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.

Why not just fit the cheapest operator?

An under-rated motor dies on the duty cycle. The gate's weight and daily use pick the unit.

Can I keep my remotes?

Usually. If the frequency matches we re-program what you already carry.

There's no power at the gate.

Solar and battery operators exist for exactly that. Where trenching is easy, we trench.

An operator out of the box is not a working gate. Limits, force, timers, the receiver and whatever remotes you already carry all get set on the gate itself, because that is the only place the settings mean anything.

Cycles a day is the number that picks the unit here. A high-cycle operator on a shared entry will outlive two or three residential ones.

Master-planned streets tend to have their utilities in known places, which makes power and control runs more predictable than on older lots.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Cooper City is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.
