It has other hurdles to clear, but the Oakland A’s proposal to build a waterfront ballpark and mixed-use development hit a major milestone Thursday after the City Council approved a 3,500-page report that signals the project passes environmental muster.

The council voted after an hours-long discussion Thursday evening in a 6-2 vote to certify the environmental impact report, a requirement under California law to establish that the city is sufficiently mitigating any impacts to things like air quality, pollution, traffic and noise.
