How to retain default selinux context for apache log files ?

Issue

• How to retain default selinux context as httpd_log_t for apache log files without writing a new file context ?
• Will selinux policy be overwritten after adding allow httpd_t httpd_log_t:file { read } to the httpd_log_t type ?
• HTTPD does not start after OS patch with (13)Permission denied: AH00091: httpd: could not open error log file /path/to/log/file.
AH00015: Unable to open logs for custom log directory
