The committee had various subcommittees, including Budget Subcommittee, Housing Subcommittee, Multi-purpose Service and Cultural Facility Subcommittee, Planning Subcommittee, Residential and Commercial Rehabilitation; Security Subcommittee, and Transportation, Parking, and Public Improvements Subcommittee. Chinese Cultural and Community Center of Greater Los Angeles (CCCCGLA) was also formed from plans on creating a cultural center in LA Chinatown.
Prior to the establishement of CCAC, the Chinatown Project Area Committee (PAC) was a 25 member committee group that was elected in 1978 for a proposed Chinatown Redevelopment Project, which would workwith the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency.
