-109(3) bars an association from prohibiting, unreasonably restricting, denying or delaying a plan because it includes fire-resistant material — Class A roofing, non-combustible siding, fibre cement, metal roofing, fire-rated gypsum — in an area with heightened wildfire risk.3
- Utah Code § 57-8a-218(15)(b)(iii), added by H.B. 215 in 2026, bars a rule that prohibits, or has the effect of prohibiting, removal of vegetation from a lot within a designated wildland-urban interface area.3
2 more facts, with sources
- Utah Code § 57-8a-218(22)(c)(iii) and § 57-8a-212 bar restricting a lot owner from hiring a contractor solely because the contractor is not on the association's preferred vendor list, or lacks a licence that is not required by law.1
- Under Utah Code § 57-8a-227(4)(a), an association must comply with a written records request within 10 business days, and § 57-8a-227(5)(b) gives the owner $25 per day beginning the eleventh business day if it does not.3
What we could not read
These are the parts of Entrada at Snow Canyon’s documents we could not get to a verified copy of. We would rather say so than guess. Your association can give you the current versions, and Utah Code § 57-8a-227 says what they have to hand over on request.
- The Entrada design guidelines themselves
- Which association you are in
- Lava Falls and Lava Cove association structure
- Santa Clara's outdoor lighting ordinance
- Dues, construction hours, deposits and contractor insurance
