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

A boundary is usually three or four different problems: the frontage anyone sees, the side returns nobody does, and wherever it meets a neighbour. They get treated as one run so the finishes and the heights actually agree.

City boundaries are short runs with a lot of returns. The corners and the step-downs are where a fence line either looks considered or looks improvised.

On a short frontage the gate, the operator and the access hardware are all competing for the same few feet.

Also inside the HVHZ

Broward falls inside the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Miami-Dade, so the wind rating carries across the county line unchanged. What does not carry across is the paperwork: permitting is administered locally, and the sensible order is to ask what Hollywood expects before the steel is ordered rather than after.
