Not only that, the bit about letting you "out-and-out own the work done on your own time... not [using] any company resources" is standard.
Most ownership clauses allow it, and many of them don't even require permission. They might require notice, or encourage you to check in with legal up front to preempt issues, but they don't require you to get approval for a project totally unrelated to your job. I'm not sure why people are claiming the situation is already so bad there's no point in caring.
