There is no room for a gate to swing.

Then it should not swing. A slide or a cantilever gets the same opening without needing an arc that is not there.

Will it overhang the sidewalk?

It should not, and that is a design constraint rather than a preference — whatever the gate does happens inside the property line.

What does the county require?

Broward sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so wind rating is set by code. The permit itself is local, and an HOA architectural review often runs alongside it.

Is Broward the same as Miami-Dade?

For wind load, yes — both counties are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. For permitting, no: that is administered locally and it is not identical from city to city.

Barrier arm lowered across the entry lane of a gated residential community. — Central Broward — The older inland grid either side of I-95 and the canal network that runs through it.

Hollywood · Broward County

The everyday case is not a burglar, it is a delivery driver at four in the afternoon while you are somewhere else. Telephone entry turns that into a phone call you can answer, and the gate opens from the call.

Deliveries are constant on a city lot. Telephone entry rings your phone wherever you happen to be, and the gate opens from the call rather than from the doorstep.

Where the property line meets a public sidewalk, everything the gate does has to happen inside the property.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Hollywood handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.
