There's a brief overview of the flora and fauna in this desert here [1], and much more detail on the "See also" pages.

In particular, note the endemic flora — these species live _only_ in this desert.

I don't know what impact this development will have, so I won't comment on that.

Going to guess limited impact. The Colarado Desert is 7 million acres. This project will use 2000 acres. That's 0.02%.
